Ingredients
- Italian sausage links – They usually come in packages of 4-5. You may need to buy two packages.
- Baby potatoes – Fingerlings also work. No need to peel them, just scrub them really well and trim off any blemishes or growths.
- Veggies – Red and green bell pepper, mushrooms, red onion (or another color, but I like the purple hue) and garlic. Green beans are added at the end because they have a shorter cooking time.
- Olive oil
- Italian seasoning
- Kosher salt and black pepper
How to Make Sheet Pan Sausage and Veggies
- Prep the veggies – Wash and scrub potatoes, cut smaller if needed and remove any blemishes. Wash and chop the bell peppers, removing the seeds and membranes; wash and trim the ends off the mushrooms. Mince the garlic. Place all the veggies in a large bowl and toss with olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Wash and trim the green beans but place them in a separate bowl to season.
- Roast sausages and vegetables. Arrange the sausages on a large rimmed baking sheet and surround them with the potatoes, bell peppers and mushrooms. Roast in the oven for 15 minutes, then add the green beans and roast for another 10 minutes.
FAQs
Italian sausages should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F. It should appear browned, plump, and juicy.
No, you’ll want to start with fresh veggies. Frozen vegetables are already par-cooked and would just get mushy or soggy.
Variations
Spicy: Add half a teaspoon or more of red pepper flakes or a pinch of cayenne, use spicy Italian sausage. You could also toss in a sliced jalapeno.
Deluxe: Drizzle with a balsamic glaze or some pesto and sprinkle some freshly grated parmesan cheese on top. Finish it off with fresh minced parsley, thyme, or oregano.
Kid Friendly: If Italian sausage is a little too much for your kids, you could use smoked sausage or even hot dogs!
Vegetables: You can use different kinds of potatoes or veggies, whatever you love. Toss in some garlic, or add sweet potatoes, broccoli, carrots, zucchini, brussels sprouts, or onions. Just know that each vegetable may have a different cook time and you may have to cook in layers.
Sausage: Use any type of sausage you like. Smoked sausage (kielbasa) is delicious, a sweet chicken sausage (yum), turkey sausage, or even hot dogs if that’s what you have on hand.
Add a Sauce. A drizzle of balsamic glaze, pesto, honey dijon mustard sauce, or even marinara sauce would be great for topping or dipping.
Serving Suggestions
This sheet pan recipe is such a great meal for family or for meal prep. I garnish almost everything with fresh minced parsley, so I definitely recommend that here. It adds a nice pop of color.
For serving, you can serve this as a full meal, or add some rice, mashed potatoes, or your favorite pasta on the side.
Storage and Reheating
Storage: Place leftovers in an airtight container within 2 hours of cooking. Store in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
Freezing: I don’t typically recommend freezing cooked vegetables like this because they tend to become soggy when you reheat. The sausages will freeze nicely; just thaw before reheating.
Reheating: Ideally, I recommend reheating in a skillet on the stovetop with a little bit of butter. But you can also reheat in the microwave.
Expert Tips
- Use an extra large sheet pan to give the meat and veggies room to cook evenly. Or, spread out on 2 pans.
- Cut all of the vegetables as evenly as possible.
- Line your pan with foil or parchment paper for easy clean up.
