Sheet Pan Sausage, Sweet Potato and Apples
There’s something about the crisp air of autumn that calls for cozy, hearty meals, and this sheet pan dinner is perfect for just that. Sheet pan Sausage, Sweet Potato and Apples make a simple weeknight meal that packs tons of flavour while being incredibly easy to prepare—everything comes together on one sheet pan, in about 30 minutes (mostly hands off!) and since it’s a sheet pan dinner - cleanup is a breeze!
The combination of roasted sausages, sweet potatoes, carrots, and apples creates a dish that's both savory and sweet, with each bite bursting with autumn goodness. The miso adds a super subtle flavour that blends beautifully with the acidity of the apple cider vinegar. I serve mine on a bed of fresh spinach and finished with a squeeze of lemon, it makes for a low-carb, high-protein meal that’s deliciously satisfying. But if you need an even heartier option, make up a batch of rice to pile the sausage and roasted veggies onto!

Sheet Pan Sausage, Sweet Potato & Apples
Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed into 1” pieces
2 carrots, sliced
1 lb mild Italian sausage (you can also go for hot Italian or even garlic!)
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp miso paste
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp maple syrup (or honey)
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (or any light white vinegar)
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp salt & pepper
2 apples, chopped into wedges
5 oz baby spinach
more olive oil for drizzling
1 lemon
optional: chopped fresh parsley or parmesan for garnish
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 425F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
Onto the sheet pan, toss together the sweet potatoes, the sliced carrots, the miso, honey, dijon apple cider vinegar, the thyme and oregano, S&P and using your hands, smoosh the miso and dijon all over everything. You can do it. It’s a bit messy.
Prick each sausage 3 times with a fork and put into the oven to roast for 20 minutes.
Remove the sheet pan after 20 minutes and transfer the sausages to a cutting board. Slice the sausages on the diagonal. Place the sausages back onto the sheet pan with the apples. Roast for 15-20 more minutes, until the carrots are fork-tender.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with any fresh herbs you have, drizzle with olive oil and maybe some parmesan.
Serve on a bed of spinach with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and enjoy!
