Method
Preheat and start the sweet potatoes
- Heat oven to 425°F and line a 13x18-inch rimmed sheet pan with parchment or lightly oil it; toss cubed sweet potato with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and spread in a single layer on one side of the pan; roast 10 minutes.
Sear sausages and prep remaining vegetables
- While sweet potatoes roast, pat turkey sausages dry; heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat and sear sausages 1 to 1 1/2 minutes per side until lightly browned; remove to a board. Toss Brussels sprouts, red onion, carrots, and apple with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and dried thyme.
Combine on the sheet pan and roast
- After sweet potatoes have roasted 10 minutes, add the tossed vegetables and seared sausages to the pan in a single layer; return to the oven and roast 15 to 18 minutes more, stirring the vegetables halfway through, until vegetables are tender and sausages reach 165°F internal temperature.
Glaze and finish
- Whisk maple syrup, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and red pepper flakes (if using); in the last 2 to 3 minutes of roasting, brush or drizzle the glaze over the sausages and vegetables and return to oven just until glossy; let rest 5 minutes, garnish with parsley, and serve.
Notes
Cut vegetables to uniform pieces for even cooking and avoid crowding the pan; sear sausages first to improve browning. Glaze at the end to prevent burning. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheat on a sheet pan at 375°F for 10–12 minutes to restore crispness.
