Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken sausage cut into 1-inch pieces (see notes)
- 1 lb baby yellow potatoes halved or quartered (depending on size)
- 2 Granny Smith apples peeled, cored and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 shallot thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Toss the potatoes with one tablespoon of olive oil, and arrange them on the baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt and roast for 10 minutes to give them a head start.
- While the potatoes roast, whisk the remaining tablespoon of olive oil together with the honey in the bottom of a large mixing bowl. Add the sausage, apples, shallot, and thyme to the bowl. Season with a bit of freshly ground black pepper, then toss everything to combine.
- After 10 minutes, remove the potatoes from the oven and add them to the bowl. Toss everything together, then return it to the baking sheet in a single layer.
- Roast for an additional 15 minutes, or until the potatoes and apples are tender and the sausage is heated through.
Notes
ABOUT THE CHICKEN SAUSAGE: We like making this dish with fully-cooked chicken and apple sausage. However, you can use mild Italian chicken or turkey sausage instead. To ensure fresh sausage is cooked through, cut it into pieces and pre-roast along with the potatoes.
