# What You’ll Need:

→ Produce

01 - 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into ½-inch cubes
02 - 2 medium Honeycrisp apples, peeled and diced into ½-inch cubes
03 - 1 large yellow onion, sliced into rounds

→ Meat

04 - 340 g gluten-free chicken & apple sausages, sliced into ½-inch rounds

→ Oils & Condiments

05 - 2 Tbsp olive oil
06 - 1½ Tbsp pure maple syrup
07 - 2 tsp gluten-free Dijon mustard

→ Spices

08 - ½ tsp ground cinnamon
09 - ½ tsp fennel seeds, lightly crushed
10 - ¼ tsp garlic powder
11 - ¼ tsp dried thyme
12 - ¾ tsp kosher salt
13 - ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Peel and dice sweet potatoes and apples into ½-inch cubes. Slice onion and sausage into uniform rounds for even cooking.
02 - Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a large rimmed baking sheet or shallow roasting pan with olive oil.
03 - Whisk together olive oil, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, ground cinnamon, crushed fennel seeds, garlic powder, dried thyme, kosher salt, and black pepper in a small bowl until fully combined.
04 - In a large mixing bowl, add sweet potatoes, apples, onion, and sausage. Drizzle with the glaze and toss thoroughly to coat evenly.
05 - Spread the coated ingredients in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 30 to 35 minutes, turning once halfway through, until sweet potatoes are fork-tender and caramelized at the edges.
06 - Adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed. Serve hot as a main dish or hearty side.

# Handy Tips:

01 - For maximum caramelization, avoid overcrowding the pan; ingredients should lie in a single layer.
02 - Toast fennel seeds briefly before crushing to enhance aroma.
03 - For deeper flavor, sear sausage slices in a hot skillet prior to roasting.
04 - A splash of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar added just before serving brightens flavors.
