The Simple Ingredients You’ll Need

The beauty of this dish is its flexibility, but here are my favorite core ingredients.

Pre-cooked Italian Sausage: This is the key to making this meal so fast! I love using a good quality, pre-cooked chicken or turkey Italian sausage. It’s leaner and packed with herbs and flavor right out of the package.
Bell Peppers: A mix of red and yellow bell peppers adds sweetness and a beautiful pop of color.
Broccoli Florets: When roasted, broccoli becomes tender with wonderfully crispy, charred edges. It’s a fantastic source of vitamins.
Red Onion: Roasting brings out the sweetness in red onion, and its flavor is a perfect complement to the sausage.
Olive Oil: Essential for helping the veggies caramelize and the seasonings adhere.
Italian Seasoning: A simple blend of dried herbs like oregano, basil, and rosemary is all you need to tie all the flavors together.

How to Make This Easy Sheet Pan Dinner

This method is practically foolproof and perfect for a busy evening. The full, detailed recipe is in the recipe card at the bottom of this post!

Prep Your Ingredients: This is the only “work” involved! Chop your bell peppers, onion, and broccoli into uniform, bite-sized pieces. Slice your pre-cooked sausage into rounds.
Toss on the Pan: Add all the chopped vegetables and sliced sausage directly to a large, rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle generously with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Mix It Up: Use your hands or a large spatula to toss everything together right on the pan until the sausage and veggies are evenly coated.
Roast to Perfection: Spread the mixture into a single, even layer. Roast in a hot oven for 20-25 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and beautifully caramelized at the edges.

Tips for the Best Sheet Pan Sausage and Veggies

The Uniform Cut Habit: Take a few extra minutes to chop your vegetables into similar-sized pieces. This ‘good habit’ is the key to ensuring everything roasts evenly and finishes cooking at the same time.
Don’t Crowd the Pan: This is the golden rule of sheet pan cooking! If the ingredients are piled on top of each other, they will steam instead of roast. Use two sheet pans if you need to give everything some space. This is how you get those delicious crispy, brown edges.
High Heat is Your Friend: A hot oven (400°F / 200°C) is essential. It cooks everything quickly and promotes caramelization, which is where all the deep, roasted flavor comes from.
Use Pre-Cooked Sausage: For a true 30-minute meal, using a pre-cooked sausage (like chicken or turkey Italian sausage) is a game-changer. If you use raw sausage, you will need to add about 10-15 minutes to the roasting time.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What other vegetables can I use in this Sheet Pan Sausage and Veggies?
This recipe is incredibly versatile! Zucchini, yellow squash, cherry tomatoes, or even small-cubed sweet potatoes would be fantastic additions. Just be sure to cut harder vegetables like potatoes smaller so they cook in the same amount of time.
Can I make this ahead of time?
While it’s best fresh from the oven, you can absolutely use this for meal prep. Store the roasted sausage and veggies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or a hot skillet.
What can I serve with this?
It’s a complete meal on its own! However, if you’d like to stretch it further, it’s wonderful served over a bed of quinoa, brown rice, or with a side of crusty bread to soak up the juices.
My vegetables are soggy. What did I do wrong?
Soggy vegetables are almost always a result of an overcrowded pan. Next time, try using a larger pan or splitting the ingredients between two pans to ensure the hot air can circulate properly.
