nonstick cooking spray
12 oz smoked sausage, sliced
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
2 crisp apples, cored and diced
1 lb Brussels sprouts, halved
1 medium red onion, cut into chunks
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup pure maple syrup

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly coat a large rimmed sheet pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Arrange sausage, sweet potatoes, apples, Brussels sprouts, onion, and garlic on the prepared pan. If the mixture is too crowded, divide between two pans.
In a small bowl, whisk olive oil, maple syrup, and Dijon mustard until combined. Drizzle mixture over sausage and veggies. Toss to coat evenly. Season with salt and pepper.
Roast for 30–40 minutes, stirring halfway through, until veggies are tender and slightly caramelized.
Serve warm and enjoy.

Variations

Swap smoked sausage for chicken sausage, kielbasa, or turkey sausage.
Use butternut squash instead of sweet potatoes for a seasonal twist.
Add carrots, parsnips, or bell peppers for more veggie variety.
Make it spicy by stirring in a teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the glaze.
Try honey mustard instead of Dijon for a sweeter, milder flavor.

Storage/Reheating

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat in a skillet over medium heat or in the oven at 375°F for 10 minutes until warmed through.
Not ideal for freezing, as apples may become mushy after thawing.

FAQs

Can I use pre-cooked sausage?

Yes, smoked sausage is already cooked—roasting helps it caramelize and develop flavor.

Can I prep this meal ahead of time?

Yes, chop veggies and sausage, and whisk the glaze up to a day ahead. Store separately until ready to roast.

Can I use regular potatoes instead of sweet potatoes?

Absolutely—russet, red, or Yukon gold potatoes all work well.

What type of apples work best?

Crisp, firm apples like Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Gala hold up best during roasting.

Do I need to peel the apples?

No, peeling is optional. Leaving the peel adds extra fiber and texture.

Can I double this recipe?

Yes, just use two sheet pans to avoid overcrowding. Rotate pans halfway through baking.

Is this dish gluten-free?

Yes, as long as your sausage brand is certified gluten-free.

Can I make this vegetarian?

Yes, omit sausage or substitute with a plant-based sausage alternative.

How do I keep the veggies from steaming instead of roasting?

Spread them in a single layer and don’t overcrowd the pan. Use two pans if needed.

Can I add cheese on top?

Yes, sprinkle freshly grated parmesan or crumbled feta over the dish after roasting.
