This hearty pan of sticky, honey mustard-glazed sausages, brussels sprouts and potatoes only adds to the argument that sheet-pan dinners make the best weeknight meals. As the sausages roast, they yield a delicious fat that coats and seasons the caramelized vegetables. Use any fresh sausage you like, as long as it pairs well with the honey mustard. Feel free to substitute or add other vegetables like squash, cherry tomatoes, broccoli, carrots or cabbage. The mustard seeds and nuts provide texture and crunch, but leave them out if you prefer.

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat oven to 450 degrees, and place a sheet pan in the oven. Score the sausages in a few places on both sides, making sure not to cut all the way through. Transfer to a large bowl with the brussels sprouts, potatoes and 2 tablespoons olive oil, and stir until coated. (If the mixture seems dry, add a little more oil.) Season with salt and pepper.

  2. Step 2

    Spread the mixture in an even layer on the heated baking sheet, and arrange the vegetables cut-sides down. Roast 15 minutes, until the brussels sprouts and potatoes start to soften. (The sausages will not be cooked through yet.)

  3. Step 3

    Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together the honey, mustard and mustard seeds, if using.

  4. Step 4

    Drizzle the honey mustard over the sausages and vegetables, and toss or shake to coat. Flip the sausages. Sprinkle with almonds, if using. Roast until the sausages are cooked through and the vegetables are golden and tender, another 10 minutes or so. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Cooking Notes

To me, the changes people make to the recipe is the best part. Thank you for sharing.

Used cubed sweet potatoes (on hand), more mustard (mix of Dijon and grainy), and less honey (our preference). Yes, yes, I know, "you didn't make this", but honestly, we really enjoyed it. Super easy, great balance of flavors, and a big sheet of heavy duty foil meant almost no clean up.

Easy and satisfying weeknight dinner. Added carrots for color. I suggest doubling the honey mustard to coat fully.

Oh my gosh. Husband is not a fan of sausages (i know!) or mustard but loves brussels sprouts...yet i forged ahead. this was his response: i think this is one of the best things you’ve ever made. Mic drop.

This was bloody lovely! I added 6oz of broxolli slaw mix with carrot and red cabbage (I would totally use the full 12oz bag next time) and I used chicken sausage from Costco that are whole30 compliant (I know honey isn't but it's all part of free food choices) I let them cook a little longer so the slaw got charred and sticky and the Brussels were lovely and dark. I'll be making this again for sure. Quick easy and delicious.

Made it with Beyond Meat brats cut into coins. The whole thing was delicious and cooked though evenly.

Made as written. It was delicious. Next time, I will definitely track down bratwurst (used sweet Italian sausage) use a lot more mustard (probably a combination of Dijon and grainy mustard) and double the vegetables. My 3 comments are: potatoes definitely benefitted from being cut smaller to be a little smaller than the Brussels sprouts as they take longer to cook; wouldn’t use mustard seeds again as they didn’t soften up in the 15 min. cooking; cooking time was more like 35 even with convection

Sheet pans are fine, I have five or so, but they aren't the greatest invention since the wheel, as the enthusiasm for them seems to suggest. Cooking most, or all, of a meal in one pan makes sense for numerous reasons, but for this recipe, as well as so many others, a heavy bottomed pan is better, and most sheet pans aren't that sturdy. A skillet would work well. A heavy bottomed large skillet -14" is a great size, and is more versatile than a sheet pan.

Butternut squash works well with this.

This was really good but I made some tweaks. Instead of whole links, I cut the sausage into coins. I went a little crazy with the sauce and made a lot of it and added some lemon juice. So spicy, sweet, and hearty!

Made this for supper tonight. Nice and quick. If you use baby red potatoes, I'd cut them into quarters instead of halves unless you like your potatoes quite firm. I made an extra half serving of the honey mustard for dunking and it was a choice I do not regret.

