Baked Farmer's Sausage with Potatoes and Carrots

Recipes with Farmer's Sausage

The weeknight dinner of Manitoba working families. Whole farmer's sausage rings on a sheet pan surrounded by quartered potatoes and carrots, baked until everything caramelizes. The sausage fat renders into the vegetables. You put it in the oven, set a timer for 40 minutes, and your meat and sides are done at the same time. Serve with gravy made from the pan drippings.

Ingredients

  • 600g farmer's sausage (2 rings)
  • 6 medium potatoes, quartered
  • 4 carrots, cut into thick chunks
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • Salt and pepper
  • 2 tbsp flour (optional, for gravy)
  • 1 cup broth (optional, for gravy)

Steps

1

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

2

Quarter 6 medium potatoes and cut 4 carrots into thick chunks.

3

Place vegetables on a large sheet pan, drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper.

4

Place 2 rings of farmer's sausage (about 600g) on top of the vegetables.

5

Bake 40 minutes until sausage is browned and potatoes are golden and tender.

6

Optional: make gravy from pan drippings with flour and broth.

7

Slice sausage and serve with the roasted vegetables.

Tips

Position the sausage on top of the vegetables so the rendered fat drips down and bastes everything below. Flip the vegetables halfway through if you want even browning. The pan drippings make a gravy worth the two extra minutes of work.
