Description
A quick and easy one-pan sausage and vegetable dinner perfect for busy weeknights. This flavorful meal requires minimal cleanup and is highly customizable.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound sausage links (chicken, turkey, or beef)
- 2 large carrots, peeled and chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
- 1 zucchini, sliced into half moons
- 1 red onion, thickly sliced
- 1½ cups baby potatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley or herbs for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or foil.
- Chop your vegetables into even-sized pieces. Halve the baby potatoes, slice the onions, and cut the sausage into 1- to 2-inch rounds if using raw sausage links.
- Toss the vegetables in olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread everything in a single layer on the sheet pan.
- Add the sausage to the sheet. If it’s raw, place it evenly among the vegetables. If pre-cooked, add it after 15 minutes.
- Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping once halfway through. The vegetables should be tender and slightly caramelized, and the sausage browned and fully cooked.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of grated cheese if desired.
Notes
- Don’t overcrowd the pan; use two if doubling the recipe.
- Cut vegetables uniformly to ensure even cooking.
- Precooked sausage should be added halfway through the roasting time to prevent drying out.
- Swap vegetables for seasonal favorites like Brussels sprouts or butternut squash.
- Flavor variations include Italian-style with rosemary, Cajun spices for heat, or BBQ seasoning for smokiness.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for best texture.
