Oven Baked Sausages with Potatoes, Vegetable AND Gravy!
Description
Oven Baked Sausages with Potatoes, Vegetables, and Gravy involves tossing halved baby potatoes, carrots, onion wedges, minced garlic, olive oil, dried thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper, then layering sausages on top. The mixture is baked at 200°C until vegetables are tender and sausages browned.
Meanwhile, gravy is prepared in the same bowl by whisking melted butter with flour, then gradually adding beef broth to form a smooth sauce. This gravy is poured along the pan's edge during baking to thicken and absorb flavors without disturbing the sausages and vegetables.
The meal delivers contrasting textures: crisped sausage skins, roasted soft vegetables with a touch of garlic and herbs, and a velvety gravy that ties the elements together. Garnishing with fresh thyme adds a pleasant aroma.
For gravy consistency, cooking time and oven heating can affect thickening. If too thin, removing solids and reducing it further helps; if too thick, adding hot water loosens it. Using beef broth deepens gravy color and flavor but chicken broth can also be used. Potatoes sized about golf balls cook evenly; larger ones should be halved or quartered.
Use potatoes about golf ball size, or halve/quarter larger potatoes evenly.Choose sausages of your preference; thick pork sausages work well here.Beef broth gives a richer, darker gravy but chicken broth can be used with a lighter color.Adjust gravy thickness by reducing it further in the oven or adding hot water as needed.
Ingredients
Vegetables
- 700g / 1.4 lb baby potato halved
- 3 carrot peeled and cut into 2"/5cm pieces
- 2 red onions , each cut into 8 wedges
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp thyme dried
- 1 tsp oregano dried
- salt
- black pepper
Sausages
- 8 - 10 sausages Note 2, 500-700g / 1-1.4lb
- cooking spray optional
Gravy
- 2 tbsp / 30g butter melted, unsalted
- 2 1/2 tbsp flour (plain / all purpose)
- 2 cups / 500 ml beef broth Note 3, or chicken broth
- thyme for garnish (optional, fresh
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200C/390F (standard) or 180C/350F (fan / convection).
- Place Vegetable ingredients in a large bowl. Toss well to coat.
- Add sausages and toss briefly.
- Transfer into roasting pan. Pan should be of a size so the vegetables are stacked about 2 deep - see photos and video. Rearrange sausages so they are on top.
Gravy
- In the same bowl used for the vegetables, add butter and flour. Whisk.
- Add a bit of beef broth and whisk, then whisk in remaining broth. (Don't worry if you end up with some floating butter bits)
- Pour down the side of the pan (don't pour over the sausages or veggies).
- Optional: Spray sausages with oil - browns slightly better (especially lean sausages).
Baking
- Bake 25 minutes. Turn sausages. Spray again with oil (optional) then bake for a further 25 minutes or until sausages are browned and potatoes are soft.
- Serve Sausages and Vegetables with Gravy on top, garnished with fresh thyme leaves if desired. (See notes for Gravy thickness adjustment)
Notes
- Potatoes around golf ball size cook evenly; cut larger potatoes into similar-sized pieces for even roasting.
- Any sausage style works; thick pork sausages provide good flavor and texture.
- Beef broth creates richer and darker gravy; chicken broth produces lighter color but is fine as a substitute.
- If gravy is too thin, remove solids and reduce further in the oven; if too thick, add hot water gradually to adjust.
