- 4 links fully-cooked chicken sausage sliced ½-inch thick (about 12 to 14 ounces)
- 2 medium sweet potatoes peeled and cut into ¾-inch cubes (about 1 ½ pounds)
- 1 large red bell pepper cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 medium red onion halved and cut into thick wedges
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ¼ teaspoon salt or to taste
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Maple-Mustard Glaze
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 small garlic clove minced
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes optional
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil or use an unlined baking sheet.
Add sweet potatoes, bell pepper, and onion to the sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle the seasonings over the top, and toss to coat. Roast 20 minutes, stirring once halfway through.
Add the sausage, toss with the veggies, and roast 10 to 15 minutes more, until the sweet potatoes are tender and edges are browning.
Meanwhile, whisk the glaze ingredients in a small bowl. Drizzle the glaze over the pan and roast 5 minutes more.
Optional broil for extra color: Move the pan to an upper rack and broil 2 to 3 minutes, watching closely, until nicely caramelized.
Garnish with parsley, if desired, and serve.
Chicken Sausage: I use Whole Foods Mild Italian Chicken Sausage, but any brand or flavor of fully cooked chicken sausage will work.
