Ingredients
- 4 chicken apple sausages
- 24 oz baby potato medley
- 1 cup baby carrots
- 2 small or 1 large broccoli crown, chopped
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1½ tsp garlic powder
- 1½ tsp onion powder
- ¼ tsp paprika
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Step-by-Step Instructions
Preheat & prep:
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Slice the chicken apple sausages and chop the potatoes and broccoli into bite-sized pieces.
Roast the potatoes and carrots:
In a large bowl, toss the chopped potatoes and carrots with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon each of garlic and onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on a large sheet pan and roast for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through for even cooking.
Add the broccoli:
While the potatoes cook, mix the broccoli with 1 tablespoon olive oil, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon onion powder, salt, and pepper. Add to the pan after 20 minutes of roasting, keeping it to one side. Roast for another 10 minutes.
Add the sausage:
Remove the pan again and make space for the sliced chicken sausage. Place it on the pan and roast for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through. You can keep each ingredient separate or toss them together your choice!
Glaze & finish:
Drizzle maple syrup over the roasted veggies and sausage, season again with salt and pepper, and roast for the final 10 minutes. The result? Sweet, savory perfection with golden, caramelized edges.
Serve & enjoy:
Serve warm straight from the sheet pan or with a side of brown rice or quinoa for a complete Healthy Fall Meals Dinners option.
Pro Tip: Add a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes or a drizzle of balsamic glaze for an extra layer of flavor.
Pro Tips
- Make it ahead: Perfect for meal prep just portion into containers and store in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Swap it up: Try sweet potatoes instead of the medley or add Brussels sprouts for extra fall flavor.
- Add crunch: Toss in chopped pecans or walnuts before serving for a fun texture contrast.
