Saucisses et patates douces au four sur une plaque

Ingrédients

• 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

Préparation

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 200C / 180C fan / gas mark 6 / 400F.

2. 2

   Place all the ingredients in a large oven tray or roasting tin.

3. 3

   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).

4. 4

   Place the tray in the oven for 25 minutes.

5. 5

   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).

6. 6

   Return the traybake to the oven for a further 20 minutes, or until everything is done to your liking (45 minutes total cooking time).

7. 7

   Serve just as it is, or with a simple side salad.
