Why We Love Sheet Pan Sausage and Veggies
Everything cooks on one pan, which means fewer dishes and less stress. Whether you’re trying to get a healthy dinner on the table fast or use up what’s in your fridge, this meal is a go-to favorite. You can even prep the ingredients ahead of time, so it’s ready to toss in the oven when you are.
Another reason this dish is a staple in my kitchen is how customizable it is. Swap in sweet potatoes, zucchini, or brussel sprouts based on what you have. And if you’re not into pork sausage, try it with chicken sausage, kielbasa, or even a spicy Italian version. No matter what, you’ll still end up with a flavorful and filling sheet pan sausage and veggies dinner.
Ingredients you’ll need
To get started making this recipe, you’ll first want to gather all your ingredients.
Here is what you’ll need:
1 pound
smoked sausage (any kind), sliced
2 cups
baby red potatoes
1
1 bell pepper, sliced (I use a yellow, orange, and red bell pepper when I make this)
1
zucchini, sliced
1
red onion, cut into chunks (you could also use a sweet or Vidalia onion)
1 bunch
asparagus (washed, dried and cut)
2 tbs
olive oil
1 tsp
garlic powder
1/2 tsp
smoked paprika
1/2 tsp
Italian seasoning
to taste
salt & pepper
Use pre-cut veggies to save time, or toss in whatever’s hanging out in your fridge—this recipe is super forgiving!
Step by Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F & line a large sheet pan with parchment or foil.
Step 2: Wash, prep, and cut the sausage and vegetables into bite-sized pieces.
Step 3: Toss sausage and veggies with olive oil and seasonings directly on the pan.
Step 4: Spread everything into an even layer.
Step 5: Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until veggies are tender and lightly charred.
Serve as-is, or over rice, quinoa, or mashed potatoes.
Make It Your Own
You can easily adjust the seasoning to fit your tastes. A sprinkle of Italian seasoning adds a classic touch, while garlic powder, smoked paprika, or even a pinch of crushed red pepper can take it in a bold new direction. Drizzling a little balsamic glaze or fresh lemon juice before serving adds brightness and balance to the rich sausage and roasted vegetables.
Sheet pan sausage and veggies is the ultimate busy night dinner. It’s quick, endlessly customizable, and cleanup is basically nonexistent. Try it with different sausage types or whatever vegetables are in season—this is one of those recipes that works year-round and never gets old.
