Hello, fall! This meal is the definition of cozy comfort food, and you’ll never believe just how easy and nourishing it really is.
We’re fully into the swing of the school routine, soccer practices (x3), and all of the daily chaos that comes along with the season. As a result, my time is limited and I’m always looking for new ways to mix up the dinnertime hustle with as little effort as possible!
HOW TO BAKE CHICKEN SAUSAGE, APPLES AND SWEET POTATOES:
Let’s start with the basic ingredients: sweet potatoes, apples, an onion, smoked chicken sausage, Savory Herb with Garlic dry seasoning, and olive oil.
Combine everything in your dish (or in a separate bowl):
Then whisk together the “sauce” by combining the olive oil with the dry seasoning mix.
Toss the sauce with the rest of the ingredients:
and transfer to the baking dish. See? Just dump-and-bake!
You’ll cover the dish with foil and bake it in a 400-degree oven for about 35 minutes. The end result is this rich, flavorful supper that’s full of fresh produce and smoked sausage — all coated in a delicious garlic and herb sauce.
The dump-and-bake sweet potatoes are truly Autumn on a plate, and I can’t wait for you to try it yourself! You’re going to love this one…

Recipe Notes

You can use any fully-cooked sausage, so pick the brand, flavor and ingredients that you love! Kielbasa would work well, too!

I love these favors together! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, Karly! The best! 🙂
I will admit to being a bit worried about the flavor combos of this recipe, but both hubby and I thought it was terrific. I made the full recipe separated in two baking dishes. I will check out how the apples and sweet potatoes fare until Monday or Tuesday when I plan a do-over. If that doesn’t work out so well, it will be easy enough to combine half the sausage/onion/dry soup/olive oil mixture with separate sweet potato and apple mix-ins.
Thanks for what looks to be a “keeper” recipe
I’m so glad that you both enjoyed it, Wanda! Thanks for letting me know! 🙂
