Ingredients
- 400g baby potatoes, halved or quartered if large
- 200g brussels sprouts, halved
- 1 red onion, peeled and cut into 8 wedges
- 150g Medjool dates, pitted and torn in half
- 8 good-quality sausages
- 5g oregano
- 3 thyme sprigs
- 65ml olive oil
- 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp wholegrain mustard
- 2 garlic cloves, grated
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp nigella seeds
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 10g parsley, roughly chopped
Method
- STEP 1
Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Line a large roasting tray with baking paper for easy clean-up. Fill the tray with the potatoes, sprouts, onion and dates. Nestle the sausages on top, then sprinkle over the oregano and thyme.
- STEP 2
Mix the oil, vinegar, maple syrup, mustard, garlic, cinnamon, nigella seeds and cumin in a small jug. Season well with salt and pepper. Pour this over the sausages and vegetables, massaging it all with your hands to coat well.
- STEP 3
Cover with foil and roast for 30 mins. Remove the foil and toss the tray to shuffle everything around, then increase the heat to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Cook for another 25-30 mins, or until sticky, golden and charred at the edges.
- STEP 4
Top with a sprinkling of parsley and serve straight from the tray for everyone to help themselves.
