One-pan sticky sausage traybake with meaty pork sausages, colourful sweet potatoes, cherry tomatoes, and tart apples in an oh so moreish balsamic honey mustard sauce. Easy to make and even easier to clean up, making it the perfect mid-week meal.
I love one pan, throw in the oven dinners like this, especially during the colder months of the year. This easy sausage traybake combines all the flavours of my favourite season, Autumn (or Fall if you’re in the US), with sweet potatoes, apples, garlic, and rosemary in a delicious and sticky balsamic honey mustard glaze. I like to use thick and meaty pork sausages in this traybake, as chipolatas would overcook and burn.

🥘 Ingredients
- Pork Sausages – 8 thick and meaty pork sausages.

- Bramley Apple – I love how the tart Bramley apple slices turn sweet and sticky during cooking.

- Cherry Tomatoes – the halved cherry tomatoes break down during roasting and release their sweet juices.

🔪 Instructions
The recipe card with ingredient quantities and detailed instructions can be found at the bottom of the post
One: Preheat the oven to 200°c (180 fan/ 400F/ Gas 6). Place the sausages in a large roasting pan.
Two: Add the sweet potato chunks, sliced apple, garlic in skins, quartered red onion and halved cherry tomatoes.
Three: In a jug mix together the balsamic vinegar, honey and mustard for the sticky glaze and pour over the sausages and vegetables. Mix to coat then tuck in the sprigs of rosemary.
Four: Bake in the oven for 35 minutes. Take out of the oven and give everything a shake. Cover with foil and return to the oven for a further 10 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are tender and cooked. Squeeze the garlic out of their skins before serving!
💭 Top tips
- Use thick meaty pork sausages for this traybake. Chipolatas would overcook and burn.
- Cover the whole tin with foil for the last 10 minutes of cooking to prevent burning.
- Cut the sweet potato into bite-size pieces so they don’t take too long to cook.
- Don’t forget to squeeze out the garlic from their skins before serving.
🍴 Serving suggestions
I usually serve the traybake with a green salad and crusty bread to mop up the sweet sticky juices. If you wanted something more substantial then creamy mashed potatoes or rice would work well.
📖 Variations
- Use halved baby potatoes instead of sweet potatoes.
- Add more vegetables such as sliced red peppers, aubergine, and courgette.
- Make it vegetarian by using vegetarian sausages.
🥡 Storage
Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated. Any leftover sausages can be sliced up stirred through cooked pasta for a quick and easy dinner.

Such a great recipe to have on hand now that the winter is cold. I can no enjoy sausage all year, even when the BBQ is under snow.
