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 of Fennel, sliced
  • Few sprigs fresh Rosemary and Thyme

Instructions

  1. Prepare the sauce: In a bowl, combine the Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, finely diced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients form a smooth, sticky honey mustard sauce. Set this aside for later use.
  2. Initial roasting: Place all the main ingredients—pork sausages, halved baby potatoes, quartered onions, sliced fennel, and fresh rosemary and thyme sprigs—into a large baking tray. Pour the prepared honey mustard sauce over everything and toss well to ensure everything is evenly coated. Arrange the ingredients evenly, then place the tray in a preheated oven at 190°C (375°F) for 15 minutes, allowing the sausages to start browning.
  3. Midway toss and roast: Remove the tray from the oven after 15 minutes. Toss the ingredients again thoroughly to redistribute the sticky sauce and ensure maximum flavor coverage. Return the baking tray to the oven and roast for an additional 20 minutes, allowing the sausages to cook through and the veggies to begin softening.
  4. Add apples and final roasting: After the 20 minutes, remove the tray once more, toss the ingredients to mix, then nestle the apple wedges amongst the other ingredients in the tray. Place the tray back into the oven for a final 15 minutes, or until the sausages are nicely browned, the sauce has become luscious and sticky, and the apple wedges have softened slightly. Avoid increasing the oven temperature to prevent the honey from burning.
  5. Serve: Once cooked, remove from the oven and plate up immediately. Enjoy this beautifully sticky, sweet, and savory sausage tray bake as a comforting and hearty meal perfect for any day of the week.

Notes

  • This tray bake is ideal for a delicious and effortless dinner that combines sweet and savory flavors in one pan.
  • Slicing the apples and fennel as described ensures they cook evenly and meld perfectly with the sticky honey mustard sauce.
  • Keep the oven temperature consistent to avoid burning the honey in the sauce.
  • Feel free to use different herbs according to what you have on hand; sage or parsley could also complement this dish well.
