  1. Finish roasting. Remove the veggies from the oven and add the sausage and apples. Toss with the sauce and finish roasting for 20 more minutes, until everything is golden and crispy.

Although these ingredients work really well together, you can swap our the veggies for what you have on hand like butternut squash, potatoes, broccoli, or carrots.

Molly’s Tips

  • Try and cut all of the veggies roughly the same size to ensure even cooking.
  • Use the amount of oil called for when roasted the sweet potatoes and brussels sprouts. This helps the brussels get nice and crispy.
  • To quickly stem the herbs, hold the top and pull down the stem to remove the leaves quickly then give them a rough chop.
  • Use the Al Fresco store locator to find a retailer near you that sells the Sweet Apple Chicken Sausage. It goes so well with the fall flavors.

Storage & Freezing

To store: place leftovers in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

To reheat: place back on a large, foil-lined baking sheet and cook at 350°F until warmed all the way through. This also reheats well on the stovetop or in the microwave.

To freeze: place cooled sausage and veggies in an-air tight container and store in the freezer for up to 3 months. Allow to thaw overnight in the fridge then follow the instructions above to reheat.

  • While the veggies are roasting, dice the apples (remove skin if desired) and slice the chicken sausage on the bias and set both aside.
    2 medium apples, 2 (11oz) packages maple sauage
  • In a small bowl, combine the remaining 2 Tablespoons of olive oil, thyme, rosemary, salt, pepper, maple syrup and dijon mustard and whisk well to combine.
    2 Tablespoons fresh thyme, 2 teaspoons fresh chopped rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, 1/4 cup maple syrup, 1 Tablespoon dijon mustard
  • Remove the veggies from the oven and add the sausage and apples to the pan. Drizzle the sauce over everything and toss well to combine. Spread the ingredients out evenly across the sheet pan in one even layer.
  • Bake for an additional 20-25 minutes or until veggies and apples are fork-tender and the edges are crispy and golden brown. If you want them more crispy you can broil it for 1-2 minutes.

    Yummy dish for breakfast or dinner! I just wish I could have used the Al Fresco Chicken Sausage. I could only find maple chicken breakfast sausages, and I do not think the texture was the same…
