This is the quickest sausage recipe that I know. It's a brilliant 'chop it all up, chuck it all in' type recipe, a tray bake, or sheet pan dinner if you're in the US. Perfect after a long working day for a quick weeknight dinner. Ideally you need one of those larger than average, rectangular baking trays to cook it on. My favourite are the Circulon ones. They are just the right height at the sides to stop oil spilling over, and they clean beautifully. Nothing sticks to them either!

The Sausage Tray Bake recipe has parsnip, potatoes and peppers with garlic, thyme and rosemary mixed together with the sausages for added flavour. Because all the ingredients in this recipe cook together, none of the flavours are lost and everything gets a lovely stickiness from the sausage juices. I can't tell you how delicious it is! 

Top Tips

• If you're not a huge fan of sausage, you could swap it out for chicken, but you would need to let the veg cook for a good 15-20 minutes before you add the chicken, so it doesn't dry out.
• Leave the skin on the potatoes- it makes them crispier and it's good for you- all that fibre!
• You can use any kind of sausage, but, to avoid clashing flavours, I would keep it to a simple pork sausage, nothing more adventurous than a Cumberland.
• Gravy goes beautifully with this meal. If you're keeping it simple, use instant gravy. If you fancy something a little extra, use the time that the tray bake is cooking, to make my Onion Gravy You won't regret it.

Sausage Tray Bake- an easy autumn winter dinner, quick and easy to make. Chunky sausages, parsnips, peppers and potatoes all roasted together with rosemary and thyme and served up with gravy.

ingredients:

• 8 sausages (of your choice)
• 6 medium potatoes
• 2 parsnips
• 1 onion
• 2 peppers
• 3 garlic cloves
• 1 tsp rosemary
• 1 tsp thyme
• 2 tbsp olive oil

instructions:

How to cook Sausage Tray Bake

1. Heat the oven to 220 (200 fan) gas mark 7
2.  Put  2 tbsp of olive oil in the tray and pop in the oven to heat up.
3. Chop the onion and the pepper into large chunks.
4. Chop the potatoes (skin on) into large chunks (not as large as you would use for roast potatoes usually) and chop the parsnips into roughly 4 cm chunks.
5. Crush the garlic cloves.
6. Take the tray out and put all the veg and the garlic into the oil (it should sizzle) and give it a good stir to coat it all.
7. Sprinkle the herbs over the top.
8. Cook the veg for 5 minutes.
9. Take the tray out and lay the sausages on top of the veg.
10. Pop it back in for 25-30 minutes or until the sausages are browned and cooked through and the veg is crispy.
11. Serve with gravy and/or green veg.

NOTES:

Sausage can be swapped out for chicken, but you would need to let the veg cook for a good 15-20 minutes before you add the chicken, so it doesn't dry out. Leave the skin on the potatoes- more fibre. Use simple pork sausage or Cumberland. For gravy, use instant or search my site for my onion gravy recipe.
