An easy midweek dinner that can also be made as a meal for one. Delicious!

Jamie Oliver adds parsnips to his sausage bake but I prefer to use sweet potatoes.

Okay, readers of this blog will know I'm supposed to be trying to lose some weight (again)!

So, while my recipe isn't exactly calorie-free, as it contains potatoes, I used reduced-fat sausages, which have far fewer calories than regular pork sausages.

This is an easy midweek dinner, all you need is a suitably sized large baking tray (non-stick) that's big enough for the ingredients to be spread evenly. Or, you could use a shallow roasting tin.

If you don't have one, you can use one of the disposable foil trays from the supermarket; just be careful that it doesn't bend when removed from the oven. 

Although they are sold as disposable, you can give them a quick wash and then put them into your recycling waste.

The roasting tray I used was my beloved SCANPAN. At the time of writing, do you know I have now had that pan for 10 years and it's still non-stick! 😃

Which oil to use on non-stick pans?

The secret to looking after any non-stick cookware is the type of oil you use.

Most of those low-calorie oils ruin the coating because they contain something called lecithin.

Lecithin has the unfortunate ability to stick to a nonstick coating and will, over time, ruin your pans and air fryers. 😱

I use Crisp 'n' Dry spray oil in my pans and air fryers. 

Can I make this vegetarian?

Yes, of course! 

For a veggie sausage traybake just use vegetarian sausages, such as Linda McCartney's.

However, you would need to add them to the potatoes and apples, after about 10 minutes, and not from the beginning of the recipe.

Sausage Traybake

Traybakes or sheet pan dinners are some of the easiest and quickest meals you can make. Throw everything onto a tray and bake it!

Prep time: 5 MinCook time: 40 MinTotal time: 45 Min

Ingredients

• olive oil - or vegetable oil
• 4 - 6 reduced-fat sausages
• 1 large onion - peeled and cut into wedges
• 1 large sweet potato - peeled and cut into chunks
• 2 medium-sized potatoes - skin on and cut into chunks
• a few fresh sage leaves
• 2 tablespoons of runny honey
• sea salt and black pepper
• 2 eating apples, I use Braeburn or Pink Lady varieties - cored and cut into wedges
• ½ of a Knorr chicken stock cube - dissolved in just 120 ml hot water
• freshly chopped flat leaf parsley - leaves only chopped

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F or Gas 6

1. Put the sausages, onions, sweet potatoes and potatoes into a baking tray and drizzle with a little oil and the runny honey. Sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper then give it a mix to coat.
2. Add the sausages making sure they are on top of the other ingredients and pop into the oven for 20 minutes (set a timer so you don't forget)!
3. After 20 minutes remove from the oven and spoon off any excess liquid (if any). Add the apples and sage leaves then give it all a quick mix.
4. Now pour in a bit of the stock; just enough to add a bit of moisture (I used 80 ml out of the 120 ml).
5. Bring the sausages to the top again so they brown and put it back into the oven for another 20 minutes.
6. When it's all cooked nicely sprinkle over the chopped parsley and prepare to dive in!

Notes

For a veggie sausage traybake use vegetable stock and vegetarian sausages, such as Linda McCartney's.

However, you would need to add them to the potatoes and apples, after about 10 minutes, and not from the beginning of the recipe.