Reduced the oil by about half but it came out fine. Made it twice, once with precooked chicken-maple sausage, once with raw mild Italian chicken sausage. Put the precooked sausage in after the 1st 15 minutes, cooked whole recipe 10 more minutes, turned off oven and rested pan in oven for about 5 minutes while guests gathered at the table--this version turned out delicious and we didn't miss the extra oil.

Has anyone tried this with a vegetarian sausage such as Beyond Meat?

Delicious and easy. I added a chopped red onion and chopped granny smith apples instead of the honey.

Fantastic result, but would double the honey mustard next time. Used walnuts which added a bit of crunch, nice addition. Next time I’ll deglaze the sheet pan, and use the sweet and savory bits as extra sauce. Delicious!

Giant hit with my sister and her family after they came home from a trip to Vegas. After all the “big eating” of expensive, not-so-great food, they were all in need of a home cooked meal with loads of veggies. Added broccoli to the sheet pan party and doubled the sauce as suggested by all of you lovely reviewers! I love the simplicity of this recipe.

This was fantastic and so easy. Used Cajun and chicken apple sausages. Quartered them on an angle. You can’t make too much honey mustard. It caramelizes so nicely on everything. I added lemon juice to mine. If you like nuts don’t shy away from adding them. They get roasty and play well with the other flavors. Slivered almonds were perfect. This will be in our meal rotation!

Easy and delicious! Made with chicken apple sausage.

This meal was just delicious and so easy. I quirted the sausage cut at an angle- perfect. If I were to improve on it at all, it could have used a little more of the honey mustard sauce.

Simple tasty recipe. I pretty much followed the recipe with a few changes. As others suggested, I made much more mustard sauce and increased the ratio of mustard to honey. I used kale rather than brussel sprouts, removing the kale as it crisped up. And I added red pepper flakes and some herbs to the veggies when I tossed them in evoo, S and P. We enjoyed this dinner a lot!

Made this with brats and used double the mustard-honey sauce. Still didn't like it. Might be more interesting with spicy or sweet Italian sausage, but it received such a negative reaction from the family, that I won't do it again.

I didn’t love this one. I made it as is, and I thought it was too sweet and the flavour lacked dimension. Maybe a bit too basic? I’m a tray bake fan and I didn’t think this was one of the better ones. Perhaps served worth a crisp butter leaf salad would balance the flavour a bit.

Halted potatoes and added corn and garlic cloves whole

Super easy, very tasty, very popular around the table. Might make more volume of sauce next time, maybe a little heavier on the mustard as well, but that's me.

This was so simple and turned out delicious, with loads of flavor. I added carrots which gave it another layer of sweetness and used hot honey for the dijon and honey drizzle. Chopped almonds were a great touch. I'll definitely make it again.

Used what I had on hand; wonderful, locally made sausages, baby red potatoes, red onions, cabbage, and rainbow carrots. My family loves it!

I would rate this 4.5 stars if I could, but I'll round up. Really easy to put together. I got a deal on shaved brussel sprouts so I used those and added them with the sauce after cooking the sausage and potatoes for 15 min. In the future I'd add them after 10 min then add the sauce 5 min later for the remaining time. I'd also add some smoked paprika or use hot italian sausage in the future to give it a bit of kick, as I tend to like spicy things. Really great just as is though!

Soooo good! Did not disappoint. I added an onion which caramelized nicely with the honey mustard. I agree on comments recommending doubling the sauce.

Doubled the sauce. Used two sheet pans, foil lined and added a light olive oil layer to prevent sticking. Added red onion. Used walnuts. Small potatoes cut into eighth wedges. Cut the fresh bratwurst into thirds to feel more in line with the rest. Fam loved it!

I prepared the recipe as written and while I enjoyed it, I didn’t think the potatoes cooked thru as well as I would have liked. I will cut them smaller next time, or I might parboil the potatoes whilst preparing the Brussels sprouts. I will also add red onion wedges for flavour
