Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
2
In a large bowl, combine the sliced chicken sausage, sweet potato cubes, carrot pieces, parsnip pieces (if using), and red onion wedges.
3
Drizzle the vegetables and sausage with olive oil. Add the chopped fresh rosemary, fresh thyme, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything thoroughly until all ingredients are well coated with the oil and seasonings.
4
Spread the seasoned sausage and vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure not to overcrowd the pan; use two baking sheets if necessary to allow for even roasting and browning.
5
Roast for 25-35 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the vegetables are tender-crisp and lightly caramelized, and the chicken sausage is heated through and slightly browned. Cooking time may vary depending on your oven and vegetable size.
6
Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving hot. This dish is a complete meal on its own or can be served with a simple green salad.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use raw chicken sausage?

Yes, but ensure it's fully cooked through (internal temperature 74°C/165°F) before serving, and it might require a slightly longer cooking time or slicing it thinner.

What if I don't have all the specified root vegetables?

Feel free to use what you have! Regular potatoes, butternut squash, or even broccoli florets (added halfway through cooking) can be great substitutions or additions.

How do I ensure the vegetables don't get soggy?

Don't overcrowd the baking sheet. Give the vegetables space to roast and brown, rather than steam. If your pan is too full, use two sheets.
