A few questions you might have
Do the apples join the pan at the beginning?
Yes, add them with the sausage, sweet potatoes, sprouts, onion and garlic before oiling and seasoning.
Should I slice the sausage first?
Use smoked turkey sausage sliced into the specified rounds before combining it with the other pan ingredients.
When does the parsley go in?
Keep it for the end, scattering it over the finished pan just before serving warm.
How do I know the second roasting stage is done?
Check that the vegetables and apples are tender before taking the pan out for its parsley finish.
Is the red onion finely chopped?
The red onion is diced into chunks for this pan, rather than finely chopped, before roasting.
Any more cooking tips?
For another great option try substituting butternut squash.
