A quick and easy sheet pan meal featuring Italian sausage and a variety of roasted vegetables, perfect for busy weeknights with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Italian sausage (sweet or spicy), casings removed
  • 1 large red bell pepper, sliced into strips
  • 1 medium yellow onion, cut into wedges
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced into thick rounds
  • 12 ounces baby potatoes, halved or quartered (Yukon Gold preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning (or mix of oregano, thyme, rosemary)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Red pepper flakes, optional pinch
  • Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Remove casings from sausage and break into 1 to 1.5 inch chunks.
  3. Slice bell pepper into strips, cut onion into wedges, slice zucchini into thick rounds, and halve or quarter baby potatoes evenly.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine sausage pieces and all vegetables. Add olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Toss gently but thoroughly to coat evenly.
  5. Spread the mixture in a single layer on a large rimmed sheet pan, ensuring ingredients are not crowded.
  6. Roast in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping the sausage and veggies halfway through for even browning.
  7. Check that sausage is cooked through with crisp edges (internal temperature 160°F/71°C) and vegetables are tender with caramelized bits.
  8. Remove from oven and garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Optionally, add a squeeze of lemon juice for brightness.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure crispiness. Toss ingredients halfway through roasting for even browning. Use fresh or fully thawed and dried vegetables to avoid sogginess. Let the dish rest for 5 minutes after roasting. For lower-carb, substitute potatoes with cauliflower or extra zucchini. Broil briefly if sausage browns faster than vegetables to crisp edges.
