This savory chicken sausage, sweet potato, Brussels sprout combination is dotted with festive pomegranate arils. It is as beautiful and hearty as it is nutritious.
To get started, slice some chicken sausages (right now, I really like the Chicken Apple Smoked Sausages–this is the Sam’s Club brand and I think they’re just as good as the name brand),
chop a pound of Brussels sprouts in half, and peel and cut a sweet potato into 3/4″ chunks and place them on a lined baking sheet.
You’re also going to need some lemon olive oil (you can buy it in our shop or extra-virgin olive oil with the zest of 1 small lemon), garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Toss the sausage, sprouts, and sweet potato on the baking sheet and set aside. Whisk together the olive oil (and lemon zest, if using), garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper
and drizzle over the sausage/sprouts/sweet potato mixture.
Toss to combine. Place the sheet in the oven and bake for 15 minutes, then use a spatula to flip the sausage mixture and bake for another 10-15 minutes. Sprinkle with pomegranate seeds and, if desired, season with additional salt and pepper and serve immediately.
