Sheet Pan Pork Sausage and Apple Hash

This sheet pan pork sausage and apple hash is one of my go-to weeknight dinners when I want something hearty and flavorful without a lot of fuss. The combination of savory sausage, sweet apples, and earthy potatoes is just chef's kiss! I love that it all cooks on one pan, making cleanup a breeze. Even if you're new to cooking, you'll find this recipe incredibly straightforward and rewarding.

Ingredients

• 1 lb pork sausage, bulk or links (casings removed if using links)
• 1.5 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 2 medium apples (like Honeycrisp or Gala), cored and cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1 large red onion, cut into 1-inch wedges
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
2. In a large bowl, combine the cubed potatoes, apple cubes, and red onion wedges.
3. Add the olive oil, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Toss everything together until the vegetables and apples are evenly coated.
4. Spread the potato mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 15 minutes.
5. While the vegetables are roasting, add the pork sausage to the same bowl (no need to wash it). If using bulk sausage, break it into bite-sized pieces. If using links, slice them into 1-inch thick rounds.
6. After 15 minutes, carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Add the sausage pieces to the sheet pan, distributing them evenly among the vegetables and apples.
7. Return the baking sheet to the oven and continue roasting for another 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and browned, the sausage is cooked through, and the apples are softened.
8. Stir everything together gently on the baking sheet before serving.
