Ingredients

For the Bowls

1 large sweet potato (or 2 small sweet potatoes), scrubbed and cut into very thin ¼-inch rounds
2 medium sweet, crisp apples (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji), cored and sliced into 8-10 pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil (or avocado oil)
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
1 pound precooked chicken sausage

For the Sauce

1 clove garlic, minced or finely grated
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh sage, finely chopped (optional, or other fresh herb of choice)

To Add at the End

4 ounces baby spinach (or arugula)

Instructions

Prep the Potatoes and Apples: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Place the sweet potato rounds and apple slices on two baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
Drizzle with 2 tablespoons oil and ¼ teaspoon salt, tossing to coat. Spread the potatoes and apple into an even layer, being careful not to crowd the pans.
Roast the Potatoes, Apples, and Sausage: Roast for 20 minutes, then remove from the oven and flip the apples and sweet potatoes.
Add the sausage to the pan, place back in the oven and roast for an additional 10 minutes.
Remove from the oven, flip the sausages, and roast for an additional 10 minutes, or until everything is cooked through and golden (about 40 minutes total for the apples and sweet potato, 20 minutes total for the sausage).
Remove from the oven, allow to cool slightly, then slice the sausage.
Make the Sauce: Meanwhile make the sauce by whisking the garlic, vinegar, and salt in a small bowl. Drizzle in the olive oil, whisking until combined, then stir in the sage.
Assemble the Bowls: Serve the bowls by dividing the spinach or arugula between 4 bowls. Top each with the roasted sweet potatoes, apples, and sausage. Drizzle with the sauce and serve.

Notes

Up the Protein: If I want to up the protein on this one, I'll double the amount of sausage (so 2 pounds) and keep the remaining ingredients the same.
