Instructions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. 2
    In a large bowl, combine sweet potatoes, carrots, parsnips, and red onion. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat all vegetables evenly.
  3. 3
    Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan. Roast for 15 minutes.
  4. 4
    Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Add the sliced chicken sausage and apple wedges to the pan. Drizzle the apples and sausage with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and toss gently with the vegetables.
  5. 5
    Return the sheet pan to the oven and roast for another 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized, and the sausage is heated through and lightly browned. Stir halfway through this second roasting period for even cooking.
  6. 6
    Serve hot directly from the sheet pan or transfer to serving plates.
