Sheet Pan Sausage and Veggies
Description
This one-pan dish features Italian sausage sliced with skins on, roasted alongside diced red potatoes, zucchini slices, chopped onions, and an assortment of bell peppers. The vegetables and sausage are seasoned with rosemary—fresh or dried—garlic powder, salt, and pepper, then coated evenly with olive oil. The ingredients are spread in mostly single layers on two baking sheets to ensure even roasting and caramelization.
The high-heat oven (425°F) roasts the mixture for 40 to 50 minutes, with trays swapped halfway through for consistent cooking. The result is golden brown, fork-tender potatoes and vegetables with well-cooked sausage slices that retain juiciness. The seasoning adds herbal and savory notes balanced by the vegetables' natural sweetness and the sausage's richness.
This dish works well as a convenient dinner option, requiring little preparation and presenting a balanced plate of protein and vegetables. Using two baking sheets avoids overcrowding which helps achieve better texture. It can be served on its own or paired with a simple grain or salad.
If a large enough bowl is available, all ingredients can be combined and tossed together before placing on pans. Ensure trays have space and do not overlap ingredients to promote even roasting.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons rosemary OR 2 teaspoons dried crushed rosemary, fresh, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 pound Italian sausage sliced 1/2-inch thick (do not remove casings) mild, hot, or sweet is fine
- 1 1/2 pounds potato scrubbed and cut into bite-sized pieces, red
- 2 zucchini halved and sliced 1/2-inch thick, medium to large
- 1 onion chopped 1/2-inch squares, large yellow or white
- 1 bell pepper chopped 1-inch squares, orange
- 1 yellow bell pepper chopped 1-inch squares
- 1 red bell pepper chopped 1-inch squares
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Arrange oven racks so that both racks are somewhere near the center of the oven (you don't want the bottom rack right above the heating element).
- Preheat your oven to 425°F. Lightly grease two baking sheets with cooking spray.
- In a small bowl, stir together rosemary, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- In a large bowl, combine sausage, potatoes, and zucchini. In a second large bowl combine chopped onion and bell peppers.*
- Drizzle the contents of both bowls with half of the the olive oil and half of the spice mixture each, and then use clean hands to mix each bowl so that everything is well coated.
- Pour half of the contents of each bowl onto both trays, and then mix well so you have an even mixture of sausage and veggies on each tray. Spread everything out so it covers the entire tray in a (mostly) single layer.
- Bake both trays at once for 40 to 50 minutes, swapping the trays once halfway through. Dinner is ready when veggies are fork-tender and sausage is cooked through.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Combine all ingredients in a single large bowl if it fits for easier tossing.
- Use mild, hot, or sweet Italian sausage according to taste preference.
- Arrange ingredients so they are spread in a mostly single layer for even cooking.
- Swap baking trays halfway through cooking to promote even roasting.
