My life is crazy busy, TNNers. You too? I knew we understood one another.
So, since we are on the same page, let us talk about dinner. I feel pretty passionate about getting good stuff on the the table for dinner, but I have zero interest (most days) in reinventing the wheel.
Most days, I want simple, filling, and healthy. And I definitely want less dishes!
Sheet pan meals are my dinnertime superhero for that exact reason. Everything goes onto one pan, finishes cooking at the same time, and gets thrown onto a plate. The prep is minimal and the clean up is just as easy-breezy.
Yep, one-sheet meals are my jam and this Sheet Pan Sausage and Veggies recipe has been a family favorite for years.
Why this recipe is so good
- A complete meal all baked on one sheet. You don’t have to watch the time for 3 different things or wonder when to start another part of dinner. The veggies, the starchy sweet potato and the sausage are all cooked together, making dinner that much easier.
- Less dishes. Just mix everything in one bowl to make sure it is evenly coated in seasoning and oil, throw it onto one pan and that is basically it for dinner dishes!
- Quick to prep. Chop the veggies. Slice the sausage. Toss in seasoning and oil. Into the oven and your work is basically done.
- Veggie-loaded! Green beans, broccoli, cauliflower AND sweet potatoes!
- Flavorful. The method and seasoning is simple, but it brings the flavor of this sheet pan sausage and veggies next level!
- Family-friendly. Roasting takes the bitterness out of veggies and enhances their natural sweetness. So your family will love how this sheet pan dinner tastes as much as you like how easy it is to make.
- Great as part of meal prep. Make it ahead and reheat as needed! Perfect for those extra crazy weeks!
Suggested adaptations
I love to make recipes that you can add your own flair to or easy to adjust to what you have on hand. And this Sheet Pan Sausage and Veggies recipe is exactly that! Here are some swaps and adaptations you could make…
- Replace the sweet potato with Russet or red potato. In fact, pretty much any potato will work well in this sheet pan recipe. Just be sure to cut them into 1/2 inch pieces so that they cook at the same rate as the other veggies.
- Add some spice! When mixing the oil or seasoning, kick up the heat by adding some red pepper flakes or chili powder.
- Use frozen veggies. They won’t roast up exactly the same as fresh, might need a little extra time in the oven and/or will release a little extra water while cooking, but you can totally use frozen veggies in this sausage sheet pan dinner recipe if needed.
- Swap out the veggies or add more. Some other veggies that would be great in this sheet pan dinner recipe are chopped bell peppers or chopped onion!

I use precook end but you could certainly try it with raw!
I love this idea! 3 out of the 5 members won’t eat sweet potatoes though, do you think carrots would be a good substitute?
Oh yes! They have about the same cooking time and temp!
Love this recipe! We made it for dinner and it was so flavorful and easy. Leftovers were great for lunch too!
How long do you cook the sausage prior to putting on the baking sheet? Thanks!
I used precooked sausage. Many package sausages are precooked and will tell you right on the package that they fully cooked. Those definitely make this dinner quicker to make, since they just need to be warmed through. If you are using raw sausage, how long you need to cook will depend on the kind of sausage and the size.
