Ingredients
Scale
Sauce
- 1/4 cup (60g) Dijon Mustard
- 1/4 cup (60g) Honey
- 2.5 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
- 2 cloves Garlic, very finely diced
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
Main Ingredients
- 12 Pork Sausages
- 1.6 lb (750g) Baby Potatoes, halved
- 4 small White Onions, quartered
- 2 Apples, sliced into thick wedges
- 1 bulb Fennel, sliced
- Few sprigs fresh Rosemary and Thyme
Instructions
- Prepare the sauce: In a bowl, mix together the Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, finely diced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set this sticky and flavorful sauce aside.
- Combine ingredients: Arrange the pork sausages, halved baby potatoes, quartered white onions, sliced fennel, and fresh herbs in a large baking tray. Pour the prepared honey mustard sauce over everything and mix gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
- First bake: Place the baking tray in a preheated oven at 190°C (375°F) and bake for 15 minutes or until the sausages start to brown.
- Mix and continue baking: Remove the tray from the oven and toss all the ingredients to redistribute the sauce. Return the tray to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes to allow the flavors to deepen and the sausages to cook through.
- Add apples and final bake: Take the tray out again, add the thick apple wedges to the mixture, and toss gently. Place back in the oven and bake for another 15 minutes until the sausages are nicely browned, the sauce is sticky, and the apples have softened.
- Serve: Remove from the oven, season with extra salt and pepper if desired, then plate up immediately and enjoy this hearty and delicious tray bake.
Notes
- This recipe makes a comforting and satisfying dinner that’s perfect for busy weeknights when you want a fuss-free meal packed with flavor.
- The apples add a subtle sweetness and soft texture that pairs beautifully with the savory sausages and vegetables.
- Be careful not to increase the oven temperature as the honey in the sauce can burn easily, ensuring the sauce remains sticky and delicious.
- Feel free to swap pork sausages with your preferred variety or substitute with vegetarian sausages to adapt the recipe.
- The fennel adds a lovely aromatic flavor—if you can’t find fennel, you can substitute with celery or omit it.
