A quick and easy sheet pan meal featuring crispy Italian sausage and roasted vegetables, perfect for a cozy weeknight dinner with minimal fuss.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb Italian sausage links or patties (mild or spicy)
  • 1 lb baby potatoes, halved or quartered (Yukon Gold or red potatoes)
  • 3 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 medium bell peppers, sliced into strips (red and yellow recommended)
  • 1 medium zucchini, cut into thick half-moons
  • 1 small red onion, sliced into wedges
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (oregano, basil, thyme blend)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: crushed red pepper flakes or fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and allow it to fully heat for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Wash and chop the baby potatoes, carrots, bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion into uniform pieces.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped vegetables with olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat evenly.
  4. Spread the vegetables evenly on a large rimmed sheet pan in a single layer to avoid overcrowding.
  5. Nestle the sausage links on top of the vegetables or space patties evenly around the pan. Prick sausages lightly with a fork to prevent bursting.
  6. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the sausage and tossing the vegetables halfway through cooking.
  7. Check that the sausage reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) and that the potatoes are fork-tender and carrots are soft but not mushy.
  8. Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped parsley or a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes before serving.
  9. Serve immediately while hot and juicy.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure vegetables roast instead of steam. Flip sausage and vegetables halfway through cooking for even browning. If veggies start to burn before sausage is done, tent pan loosely with foil. Let sausages rest briefly after baking to lock in juices. For reheating leftovers, warm in oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes to restore crispiness.
