If you're looking for a quick, no-fuss meal that packs in flavor and nutrition, this Sheet Pan Veggie and Sausage Bake is your answer. It’s a one-pan wonder that comes together in a flash and leaves you with minimal cleanup. Perfect for busy weeknights or when you just want something hearty and satisfying.
Sausages add a savory, protein-rich element to the dish. Choose a variety you love — spicy Italian, chicken, or even a plant-based option.
Broccoli florets bring a nice crunch and are rich in vitamins. They roast beautifully, absorbing all the delicious flavors.
Bell peppers add sweetness and color, making the dish visually appealing and slightly sweet.
Cherry tomatoes burst with juiciness once roasted, adding a refreshing contrast to the other elements.
Onion slices caramelize and enhance the overall flavor with their natural sweetness.
Olive oil helps in roasting the ingredients evenly and adds a subtle flavor.
Thyme and rosemary provide an earthy aroma and depth of flavor, making the dish smell as good as it tastes.
Garlic powder brings a hint of garlic without overpowering the other flavors.
Salt and pepper to taste, ensuring everything is perfectly seasoned.
This dish pairs beautifully with a simple green salad and a slice of crusty bread. For a heartier meal, serve over quinoa or brown rice. A dollop of pesto or a sprinkle of Parmesan can add an extra burst of flavor.
Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures everything cooks evenly from the get-go.
In a large bowl, toss in your sliced sausages, broccoli florets, bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, and onion slices. You’ll want a big enough bowl to really mix everything up without making a mess.
Drizzle the olive oil over the mixture. Then, sprinkle the thyme, rosemary, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Use your hands or a big spoon to toss everything together until each piece is well-coated with the seasoning and oil.
Spread the mixture out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This not only prevents sticking but also makes cleanup a breeze.
Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes. Halfway through, give everything a good stir to ensure even cooking. You're looking for tender veggies and sausages that are cooked through.
Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. This brief rest lets the flavors settle and makes it easier to serve.
