Ingredients Needed:

1 tbsp Olive oil
1 tbsp Dried thyme

100 g Marmalade

How To Make Sausage Tray Bake Recipe?

Preheat the oven: Set to 200°C.
Prepare the tray: Place the onions, carrots, leeks, potatoes, and sausages on a large baking tray.
Season everything: Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with thyme, and season with salt and pepper. Toss well to coat evenly.
Bake until golden: Roast for 45 minutes until the sausages and vegetables start to brown.
Glaze with marmalade: Flip the sausages, spoon over the marmalade, and bake for 15 more minutes until caramelized and glossy.

Recipe Tips:

Use thick sausages for better texture. Thin sausages can dry out quickly, so choose thick, high-quality pork sausages for a juicy and flavorful result.
Cut vegetables into even sizes. This helps them cook at the same rate, so nothing ends up undercooked or too soft.
Don’t overcrowd the tray. Spread everything out in a single layer so the vegetables and sausages roast properly instead of steaming.
Flip the sausages for even cooking. Turning them halfway ensures they brown on all sides and absorb the flavors better.
Add marmalade at the right time. If added too early, it can burn. Brushing it on in the last 15 minutes gives a perfect sticky glaze.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

Refrigerate: First, let the leftover sausage tray bake cool to room temperature. Then, transfer it to an airtight container and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Freeze: Once cooled, place the tray bake in a freezer-safe container or wrap it tightly in foil. Freeze for up to 2 months.
Reheat: Preheat the air fryer to 180°C. Place the sausages and vegetables in a single layer and heat for 5-7 minutes until warmed through and slightly crispy.
