Recipe Notes
TIME SAVING NOTES
You can prep most of the dish in the morning or the night prior. Simply peel and cut all the veg and add the sausages and vegetables to the pan. Cover and refrigerate. Note – add the oil, apple and seasoning when you are ready to cook.
Also sometimes you find bags of pre-prepared roasting vegetables in the vegetable section. Whilst not always the most cost effective they really do save on time so this may be a good option for some busy households.
BUDGET NOTES
Swap out the vegetables for those that are at a good price. You can use pumpkin, onions, Jerusalem artichoke or parsnips instead, or as well as, the selection I have suggested.
PROTEIN CHANGES
You can use whatever sausages you like, including vegetarian sausages. The one thing to note is that the cook times are based on a thick uncooked sausage so if using thin, or precooked sausages, you may need to remove them from the oven before the vegetables.
NOTES
We usually serve the tray bake with a bowl of green peas or steamed broccoli
You can swap the apples for pears depending on what is in season.
