If you’re looking for an easy dinner and a way to mix things up from your usual sheet pan chicken and vegetables, this is the ticket.
- Quick and Easy: This sheet pan sausage and vegetables recipe is ready in about 45 minutes thanks to using precooked sausage. Lining the pan with foil means cleanup is as easy as throwing away a piece of foil. Love that part.
- Highly Customizable: Swap ingredients to fit your preferences or dietary needs.This sheet pan sausage dinner is a great dish for cleaning out your produce drawer, and you can mix and match based on what your family likes.
- Foolproof Method: Roasting brings out the best flavors with minimal effort. The veggies develop great flavor because they’re seasoned with smoked paprika, oregano, dried parsley, onion flakes, salt and pepper. Cook until the veggies are tender and have as much color as you like. A sprinkle of Parmesan cheese is an optional (but not really in my house) finishing touch for a savory, salty pop.
- Great for Meal Prep: Perfect for making ahead and enjoying throughout the week.
Recipe Ingredients
For this easy roasted sausage and veggies recipe, you’ll need:
- Pre-cooked sausage or kielbasa – You can use pork sausage, beef sausage, turkey sausage, chicken sausage, or even give it a try with a plant-based sausage.
- Bell peppers – I used yellow bell peppers but any color including red, orange, or green are just fine.
- Broccoli florets – I love the way the nooks and crannies of the florets really “grab” the seasonings.
- Zucchini – Yellow squash or another kind of summer squash work too.
- Grape or cherry tomatoes – I recommend using small tomatoes like this and don’t use sliced tomato wedges because the juice will run everywhere in a cut tomato.
- Olive oil
- Herbs and spices – A mixture of dried onion flakes, paprika, dried parsley, and dried oregano are what I use but if you have a spice blend on hand that you adore, or want to add some garlic powder, I am sure it will be lovely. You can garnish with fresh parsley or fresh rosemary if you have it on hand.
- Parmesan cheese – The finishing touch for garnishing! However, if you’re dairy-free and want to omit it, that’s fine.
Note: Scroll down to the recipe card section of the post for the ingredients with amounts included and for more complete directions.
How to Make Sheet Pan Sausage and Veggies
This one tray sausage and veggies recipe couldn’t be easier! Here’s an overview of the recipe steps:
- Simply chop up the veggies and slice the sausage, then spread the mixture over a sheet pan that’s been lined with aluminum foil. Tip – Use 1/2-inch sized pieces for the peppers and bite-sized broccoli florets.
- Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with the herbs and spices.
- Toss the veggies with your hands to evenly coat them in oil.
- Your sheet pan veggie and sausage dinner needs around 45 minutes in the oven, or until the veggies have softened and developed some color.
- You’ll want to stir the sausage and vegetables halfway through the baking process to ensure everything cooks evenly.
Recipe FAQs
Of course! For this sheet pan sausage and vegetables recipe, I used bell peppers, broccoli, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes because I had them on hand. But you can also try green beans, asparagus, chunks of onions, or your favorite veggies, noting that root vegetables like carrots or potatoes take longer to cook so you should cut them small and give them a 10 to 15 minute head start in the oven.
Use any pre-cooked sausage you like in this sheet pan dinner with sausage! You can use pork, turkey, or beef sausage. Or kielbasa or polska kielbasa. They’re usually U-shaped rather than links.
No, you’ll want to start with fresh veggies for this sheet pan sausage dinner.
You probably can, but you’d need to brown it first before adding it to the sheet pan. I haven’t tried it myself though, so I can’t say for certain.
Tips for Making This Recipe
Veggies: Remember that this is a pretty flexible recipe, so I encourage you to use whatever produce is in season to make this sheet pan dinner with sausage. Again, root vegetables will need extra time in the oven before you add on the rest of the veggies, but otherwise you can use this recipe for almost any combination of vegetables!
Parmesan: If you decide to use Parmesan cheese in this recipe (which you totally should!), get your hands on either a block of Parmesan or a bag of pre-shredded Parm. The stuff in the shaker can doesn’t have nearly as much flavor and it doesn’t melt on the hot vegetables.
Meal prep: Lastly, this is a great recipe to use for meal prepping since everything made is on one sheet pan and it reheats like a dream. The recipe below makes about 4 servings, so you may want to double this if you need it to last you the entire week.
Recipe Variations and Customization Ideas
- Vegan Option: Use plant-based sausage.
- Low-Carb/Keto: Focus on low-carb veggies like zucchini and broccoli.
- Italian-Inspired: Add fennel sausage, Parmesan, and basil.
- Mexican-Inspired: Use chorizo with chili powder, cumin, and lime.
- Brunch Version: Crack eggs onto the pan in the last 10 minutes for a hearty breakfast twist.
What to Serve with Roasted Sausage and Veggies
Sheet Pan Sausage and Vegetables
Ingredients
- 12 ounces precooked sausage or kielbasa, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds (I used beef polska kielbasa, but you may also use pork, turkey, or beef sausage or kielbasa)
- 1 large yellow bell pepper, diced into bite sized pieces (red, orange, or green pepper may be substituted)
- 1 large zucchini, trimmed and sliced into bite sized pieces
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, or grape tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon dried onion flakes
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika, regular paprika may be substituted
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly grated black pepper
- freshly grated Parmesan cheese, for garnishing (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easier cleanup, and add the sausage, bell peppers, zucchini, tomatoes, and evenly drizzle with olive oil.
- Evenly sprinkle with the onion flakes, smoked paprika, parsley, oregano, salt, pepper, and toss with your hands to evenly coat and distribute seasonings. Scatter vegetables in a flat layer and not piled on top of each other.
- Bake for about 45 minutes, or until vegetables are tender and have as much color as desired; toss halfway through baking to ensure even cooking. Start checking at 30 minutes for doneness since all ovens, veggies, etc. vary.
- Optionally sprinkle with Parmesan and serve immediately.

I made this with turkey sausage. I will reduce the temp. to 375 the next time I make it. I also put all of the sausage and vegetables in a bowl and mixed them with the oil and seasonings and spices and mixed them so that they would be evenly distributed before I put it on the sheet pan. It was delicious.

This is one of my favourite meals and I’ve made it many times with different vegetables and it always turns out amazing! To ight I used pineapple, zucchini, bell peppers, red onion, and radishes. I use spinach and feta turkey sausages from Costco but I think it would be great with chicken thighs.

You saved me! What an easy idea. I could only use what I had, carrots, broccoli, some baby potatoes. I don’t know why I can’t think of anything to eat, when I have to. Mental block, I guess. Thank you! And smoked paprika is such a good idea!
