Ingredients
- 5 chicken sausage links
- 1/2 red onion (sliced)
- 1 sweet potato (peeled and cut)
- 5 small yukon gold potatoes (cut into bite-size pieces)
- 1 head broccoli
- 3 to 4 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- fresh lemon juice (optional)
Optional Vegetables:
- fresh green beans
- zucchini or squash
- red pepper
- cauliflower
- Brussels sprouts
- carrots
- asparagus
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Prep the veggies: Slice the vegetables of choice into bite-size pieces. Keep the sizes uniform so everything cooks evenly.
- Toss the veggies: In a large bowl, toss the veggies with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the broccoli, if desired.
- Slice the sausage: Cut the chicken sausage into 1-inch slices. If you're using whole links, you can also roast them whole and slice them afterward.
- Spread everything on a sheet pan: Arrange the veggies in an even layer on the sheet pan. Nestle the sausage pieces between the vegetables.
- Roast in the oven: Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping the sausage and tossing the veggies halfway through. If using pork sausage, bake for about 30-32 minutes, ensuring they’re cooked through. The baking time varies depending on vegetables used. Potatoes will take a little longer so check for them to be soft and tender in the center.
- Check for doneness: The veggies should be tender with crispy edges, and the chicken sausage should be browned and heated through (pork sausage should be fully cooked with no pink inside).
Notes
- My favorite chicken sausage is the Costco Kirkland Signature Parmesan and Cracked Black Pepper Chicken Sausage.
- Can I use pork sausage instead? Absolutely! Pork sausage works just as well, but it will take a bit longer to cook due to its higher fat content. Just adjust the cooking time slightly (more on this below) and make sure to drain excess fat if necessary.
- Adding a sauce can elevate the dish. Let's keep it real...one of my favorite dipping sauces to use are my leftover sauces from Chick-fil-a. But if you are up for making a homemade dipping sauce, here are a few simple ideas:
- Garlic Aioli: Mix ½ cup mayonnaise, 1 minced garlic clove, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.
