Main Ingredients

Instructions

Preheat the oven

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

Pro tip: Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even roasting.

Prepare vegetables and apples

In a large bowl, combine baby potatoes, carrots, bell peppers, and apples. Drizzle with olive oil, and season with thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

Pro tip: Cut vegetables into similar sizes for uniform cooking.

Arrange on baking sheet

Spread the vegetable and apple mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet.

Pro tip: Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure even roasting.

Add sausages

Nestle the sausages among the vegetables on the baking sheet.

Pro tip: Space sausages evenly for uniform cooking.

Roast in oven

Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 35-45 minutes, or until the sausages are cooked through and the vegetables are tender.

Pro tip: Turn the vegetables and sausages halfway through for even browning.

Check doneness

Ensure sausages reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). Use a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part.

Pro tip: Probe sausages to verify safe eating temperature.
