Servings:

Chop the red onion. Peel the carrots and cut into ½ -inch thick slices. Peel or scrub the sweet potato; dice it into ¾ -inch cubes. Trim the Brussels sprouts, then slice in half, top to stem. Clean the mushrooms and cut into halves or quarters. Cut the chicken sausages into ¼ -inch to ½ -inch slices.
Heat olive oil in a very large skillet (choose one that has a cover available) over medium high heat. When oil is glistening and hot, add onion, carrots, and sweet potatoes. Cover and cook for 5 minutes, stirring once.
1 tablespoon olive oil, ½ red onion, 2 large carrots, 1 large sweet potato
Add Brussels sprouts, stir, and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, covered.
8 ounces Brussels sprouts
Add mushrooms and sausage; continue to cook uncovered, stirring, until mushrooms are cooked and sausage is browned, about 5 minutes.
8 ounces mushrooms, 12 ounces pre-cooked chicken sausages
Meanwhile, in a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, and Dijon mustard. Taste, and if desired, add more maple syrup if it seems too tangy, or more vinegar if it seems too sweet.
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Pour sauce over vegetables and sausage, stirring to coat all ingredients in the sauce. Taste and season as desired with salt and pepper before serving.

Choosing a pan: You'll need a larger skillet than depicted in the photo. Choose a very large skillet with a lid. If you don't have a big skillet, a Dutch oven works fine, too.
Sausages: This recipe is designed for pre-cooked or smoked sausage, that just need to be heated through. If you have raw sausages like bratwurst or Italian sausage, they should be cooked first. Try baked Italian sausage or air fryer Italian sausage, or simply fry them in the skillet first before starting on the recipe.
Mustard: I love the appearance and taste of a coarse ground or stone ground mustard, but any Dijon mustard will work in this recipe.
Vegetables: Feel free to substitute or add any vegetables you like or happen to have in the refrigerator.
Add apples. If you'd like to add diced apples to the mixture (so yummy!), choose a firm apple such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp. I like to add the apples with the sausages and mushrooms so they stay firm but that's up to you.
