Description
A foolproof, beginner-friendly sheet pan dinner featuring roasted sausage and root vegetables. This Whole30-approved meal is flavorful, easy to clean up, and perfect for meal prep.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 pounds sausage (chicken bratwurst, turkey kielbasa, or pork/beef)
- 1.5 pounds red potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 large head broccoli, cut into bite-sized florets
- 1 medium red onion, sliced into wedges
- 2 medium bell peppers, chopped
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or grease lightly with olive oil.
- Cut potatoes, sweet potatoes, and onions into uniform 1-inch pieces. Place in a large bowl.
- Add bell peppers and broccoli to the bowl (keep broccoli separate if using asparagus instead).
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the vegetables. Sprinkle with half the Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat.
- Spread vegetables in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring they are not crowded.
- Slice sausage links into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Toss with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and remaining Italian seasoning.
- Spread sausage on the baking sheet, tucking pieces between the vegetables.
- Roast for 20 minutes until potatoes are tender and sausage is browned.
- Remove pan from oven. Sprinkle minced garlic over everything. Toss gently to redistribute oil and seasoning.
- Return pan to oven and roast for another 10-15 minutes until potatoes are fork-tender and sausage edges are crispy.
- Remove from oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
Notes
Do not crowd the pan, or vegetables will steam instead of roast. Add garlic halfway through cooking to prevent burning. For best texture, ensure all vegetable cuts are uniform in size. This recipe does not freeze well due to texture changes in potatoes and broccoli.
