This one-pan, incredibly simple to make, Sheet Pan Sausage And Veggies makes this the absolute perfect meal for any weekday dinner. With virtually no mess, this quick and nutritious recipe is a family favorite.

Sheet Pan Sausage And Veggies

Sheet pan meals have become a favorite of mine because they are so easy and use only one pan. During the week, life can be hectic and it’s great to be able to throw everything together, bake and eat. I like the fact that using some parchment paper on your sheet pan will help with the clean up as well. That’s just a bonus on top of this tremendously easy dish.

For a completely versatile recipe. You can use your favorite veggies or sausage. This is also a fantastic way to get the kids to eat a very healthy and nutritious meal without feeling like they have plain old veggies. Lots of seasonings are used to amp up the flavor, along with some great smoked sausage, and if you choose to add fresh grated parmesan, that adds another layer of greatness.

Why You Should Make This

✅ SO EASY TO MAKE. These sheet pan dinners offer such an easy, one dish meal that’s ideal for those busy weeknight dinners. Simply toss all the veggies, sausage and spices together and bake!

✅ CUSTOMIZABLE. Mixing and matching any kind of vegetable or any type of smoked sausage is what’s so phenomenal about this recipe. You can so easily use the ingredients that your family enjoys, or as a crowd pleasing dish, choose more traditional ones.

✅ ONE PAN. Okay, I know I mentioned it already, but I just can’t say enough about these one pan meals. Roasting vegetables also tastes a lot better in my mind than steaming them too.

Ingredients You’ll Need

• Baby potatoes – A couple of cups of baby potatoes, either red, white or both. Make sure you wash and pat them dry first.
• Broccoli – I used a medium sized head of broccoli and then cut them into florets.
• Peppers – Any color bell peppers can be used that are cut into 1-inch pieces.
• Tomatoes – Only fresh cherry tomatoes will do for this recipe.
• Sausage – Smoked sausage cut into ¼-inch slices is needed. A good smoked sausage like kielbasa is great but any other smoked sausages like chicken sausage, turkey sausage or pork sausage, all could be used.
• Oil – Olive oil works the best.
• Seasonings– I used Italian seasoning, garlic powder and salt and pepper to taste. All these flavors really help to amp up the taste.
• Cheese – Grated parmesan cheese is optional but I do prefer adding it in, because like bacon, Parmesan cheese also makes everything better.

How To Make Sheet Pan Sausage And Veggies

Prep the oven and baking sheet. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Then, line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. If you prefer, you can line your pan with foil wrap.

Toss everything together and season. Place all the veggies excluding the tomatoes, and sausage on the prepared sheet pan. Drizzle the olive oil all over everything. Then add the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, black pepper and toss everything together well. Arrange them so that they are one even layer over the baking sheet, to ensure even cooking.

Bake then add tomatoes. Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and add the tomatoes. Flip or stir all the ingredients around. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for another 20 minutes or until the vegetable are crisp-tender and potatoes are fork tender.

Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve. If desired, sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese as soon as they come out of the oven and serve immediately.

What Other Vegetables Can I Use?

Try cauliflower, squash, zucchini, carrots, asparagus, green beans, brussels sprouts, or onion. Substitute or add any of your favorite veggies, but since root veggies typically take longer to bake, cut them a bit smaller than the other vegetables.

Expert Tips

1. By lining the baking sheet with parchment paper, you’ll get the quickest cleanup possible. Simply discard the parchment paper when done, give the baking sheet a quick rinse and cleanup is all done.
2. Other veggies that are also great in this dish include zucchini, asparagus, green beans, brussels sprouts, onion, sweet potatoes, or carrots.
3. Make sure the vegetables and meat are not be crowded on the pan, otherwise they may take longer to cook. They can also steam instead of roast which is not the outcome we are looking for. Use 2 pans if needed.
4. Feel free to add some of your favorite herbs and spices. If you like some heat, add in red pepper flakes to kick it up a notch, or include some dried oregano, basil, thyme or parsley.
5. Cut all the vegetables roughly the same size, this will ensure they cook at the same time.

Leftovers

Store cooled veggies and sausage in an airtight container and place in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Freezing is not recommended because the texture of the potatoes could become grainy or soggy.
