Ranch Flavored Brussel Sprouts And Chicken Sausage Recipes

SHEET-PAN SAUSAGES AND BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH HONEY MUSTARD

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450 degrees, and place a sheet pan in the oven. Score the sausages in a few places on both sides, making sure not to cut all the way through. Transfer to a large bowl with the brussels sprouts, potatoes and 2 tablespoons olive oil, and stir until coated. (If the mixture seems dry, add a little more oil.) Season with salt and pepper.
• Spread the mixture in an even layer on the heated baking sheet, and arrange the vegetables cut-sides down. Roast 15 minutes, until the brussels sprouts and potatoes start to soften. (The sausages will not be cooked through yet.)
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together the honey, mustard and mustard seeds, if using.
• Drizzle the honey mustard over the sausages and vegetables, and toss or shake to coat. Flip the sausages. Sprinkle with almonds, if using. Roast until the sausages are cooked through and the vegetables are golden and tender, another 10 minutes or so. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

RANCH-BAKED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH BACON, BRUSSELS SPROUTS, AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place chicken thighs in a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Toss potatoes, Brussels sprouts, and garlic together with olive oil in a bowl until vegetables are lightly coated. Add vegetables around and between chicken thighs in the baking dish. Season with salt, pepper, and thyme. Evenly pour the entire packet of ranch seasoning over chicken and vegetables. Sprinkle chopped bacon on top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 30 to 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Place the baking dish under the broiler and cook until chicken skin becomes golden brown and a bit crisp, 2 to 3 minutes

CHICKEN SAUSAGES ROASTED WITH POTATOES AND BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F. Arrange sausages in single layer at 1 end of large roasting pan. Arrange potatoes at other end of pan. Drizzle 3 tablespoons oil over sausages and potatoes; turn to coat. Sprinkle potatoes with salt and pepper. Roast until sausages are brown and potatoes are beginning to soften, stirring occasionally, about 35 minutes. Transfer sausages to plate and reserve.
• Add brussels sprouts, bell peppers and remaining 1 tablespoon oil to pan; toss to blend. Roast until vegetables are tender and brown around edges, stirring occasionally, about 35 minutes longer. Return sausages to pan; roast until heated through, about 15 minutes. Transfer sausages and vegetables to platter. Sprinkle with thyme and lemon peel; season with salt and pepper and serve.

SHEET PAN ROASTED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Clean and trim fat from chicken. Pat dry with paper towels. Place in a large bowl with Brussels sprouts, wine, sausage, shallots, lemon slices, garlic, oil, rosemary, fennel seeds, thyme, sage, salt, and pepper. Toss together with your hands and allow to marinate at room temperature, tossing occasionally, for at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). Spray a baking pan with nonstick spray.
• Pour chicken and vegetable mixture onto the prepared baking pan. Arrange thighs, skin-side up, over mixture.
• Roast in the preheated oven until thighs are browned, crispy, and no longer pink in the centers, 25 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
