Ingredients
12 oz Italian chicken sausage, sliced into ¼-inch rounds
2 cups Brussels sprouts, chopped
1 medium sweet potato, diced
½ red onion, sliced
⅓ cup walnuts
2 Tbsp olive oil
½ tsp kosher salt
½ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp black pepper
Steamed quinoa (for serving)
Parmesan cheese (optional)
Maple Mustard Sauce
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
2 Tbsp pure maple syrup
1 garlic clove, minced
¼ tsp red chili flakes
¼ tsp kosher salt
¼ tsp black pepper
1–2 Tbsp water (to thin, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 °F (about 220 °C).
- Prep & toss ingredients: On a large sheet pan, combine sausage slices, chopped Brussels sprouts, diced sweet potato, sliced red onion, and walnuts. Drizzle with olive oil and season with kosher salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Toss until everything is evenly coated.
- Spread evenly: Arrange ingredients in a single, even layer to ensure crispiness and even roasting.
- Roasting Time: Cook for about 30 minutes, until sweet potatoes are fork-tender and Brussels sprouts are crisp and caramelized.
- Make the sauce: While vegetables roast, whisk together olive oil, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, minced garlic, red chili flakes, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Add water 1 Tbsp at a time to reach your desired consistency.
- Serve: Spoon roasted veggies and sausage over a bed of steamed quinoa. Generously drizzle with Maple Mustard Sauce, and finish with parmesan cheese if desired.
Notes
Swap walnuts for pumpkin seeds for a nut-free version.
Try smoked sausage, turkey sausage, or tofu.
Use your favorite grain or serve with crusty bread.
Add kale or spinach during the last 5 minutes of roasting for extra greens.
