Sausage + Apple Sheet Pan Dinner
2-4
servings40
minutesIngredients
4 hot Italian sausages, halved
1 apple, sliced (I'm using honey crisp but any kind will work!)
15-20 brussel sprouts, halved
10 large kale leaves, stems removed (tuscan or curly)
1 540mL can brown lentils
5 tbsp olive oil, divided
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp grainy mustard
1/2 tbsp honey
salt (I'm using Diamond Crystal)
optional: gruyére and chopped roasted almonds for serving
Directions
Preheat oven to 425°F.
To a large sheet pan add apple slices and brussel sprouts. Cover with 2 generous tbsps olive oil and 1/2 tsp salt. Use your hands to toss.
Lay your brussel sprouts open-side down on the pan. Nestle your sausages around the sprouts, then sprinkle the apple slices in any open spaces. Without being fussy, make a little space between each piece. This is going to promote browning and make sure the sprouts come out crispy.
Bake at 425°F for 30-35 minutes, or until the sprouts are golden brown.
While you wait, finish your prep. Start by ripping the kale into bite-sized pieces. Then, drain and rinse your lentils. Finally, make the dressing by mixing 3 tbsp olive oil, vinegar, honey and mustard in a jar or small bowl. Add salt to taste. It should be bright and very mustard-forward.
When the brussel sprouts are golden brown, remove from the oven, add your lentils and kale, then toss in your mustard vinaigrette. Put it back in the oven for another 10 minutes to finish cooking.
Serve with grated gruyére and chopped roasted almonds. Enjoy!
