Another thing to love about this recipe is that it’s almost infinitely versatile. The one big suggestion that I have is that if you are going to make this with sausage, you should use a super flavorful sausage. I’m talking smoked sausage, kielbasa, Italian sausage, or flavored chicken sausage.
Toss it with some basic seasoning and a selection of veggies, then put on a sheet pan to roast in the oven. Serve over rice, pasta, or quinoa and call it a night.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- Quick and easy to prep. Once you have cut your sausage and veggies, you have pretty much finished all of your work on this dish. From there you just need to bake it, tossing it halfway through. It really couldn’t be easier!
- Perfect for using up leftovers! If you have any veggies to use up, or sausage hanging out in the freezer, this is the recipe for you. You can really switch it up, meaning it’s great for picky eaters and lets you make this recipe over and over again with slightly different variations.
- Works for any size crowd. You can make this for your own family, or easily scale up to make this for a dinner party or to bring to a potluck.
Key Ingredients You Will Need
- Red Potatoes – I love to use red potatoes for making sheet pan dinners because they cook pretty quickly and hold their shape really well. You could also use Yukon gold, fingerling potatoes, or russet potatoes.
- Sausage — go for a sausage that has lots of flavor like smoked sausage, kielbasa, or Italian sausage. Even fully cooked sausage, like flavored chicken sausage, will work great for this recipe.
- Veggies – choose any combination of veggies that will cook at about the same speed. A few of my favorites are zucchini, bell peppers, green beans, onions, cauliflower, and broccoli.
- Seasoning – you will need a combination of Italian seasoning mix, and basic seasoning like garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
How to Make Sheet Pan Sausage and Veggies
- Precook the potatoes. Stir the potatoes with about half of the avocado oil and seasoning.
- Roast. Spread the potatoes onto the baking sheet and cook for about 20 minutes at 425 degrees F, or until the potatoes are golden brown.
- Season the sausage and veggies. In the same mixing bowl, add the sliced sausage, peppers, onions, and zucchini. Drizzle with the remaining avocado oil and sprinkle with the remaining seasoning.
- Roast again. Add the remaining ingredients to the baking dish and continue to cook for another 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork tender with crispy edges. Stir halfway through for even browning.
- Serve. Toss everything together and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve straight from the pan. Enjoy!
Recipe Tips
- Use a large sheet pan: Crowding causes steaming instead of roasting.
- Cut evenly: It keeps everything cooking at the same rate.
- Flip halfway through: Helps everything brown evenly.
- Choose a flavorful sausage: Smoked sausage, kielbasa, or Italian sausage all work great.
- Make clean-up easy: line your baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil before cooking!
Storage Instructions
- Refrigerator: store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Freezer: I don’t recommend freezing this once it has been cooked. Many cooked veggies don’t thaw out very wel—the texture gets pretty mushy.
- To reheat: You can reheat in a 350 degree oven until warmed through, or transfer to a microwaveable bowl and warm on high.
