We quickly make sheet pan sausage and veggies in just 30 to 40 minutes. It is very delicious and ready for lunch or dinner. Sheet pan sausage and veggies are more popular because there is no cleanup and everything is made in one pan.
Introduction:
At home, this Sheet Pan Sausage and Veggies is our most popular meal. I like to keep all the ingredients at home. Who says healthy meals have to be boring? Looking for a simple yet satisfying meal? Add a good sprinkle of seasoning over everything. Now, can you layer everything onto one sheet pan and let the oven do the rest?
Ingredients:
1 pound smoked sausage:
We can use chicken or beef sausage. You will make what your family likes.
5-6 cups of vegetables:
Bell peppers, sweet potato, Green beans, and cauliflower or broccoli are my favorite vegetables to use in this Sheet Pan Sausage and Veggies. However, you can replace them with any hearty vegetables that roast well.
Olive oil:
We make Sheet Pan Sausage and Veggies here. This dish is all about roasting; a bit of olive oil is essential to coat the sausage and veggies properly.
A large white onion:
cut into quarters and sliced, adds flavor and texture to the dish.
Salt and pepper: In our house, we prefer fine sea salt and also use black pepper; don’t forget that ingredient.
Dried herbs and spices:
To add flavor, I combine garlic powder, smoked paprika, oregano, basil, and cumin, using roughly ½ teaspoon of each. There’s no need to measure exactly; feel free to adjust based on your taste or add more of your favorites.
- 1 teaspoon of granulated onion adds a mild onion flavor to the dish.
- Arugula greens can be added on top as an optional finishing touch.
How to Make Sheet Pan Sausage and Veggies:
Prep the Vegetables:
It really helps to prepare the veggies properly, so they all finish cooking at the same time. Just wash the baby red potatoes; no need to peel then chop them into small pieces. Halve each one, then dice the halves into about 10-12 pieces per potato. Trim and halve the green beans, cut the broccoli into small florets, chop the peppers into 1-inch bits, and slice the sausage into ½-inch thick like coins.
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F, then line a large sheet pan (18×13 inches) with foil paper.
Make the Seasoning Mix:
Put the granulated onion, garlic, smoked paprika, and paprika into a small dish and mix well. Then set the seasoning mixture aside for a while.
Season the Potatoes and Onions:
Now, put the quartered baby potatoes and sliced onions into a large bowl. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil, a bit of salt and pepper, and sprinkle in around ⅓ of your seasoning mix.
Arrange on the Sheet Pan:
Mix it all and spread it in an even layer on your prepared sheet pan.
Season the Peppers and Tomatoes:
In a bowl, combine the sliced bell peppers and cherry tomatoes. Put some olive oil, sprinkle in salt, pepper, and another ⅓ of the seasoning mix, then mix it well. Spread this mixture over the potatoes and onions that are already on the sheet pan.
Add the Sausage:
Arrange the sausage pieces on top of the veggies, brush them with a bit of olive oil, and evenly sprinkle the remaining seasoning over the entire dish.
Bake the Sheet Pan:
Now start baking in the oven for 40 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven, then change the oven setting to “broil.”
Add Shishi to Peppers and Broil:
We add some shishi to peppers to the sheet. In the oven, things should broil for 4 to 5 minutes.
Finish with Olive Oil:
Remove from the oven and broil with a touch more olive oil if desired.
Garnish and Serve:
Serve topped with fresh parmesan cheese or a sprinkle of fresh parsley, as you like.

Notes

Tips for Roasting Perfect Veggies:
Use your favorite sausage:
We can use chicken sausage if you want any other, then you can. Whether it comes in small links or a larger one you slice up, any good sausage will work here.
Loads of colorful veggies:
get creative with your own: My favorite mix is sweet peppers, onions, potatoes, and tomatoes, but feel free to change it up. For veggies that cook faster, like squash, zucchini, mushrooms, or asparagus, add them in during the last 20 minutes so they don’t get too soft.
A drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of seasoning for flavor:
Before roasting, sprinkle a generous amount of olive oil over the ingredients on the sheet pan, then add some salt, pepper, and seasoning for more flavor. I enjoy adding paprika (sweet, smoked, and a bit of hot), along with granulated onion and garlic, but use whatever you want for taste.
