A simple, hearty, and flavorful sheet pan dinner featuring sausage and roasted vegetables, perfect for busy weeknights with minimal prep and cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4–5 sausage links (about 1 pound / 450 g), sliced into 1-inch rounds
  • 2 medium bell peppers, sliced (red, yellow, and orange mix)
  • 1 pound baby potatoes, halved (Yukon gold or red potatoes)
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced
  • 1 small red onion, sliced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and allow it to reach temperature.
  2. Halve the baby potatoes and slice the bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion into roughly 1-inch pieces. Slice sausage links into 1-inch rounds.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the veggies and sausage. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat evenly. Add red pepper flakes if desired.
  4. Line a rimmed 15×10-inch sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  5. Spread the sausage and veggies in a single layer on the sheet pan, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
  6. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring or flipping halfway through (around 15 minutes), until sausage edges are golden brown and veggies are caramelized.
  7. Check for doneness: potatoes should be tender when pierced with a fork, and sausage should reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). Roast an additional 5 minutes if needed.
  8. Remove from oven and let rest for a few minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
  9. Serve warm, optionally garnished with fresh herbs like parsley or basil.

Notes

To speed up cooking, par-cook potatoes in the microwave for 3-4 minutes before roasting. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming and ensure crispiness. Flip sausage and veggies halfway through roasting for even browning. Use sausages without gluten fillers to keep recipe gluten-free. Variations include swapping potatoes for cauliflower for a low-carb option or using plant-based sausage for a vegetarian adaptation.
