- 1 lb smoked sausage links, sliced into 1-inch pieces
- 4 medium Yukon gold potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 firm apples, cored and cut into wedges
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
In a large bowl, toss the potato cubes with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, salt, pepper, and thyme until evenly coated. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Add the sausage slices and apple wedges to the same bowl. Drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and toss to coat. Scatter the sausage and apples around the potatoes on the baking sheet.
Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the potatoes are golden and the sausage is browned at the edges.
Remove the pan from the oven and drizzle the maple syrup evenly over everything. Toss gently on the pan to coat before serving.
Use firm apples like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith so they hold their shape instead of turning mushy. If you want a bit more tang, stir a teaspoon of Dijon mustard into the maple syrup before drizzling. Leftovers reheat well in a skillet over medium heat to bring back some crispness to the potatoes.
