Ingredients for sheet pan veggies and sausage

• Chicken sausage – You can use any type you like, I used Applegate Farms brand.
• Broccoli – fresh broccoli cut into florets
• Bell pepper – You will need two of any color, I used red bell pepper

• Olive oil – you can also use avocado oil
• Salt & pepper

How to make sheet pan sausage and veggies

1. Prep the veggies and sausage – cut the veggies and sausage into 1-inch pieces and add them to a bowl.
2. Season – coat the veggies and sausage in olive oil and then mix up the seasoning and toss everything in the seasoning.
3. Cook – place the seasoned veggies and sausage onto a lined baking sheet and roast them at 400 degrees F or 20 minutes.
4. Serve – enjoy in bowls as is or over cauliflower rice, cooked rice or quinoa.

Recipe Variations

• Switch up the veggies – you can use any veggies that roast well but a good rule of thumb is that root vegetables like potatoes and winter squash take longer to cook so you need to adjust the cooking time and cook those first, if using. Some vegetables that would work great in this recipe are cauliflower, sweet potato, green beans, Brussel Sprouts, or carrots.
• Change up the protein – you can use any type of link sausage in this recipe or cubed chicken breast or chicken thighs.
• Seasonings – you can use any seasoning you like on sausage and veggies. Some others that work great are cajun seasoning, fajita seasoning or taco seasoning.
• Add a sauce – my kids love a sauce on anything so we like to have one prepared on the side for people to add to this dish, some of our favorites are basil pesto, beet pesto, romesco sauce or healthy buffalo sauce.

What type of sausage works best in this recipe?

We enjoy all types of sausage but chicken sausage is our favorite. Some that we prefer are Applegate Farms, Trader Joes, Whole Foods and Sprouts organic brands. Italian or chicken apple sausage flavors are my family’s favorite but you can use plain, unseasoned, and season it yourself if you prefer.

Recipe tips

• Cut the veggies and sausage into 1-inch pieces so they cook at the same time.
• Toss the veggies and sausage well in the oil and seasoning to ensure everything is well-flavored.
• Spread the sausage and veggies out evenly on the pan with only a little bit overlapping so everything gets nice and golden and crispy.
• You can store this sheet pan sausage and veggies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days after it has cooled completely. Reheat it in portions in the microwave or in the oven at 350 degrees F for a few minutes.
