Ingredients
  

1 pound chicken or turkey sausage links, sliced into bite-sized pieces

2 cups Brussels sprouts, halved

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed

1 medium red onion, cut into wedges

1 cup carrots, peeled and sliced

1/4 cup pure maple syrup

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

1/4 cup freshly chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it's ready for roasting.

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced sausage, halved Brussels sprouts, cubed sweet potatoes, onion wedges, and sliced carrots. Toss gently to mix the veggies and sausage.

      In a separate small bowl, whisk together the pure maple syrup, olive oil, dried thyme, garlic powder, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper until well combined.

        Drizzle this flavorful maple mixture over the veggie and sausage mix in the large bowl. Using your hands (or a spatula), toss everything together thoroughly, ensuring each piece is well coated in the syrupy goodness.

          Spread the mixture evenly across a large baking sheet, making sure all ingredients are in a single layer to promote even roasting.

            Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through the cooking time. You’ll know it’s done when the sausages are nicely browned and the vegetables are tender when pierced with a fork.

              Once the roasting is complete, remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow it to cool for a couple of minutes before serving.

                Just before serving, sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the dish for a burst of color and freshness that complements the warm autumn flavors.
