Roasted Sausage, Apples, Leeks & Potatoes
Serves 4
Active: 5 min
Total: 35 min
Ingredients
2 small crisp red apples (such as Empire or Braeburn), quartered
2 leeks (white and light green parts only), halved
2 yellow potatoes (about 1/2 lb total), cut into 1/2-in.-thick wedges
8 sprigs fresh thyme
2 Tbsp olive oil
Kosher salt and pepper
8 small chicken sausage links (about 1 1/2 lb total)
1. Heat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. In a large roasting pan, toss the apples, leeks, potatoes, thyme, oil, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper. Roast for 15 minutes.
2. Stir the vegetables and add the sausages to the pan, nestling them among the vegetables. Roast until the sausage is cooked through and the vegetables are tender, 15 to 20 minutes more.
Prep Tip: Try substituting Bartlett pears for the apples in this recipe. Like apples, the pears will add a caramelized sweetness to this savory dish.
