A quick and easy sheet pan dinner featuring crispy sausage and roasted vegetables, perfect for busy weeknights and satisfying meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound smoked or Italian sausage links, sliced into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch rounds
  • 1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced into thick half-moons
  • 1 small red onion, cut into wedges
  • 2 cups baby potatoes, halved (Yukon Gold preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash and cut the carrots, bell pepper, zucchini, red onion, and baby potatoes into roughly similar-sized pieces.
  3. Slice the sausage links into 1-inch pieces.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sausage pieces and chopped vegetables. Drizzle with olive oil and toss with minced garlic, dried thyme, oregano, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Ensure everything is evenly coated.
  5. Spread the sausage and vegetables out in a single layer on a parchment-lined or lightly greased rimmed baking sheet, avoiding overcrowding.
  6. Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping the sausage and stirring the vegetables halfway through (around 15 minutes) to promote even roasting.
  7. Check for doneness: sausage should be browned and crispy on the edges, veggies tender with caramelized spots. If potatoes are not soft, roast for an additional 5 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  8. Let the sheet pan meal rest for a couple of minutes before serving. Serve warm.

Notes

For extra crispiness, broil for 2-3 minutes at the end but watch closely to avoid charring. If vegetables vary in size, roast denser potatoes first and add softer veggies later. Use extra virgin olive oil for best flavor. Leftovers keep well for up to 3 days in the fridge; reheat gently in a skillet or oven to maintain crispiness.
