A quick and easy sheet pan dinner featuring crispy sausage and roasted vegetables, perfect for busy weeknights and customizable to your taste.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450 g) sausages (Italian, smoked, or chicken sausage)
  • 2 medium bell peppers, sliced into strips (red and yellow preferred)
  • 1 large red onion, cut into wedges
  • 2 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons
  • 1 pound (450 g) baby potatoes, halved or quartered
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced or smashed
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: red pepper flakes
  • Optional: splash of balsamic vinegar before serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash and dry all vegetables thoroughly. Slice bell peppers into strips, cut red onion into wedges, zucchini into half-moons, and halve or quarter baby potatoes. Dry potatoes well to avoid sogginess.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the prepared vegetables with 2 tablespoons olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Slice the sausages into 1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces. Toss with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  5. Spread the veggies evenly on a large rimmed sheet pan, leaving space between pieces. Nestle the sausage pieces among the veggies without overcrowding.
  6. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. Halfway through, flip the sausage and stir the veggies for even browning.
  7. Check for doneness: sausage should be browned and cooked through (internal temp 160°F / 71°C), vegetables tender with crispy edges. Roast up to 5 minutes longer if needed.
  8. Optional: drizzle a splash of balsamic vinegar or sprinkle fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

For crispier potatoes, parboil for 5 minutes before roasting. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming. Use a convection oven setting if available for better crispiness. Rest the sheet pan for 5 minutes after roasting to let flavors settle. Swap veggies or sausage to suit dietary preferences or seasonal availability.
