Description

Chicken Apple Sausage Sheet Pan Dinner is a delightful and easy one-pan meal featuring savory and sweet chicken apple sausage paired with an assortment of roasted vegetables including baby potatoes, Brussels sprouts, carrots, and red onions. This hearty dish balances flavors with a hint of maple syrup and Dijon mustard, making it perfect for a quick and satisfying weeknight dinner with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Sausage

  • 1 lb (450 g) chicken apple sausage, sliced

Vegetables

  • 1 lb (450 g) baby potatoes, halved
  • 2 cups Brussels sprouts, halved
  • 2 medium carrots, sliced
  • 1 small red onion, sliced

Seasoning & Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare it for roasting the vegetables and sausage.
  2. Prepare the vegetables: Arrange the halved baby potatoes, Brussels sprouts, sliced carrots, and sliced red onion evenly on a large sheet pan.
  3. Season the vegetables: Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables, then sprinkle garlic powder, dried thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper evenly. Toss all the vegetables thoroughly to ensure an even coating of oil and seasoning.
  4. Roast the vegetables: Place the sheet pan in the oven and roast the vegetables for 20 minutes. This helps them begin to soften and develop a roasted flavor.
  5. Add the sausage: Remove the sheet pan from the oven and add the sliced chicken apple sausage to the vegetables.
  6. Prepare the glaze and combine: In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup and Dijon mustard. Drizzle this mixture over the sausage and vegetables. Toss gently to coat everything evenly without disturbing the initial roasting.
  7. Finish roasting: Return the sheet pan to the oven and roast for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the sausage is nicely browned.
  8. Serve: Once cooked, remove from the oven and serve warm to enjoy the full flavors of this hearty sheet pan dinner.

Notes

  • Cut the baby potatoes into smaller pieces to ensure even cooking and tenderness.
  • Add diced apples for an extra touch of sweetness and complementary flavor.
  • Swap regular baby potatoes for sweet potatoes to vary the flavor and nutritional profile.
  • Use alternative vegetables such as broccoli, zucchini, or green beans in place of Brussels sprouts for variety or preference.
