Ingredients
1 pound fresh sausage, such as sweet or hot Italian, or bratwurst
1 pound brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved lengthwise
1 pound small potatoes, like baby Yukon gold or red potatoes, halved
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
Kosher salt and black pepper
4 teaspoons honey
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon yellow mustard seeds (optional)
¼ cup almonds or walnuts, chopped (optional)
Preparation
- 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.
- 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.)
- Step 3
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together the honey, mustard and mustard seeds, if using.
- 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.

As a great UK fan of NYT cooking for more years than I can mention, can I thank you all for your kindness and advice? Yes, I have had to buy an set of American cups, I keep forgetting what Cilantro is, God knows what Kosher salt is , I cannot source any of the Deep South ingredients, you have no idea what Spotted Dick is and the joy of a chip butty or fish and chips with curry sauce, "……… BUT NYT recipes have become everyday staples in our house and the comments are the most important. Xx
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.
I would increase the amount of Brussels and potatoes. Felt a little lacking beside the sausage
After making this several times I’ve come up with a few modifications along the way. I’ve never had much success getting the potatoes right to my taste with this recipe and use gnocchi instead which takes on flavor and get crispy and pillowy. Broccoli works well when you can’t find decent sprouts. I use the convection setting on my oven to prevent sogginess. And besides doubling the honey mustard, I also add balsamic vinegar to give the sauce some needed acid.
Made this for the third or fourth time this evening..cut the sausage 1/2”pieces. Always needs about 5 or 6 times the mustard and honey..always enjoyed.
