Ingredients

Yield: 4 servings

Main

  • 1 lb pre-cooked chicken sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
  • 1.5 lbs brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 1 large sweet potato, peeled and diced into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup (optional, for caramelization)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Step 2

    In a large bowl, combine the sliced chicken sausage, halved brussels sprouts, and diced sweet potato. Add the olive oil, maple syrup (if using), garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until well coated.

  3. Step 3

    Spread the mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. If needed, use two baking sheets.

  4. Step 4

    Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the brussels sprouts are tender-crisp and lightly browned, and the sweet potatoes are soft. Flip the ingredients halfway through cooking for even browning.

  5. Step 5

    Serve hot and enjoy this simple, delicious meal!

Tips

  • For crispier brussels sprouts, ensure they are spread in a single layer and not overlapping too much.
  • Any pre-cooked sausage (pork, turkey) can be used here. Adjust seasonings as desired.
  • A drizzle of balsamic glaze or a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese after roasting can add an extra layer of flavor.
