Cooking instructions

1. Heat the oven to 425°F. Line a large rimmed sheet pan with parchment or lightly oil it. (about 5 min) — 425°F
2. Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Cut the red onion into 1-inch wedges. Toss the sweet potatoes and onion with the olive oil, salt, and pepper on the sheet pan. Roast for 20 minutes. (about 20 min) — 425°F

4. Add the sausage and apples to the sheet pan. Toss everything with half of the mustard-maple glaze, then spread into an even layer. (about 2 min) — 425°F
5. Roast for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring once, until the sweet potatoes are tender, the apples are lightly browned, and the sausage reaches 165°F in the center. (about 15 min) — 425°F
6. Drizzle with the remaining glaze and serve hot. (about 1 min) — Room temperature
