The more tight our time is, the happier I am to rely on simple dinners. On days where someone has dance or sports class, we’re hopping from one place to another until dinnertime. By then, everyone is STARVING, so I’ve been turning to slow cooker classics, make-ahead dinners, and easy one-pan meals like this easy sheet pan sausage and veggies.

I love that I can literally toss in any veggies and any flavor of sausage I have around, and it always turns out. It’s one of my favorite throw-together meals that always tastes good. Here’s how I do it:

I use fully cooked sausages, like kielbasa, chicken sausages, or turkey sausage sliced into rounds. Then I add small-diced veggies (I shoot for several colors) and I often throw in potatoes (sweet, white, or red) or some finely diced squash to round things out. The dinner itself is delicious (even if kids pick out some/most of the veggies), and the leftovers make a great breakfast or lunch the next day.

It’s easy to change up the flavors here. I almost always add a little garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the mix. Then, I like to stir in some fresh herbs if I have them (cilantro, dill, basil, or rosemary are all nice!). The sausage is the major flavor star here, so I take my cues from the type I choose. If I’m using a sweeter sausage (like chicken and apple), I might add a little pinch of red pepper flakes or extra herbs for some punch. If I’m choosing something with a little kick, I might opt for more mild veggies. If it’s got an Italian or Cajun flair, I might choose veggies or herbs that go with those flavors.

As for veggies, there are LOADS of combinations that work here. My most frequent combination is the one I’ve listed below in the directions. But I often toss in yellow squash or zucchini when they’re on sale or in season, or I’ll toss in sweet potatoes instead of white/red ones. Another favorite is a handful or two of baby tomatoes, which get nice and caramelized and lovely. Broccoli is really nice too (though it WILL make your house smell like broccoli). Use what you like, what you have, what is on sale. It’s alllllll good.

Notes and Tips For Sheet Pan Sausage and Veggies

Let’s Talk Sausage. You can use turkey, pork, or beef kielbasa, smoked sausage, or chicken sausages for this recipe. You just want to look for sausages that are already fully cooked so they slice easily. We look for Nitrate-free sausage, which tends to have the fewest additives, preservatives, or added sugars. Pedersons Farms makes a good one that’s Whole30 approved. We also really like Aidell’s brand chicken sausages, and even more mainstream brands like Hormel and Hillshire Farms are offering “natural” versions of their classic recipes (without nitrates, etc.). Look for what you like and what fits in your budget. This is a judgment free zone!

Paleo & Whole 30 Notes. This meal IS Whole30 approved, so long as you use compliant sausage. Pedersons Farms, Teton Waters Ranch, and Wellshire Farms offer compliant versions, and several flavors of Aidell’s chicken sausage also fit the bill. For paleo, you can sub out the white potatoes for sweet potatoes, more veggies, or diced butternut squash. See the next note for cook time adjustments.

Po-TAY-to, Po-TAH-to. I’ve found my red or yellow potatoes are totally tender and golden with 30-40 minutes of cook-time. If you want them even more crisp, you can start the potatoes with a little olive oil 10 minutes or so before adding the other ingredients. I like to do this with sweet potatoes or squash so they have more time to get that nice golden crust.

Spices and Seasonings. My go-to seasoning blend for this sheet pan sausage and veggies is a simple mix of garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. If your sausage is on the sweeter side, it’s nice to add a pinch of red pepper flakes, or a dash of smoked paprika for a little heat. Feel free to add pre-mixed spice blends, or just play around with fresh herbs as you like. Cilantro, dill, basil, and rosemary are my favorites.

  1. Did this one get posted early on accident? I’m not seeing the video or the recipe. It looks great and I can’t wait to try it!

  2. I am eating this leftover right now for my lunch. It is AMAZING! I will be putting it in my regular rotation. Everyone loved it, and it was so easy – that is my only criterion for recipes.






  3. This is the first “pan supper” I’ve tried, and we enjoyed it very much. I used Aidell’s Chicken and Apple Sausage. DH isn’t as keen on vegetables as I am, but he gobbled this up! Thanks for the recipe.






  4. Hi Emily,

    Yesterday was our cookie making day and I needed a quick, nutritious supper for everyone to balance that out. One adult daughter is vegetarian, one child needs dairy free, and the men want meat and potatoes! I watched your sheet pan supper video and tried it out. We made 3 pans: one all veggies, one with Pederson’s sausage, and one with pre-cooked buffalo chicken sausage. It was so, so easy and turned out so well! The best part was putting it in the oven and getting to enjoy the family while it baked. Everyone, every age loved it and took seconds.

    This recipe is definitely getting put in the regular “what’s for dinner?” rotation.

    Thanks for keeping it simple! Especially this time of year. Merry Christmas to you and yours!

    1. Wendy – What wonderful news! I’m SO happy you had so much success with this recipe! You highlighted all my favorite reasons why it’s one of our go-to dinners. So happy it brought you as much happiness as it does for us. Wishing you a VERY merry Christmas!!!

  5. Made this with smoked sausage, yellow potatoes, red and yellow peppers and sweet onion. Skipped the herbs since we were craving BBQ. Olive oil, tossed sausage, veggies, then drizzled 1/4 cup BBQ sauce. Baked 25 mins covered, stirred, uncovered another 20 mins until potatoes carmelized. Oh my word…family’s new favorite sheet pan meal. Thanks for starting my basic recipe.






  6. I’ve been making something like this for several years now, and love it. It is easy and takes only 30 minutes if you turn the oven up to 450º. I like to use sweet potatoes or butternut squash, carrots, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, asparagus, cauliflower, onions – all respond well to roasting. I have been using only salt and pepper for seasoning, but I’m liking the idea of branching out with the spices. Cinnamon on butternut squash (seasoned separately) is where I’ll probably start. Thank you for making me think more creatively about this dinner.

  7. Sheet pan dinners are wonderful! I’ve been making something similar to this for several years now, and it’s one of our favorites.

  8. This was very tasty. I didn’t cook for the entire cooking time, as the potatoes were perfect with it being in the oven for 40 minutes (I cut the potatoes a bite smaller to ensure they wouldn’t be hard). I was pleasantly surprised by this dish… and I’m super excited that I could eat this for dinner, or add some eggs for breakfast! Great addition to my whole 30 menu!
