Roasted Sausage and Potatoes with Apples

sheetpansausageapplespotatoes Roasting apples and potatoes together yields this beautifully sweet caramelized flavor that is just oh so very good. My original Simply Roasted Apples and Potatoes were the inspiration for this sheet pan dinner. The bonus here is that we’re adding sausage so you can enjoy this as is with nothing else or pair it with a green veggie on the side to really make it a meal. Red onion, seasonings, herbs… all simple things that add a bit more flavor to this winning meal. Sausage, apples, and potatoes roast together to create an incredibly easy tasty meal that's ready in about 30 minutes! I love the sweetness that the apple adds and I'm betting you will.

4 sausages, cooked, such as chicken, beef, pork or turkey
½ medium red onion
1½ lbs potatoes, russet, gold, or baby Dutch yellow potatoes
3 medium apples, such as Gala
3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1 tsp. dried basil
1 tsp. dried rosemary
¾¾ tsp. sea salt
¾ tsp. ground mustard
¼ tsp. ground ginger
¼ tsp. black pepper, freshly ground

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C/200°C fan, Gas Mark 7).

Slice sausage into circles and add to a 12x17" baking sheet.

Slice your potatoes into 1 or 1½" pieces and add to baking sheet. (If using baby Dutch potatoes cut in halves or thirds.)

Slice your apples into 1 or 1½" pieces. These are larger than diced apples and should be consistent in size to the potatoes. Add to baking sheet.

Slice onion into strips the same size as your potato pieces. Add to baking sheet.

Drizzle sausage, potatoes, apples, and red onion with olive oil, basil, rosemary, salt, ground mustard, ground ginger, and pepper. Use a spatula to spread everything around so that it's all evenly coated. Spread in a single layer on the baking sheet.

Place in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until potatoes are tender. (Time varies based on the size of your potatoes but 25 minutes is ideal for my oven.)
