Sheet pan sausage with mustard-roasted roots

• 450 g smoked sausage links
• 3 medium carrotspeeled and cut into 2cm chunks
• 2 medium parsnipspeeled and cut into 2cm chunks
• 1 large red onioncut into thick wedges
• 350 g baby potatoeshalved
• 2 tbs avocado oil
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ¾ tsp kosher salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 2 tbs whole grain mustard
• 1 tbs apple cider vinegar
• 1 tsp honey
• 1 tbs extra virgin olive oil
• 10 g fresh flat-leaf parsleyroughly chopped

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F). Line the sheet pan with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, toss the carrots, parsnips, baby potatoes, and red onion wedges with the avocado oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until everything is evenly coated and the spices look well distributed.

   Tip: Cut your vegetables roughly the same size so they roast evenly — about 2cm chunks.

3. 3

   Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the sheet pan, leaving a little space between pieces. Nestle the sausage links right on top of and between the vegetables.

   Tip: Don't overcrowd — a single layer means better browning. Use the whole pan.

4. 4

   Roast for 15 minutes, then flip the sausages and stir the vegetables. Return to the oven and roast for another 8-10 minutes until the sausages are deeply browned and slightly split, and the vegetables are golden at the edges and fork-tender.

   Tip: If your vegetables are browning faster on one side of the oven, rotate the pan when you flip.

5. 5

   While the pan roasts, whisk together the whole grain mustard, apple cider vinegar, honey, and extra virgin olive oil in a small bowl until smooth and emulsified — it should look glossy and slightly thick.

6. 6

   Pull the pan from the oven and drizzle the mustard mixture all over the sausages and vegetables. Scatter the chopped parsley on top.

   Tip: Leftovers keep in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat on a sheet pan at 200°C (400°F) for 8-10 minutes to re-crisp the vegetables.
