Ingredients

1 red onion ($0.44)

1 lb. sweet potato ($1.07)

2 apples ($0.76)

8 oz. sweet Italian sausage ($1.40)

2 Tbsp olive oil ($0.32)

1 tsp dried basil ($0.10)

1 tsp rubbed sage ($0.10)

1 tsp dried rosemary ($0.10)

1/2 tsp salt ($0.02)

1/4 tsp black pepper (freshly cracked, $0.02)

1 Tbsp parsley (fresh, chopped (optional) $0.11)

Instructions

1 Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Core and dice the apples into 1-inch pieces. Peel and dice the sweet potato and red onion into 1-inch pieces.

2 Place the chopped apples, onions, sweet potatoes, and Italian sausage links on a large 9x13-inch baking sheet. Drizzle the olive oil over top, then add the basil, sage, rosemary, salt, and freshly cracked pepper. Toss until everything is well coated in oil and herbs.

3 Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and roast for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, remove the baking sheet and use tongs to transfer the sausage to a cutting board. Slice the sausage into medallions, then add them back to the baking sheet. Return the baking sheet to the oven.

4 Roast the autumn medley for another 20 minutes, or until it reaches your desired level of browning. Top with chopped parsley for garnish after roasting, then serve.
