Description
A delicious and easy Sheet Pan Sausage and Veggies recipe that combines roasted vegetables and smoky sausage for a flavorful, wholesome meal. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner with minimal cleanup.
Ingredients
Vegetables and Sausage
- 3 pounds vegetables, sliced into even 2" pieces (suggestions: bell peppers, zucchini, onions, carrots, broccoli)
- 1 pound smoked sausage (such as chicken, turkey, or andouille), sliced
Seasoning and Toppings
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped or sliced
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- Freshly grated parmesan cheese (optional), for topping
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C) to prepare it for roasting the sausage and vegetables.
- Prepare Ingredients: In a large bowl, toss the sliced vegetables and sausage with the extra virgin olive oil, finely chopped garlic, Italian seasoning, and kosher salt until everything is evenly coated.
- Arrange on Sheet Pans: Spread the sausage and vegetable mixture evenly on two sheet pans to ensure proper roasting and caramelization.
- Roast and Flip: Roast in the preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes, turning the ingredients halfway through cooking with a spatula to promote even browning. If the vegetables stick when flipping, drizzle additional olive oil before returning to the oven.
- Serve: Once the vegetables are golden brown and very tender, remove from the oven. Serve the sausage and veggies as they are, or topped with freshly grated parmesan cheese or Dijon mustard sauce as a flavorful accompaniment.
Notes
- Use a variety of colorful vegetables for a vibrant dish and added nutrients.
- If the sausage is very fatty, you may want to drain excess grease off the sheet pans halfway through cooking.
- For a spicier kick, add crushed red pepper flakes along with the Italian seasoning.
- If you prefer a vegetarian version, substitute the sausage with plant-based sausage alternatives.
- Serve with crusty bread or over cooked rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
