Instructions

Step-by-Step Instructions for Sausage and Apple Sheet Pan

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure perfectly roasted sausages and caramelized apples while you prep the ingredients.
Slice Italian sausages into bite-sized pieces, and chop the Honeycrisp apples and red onions into wedges for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine sliced sausages, chopped apples, onion wedges, rosemary, and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, tossing everything together.
Transfer the mixture onto a large baking sheet, spreading it out in a single layer to avoid overcrowding for optimal roasting.
Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, tossing halfway through to promote even cooking and caramelization.
Once done, remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm directly from the pan or on individual plates.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to three days. Reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness. Drizzle maple syrup before roasting for added sweetness if desired.
