Ingredients
1 pound fresh sausage, such as sweet or hot Italian, or bratwurst
1 pound brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved lengthwise
1 pound small potatoes, like baby Yukon gold or red potatoes, halved
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
Kosher salt and black pepper
4 teaspoons honey
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon yellow mustard seeds (optional)
¼ cup almonds or walnuts, chopped (optional)
Preparation
- Step 1
Heat oven to 450 degrees, and place a sheet pan in the oven. Score the sausages in a few places on both sides, making sure not to cut all the way through. Transfer to a large bowl with the brussels sprouts, potatoes and 2 tablespoons olive oil, and stir until coated. (If the mixture seems dry, add a little more oil.) Season with salt and pepper.
- Step 2
Spread the mixture in an even layer on the heated baking sheet, and arrange the vegetables cut-sides down. Roast 15 minutes, until the brussels sprouts and potatoes start to soften. (The sausages will not be cooked through yet.)
- Step 3
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together the honey, mustard and mustard seeds, if using.
- Step 4
Drizzle the honey mustard over the sausages and vegetables, and toss or shake to coat. Flip the sausages. Sprinkle with almonds, if using. Roast until the sausages are cooked through and the vegetables are golden and tender, another 10 minutes or so. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

As a great UK fan of NYT cooking for more years than I can mention, can I thank you all for your kindness and advice? Yes, I have had to buy an set of American cups, I keep forgetting what Cilantro is, God knows what Kosher salt is , I cannot source any of the Deep South ingredients, you have no idea what Spotted Dick is and the joy of a chip butty or fish and chips with curry sauce, "……… BUT NYT recipes have become everyday staples in our house and the comments are the most important. Xx
To me, the changes people make to the recipe is the best part. Thank you for sharing.
Used cubed sweet potatoes (on hand), more mustard (mix of Dijon and grainy), and less honey (our preference). Yes, yes, I know, "you didn't make this", but honestly, we really enjoyed it. Super easy, great balance of flavors, and a big sheet of heavy duty foil meant almost no clean up.
I've made this a number of times. I double the sauce/marinade (I add italian seasonings and a little balsamic vinegar) and marinate 5 whole Italian sausages, sliced red and yellow bell peppers, A LOT of fresh mushrooms (any kind), and large pieces of red onion in the marinade. Sometimes I used cubed sweet potatoes. You can really use anything you like! Bake for 20" @ 400, turn the sausages and vegetables and bake another 20". Delicious...and makes great leftovers.
The recipe now calls for 450 degrees. At 425, which is what my copy says, and about 20 minutes in of the 30-minute instruction, the scallions and sauerkraut burned to a crisp. I do not eat charred food as it may be cancer causing.
We had to make some subs based on local inventory - broccoli florets for b. sprouts (yum!), and 1/2 in. thick sliced rounds of potatoes instead of babies (perfectly cooked). I have 2 teenagers so I did 2 trays (hardly any extra work). The whole thing really took 30 mins from start to finish, and we had maybe a single helping left over, which my hubs ate for breakfast. This recipe is a winner on all counts.
