Easy Sheet Pan Sausages and Veggies recipe made with roasted sausage, colorful vegetables, and simple seasoning. A healthy, quick, and family-friendly dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 lb 450g smoked or Italian sausages, sliced into 1-inch pieces
- 1 large red bell pepper sliced into strips
- 1 large yellow bell pepper sliced into strips
- 1 medium zucchini cut into half-moons
- 1 medium red onion cut into wedges
- 2 medium carrots peeled and sliced into thin sticks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs or oregano, thyme, and basil mix
- ½ teaspoon salt adjust to taste
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- Optional garnish: fresh parsley chopped, or grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the sheet pan:Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil for easier cleanup later.
- Chop the veggies and sausages:Slice the sausages into bite-sized rounds. Cut the bell peppers into strips, zucchini into half-moons, onion into wedges, and carrots into thin sticks. Try to keep the veggie pieces similar in size so they cook evenly.
- Season everything:Place all the chopped vegetables and sausage pieces in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle in garlic powder, smoked paprika, Italian herbs, salt, and pepper. Toss well with your hands or a spatula until everything is evenly coated with oil and seasoning.
- Arrange on the pan:Spread the mixture out onto the prepared sheet pan in a single, even layer. Make sure the veggies aren’t piled up too much—this helps them roast instead of steam. If needed, use two pans for better browning.
- Bake until golden and tender:Place the sheet pan in the oven and roast for 15 minutes. Remove the pan, give everything a quick stir or flip, then return to the oven for another 15 minutes. The sausages should be sizzling, the veggies tender, and the edges slightly caramelized.
- Finish and serve:Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle with fresh parsley or Parmesan if you like. Serve as is for a light meal, or pair with crusty bread, rice, or pasta for something heartier.
