Notes
Top tips
- Cut the sweet potatoes the same size and keep the brussels sprouts around the same thickness to ensure everything cooks evenly.
- Use an extra-large sheet pan to ensure all the ingredients can cook in one layer so they caramelize not steam. If you don't have an extra-large sheet pan, divide the sweet potatoes and brussels sprouts between two regular sheet pans.
- Add the sausage at the beginning of cooking if you like it really crispy, otherwise add it to warm through during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
- Make this chicken apple sausage sheet pan dinner low carb by swapping out the sweet potatoes for cauliflower.
- For the easiest clean up, put down parchment paper or a silicone liner on the baking sheet. If you don’t want to do the extra dish you can also coat the veggies in olive oil and spices directly on the sheet pan. Be sure to stir well and then flatten.
- Serve leftovers the next morning with eggs for a simple breakfast.
- Make this in a skillet instead. Follow the directions to make sweet potato brussels sprouts hash. Follow the same directions in the recipe, except change the spices and add the sausage instead of eggs before cooking in the oven.
- To save time, you can buy sweet potatoes already peeled and cubed from the store or you can prep them in advance and store them in the fridge for up to 3 days.
