Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 good quality sausages (the nice big ones, I usually use Tesco Finest Traditional Pork)
- 500 g sweet potatoes (roughly one large one) chopped into large chunks (see Note 1)
- 3 red/yellow/orange peppers cut into large chunks
- 2 Red Onions cut into thick wedges
- 8 cloves garlic bashed with skins still on
- 3 sprigs thyme (and/or rosemary)
- salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200C / 180C fan / gas mark 6 / 400F.
- Place all the ingredients in a large oven tray or roasting tin.
- Use your hands (or two large spoons) to turn everything in the oil, so it is well coated. Rearrange everything on the tray with the vegetables in one layer and the sausages on top (see Note 2).
- Place the tray in the oven for 25 minutes.
- After 25 minutes remove the tray from the oven, remove the sausages onto a plate and turn the vegetables. Replace the sausages on top with the least cooked side facing upwards (see Note 3).
- Return the traybake to the oven for a further 20 minutes, or until everything is done to your liking (45 minutes total cooking time).
- Serve just as it is, or with a simple side salad.

Notes
- I prefer to leave the skins on as there is a lot of goodness in the skins (and let’s face it, peeling sweet potatoes is a pain!), but feel free to peel the sweet potatoes if that’s what you prefer.
- It’s really important the ingredients are well spread out in the tray. If you don’t own a large baking tray, use two smaller ones.
- You can omit this step if you are really pressed for time, but everything cooks more evenly if you take the time to turn everything midway through cooking.
- To reheat, place leftovers in an ovenproof dish, in an oven preheated to 180C (160C fan/ gas mark 4 / 350F). Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the sausages are piping hot all the way through.
- Not suitable for freezing (except the cooked sausages on their own ARE suitable for freezing).
