Time: ~45 minutes

Ingredients

  • 8–10 sausages (pork, beef, chicken, or turkey)
  • 4–5 large onions, peeled and cut into wedges
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C / 400°F.
  2. Prepare onions: Toss onion wedges with olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, and herbs in a large baking tray.
  3. Add sausages: Nestle sausages among the onions. (Optional: prick sausages lightly so fat renders.)
  4. Roast for 20 minutes, then turn sausages and stir onions.
  5. Finish roasting another 20–25 minutes until sausages are deeply browned and onions are soft and caramelized.
  6. Optional final 5 minutes: drizzle a little balsamic or add mustard dots for extra flavor.

Serving Ideas

  • With crusty bread or mashed potatoes
  • Over rice or couscous
  • Inside a sandwich or baguette with mustard
  • Add roasted potatoes or bell peppers to the same tray

Tips

  • For extra caramelization, spread everything in a single layer (don’t overcrowd).
  • If onions brown too fast, cover loosely with foil and uncover for the last 10 minutes.
