How to Make Sheet-Pan Sausage & Veggies (Step-by-Step)

Here’s how easy this dinner really is:

1. Prep & Toss

Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Slice all your veggies and sausage into even pieces (about 2 inches). Toss everything in a big bowl with olive oil, garlic, Italian seasoning, and salt. Mix until evenly coated.

2. Spread Out

Divide the mixture between two sheet pans. Don’t crowd—space helps everything brown instead of steam.

Uncooked sausage, broccoli, bell peppers, and potatoes spread evenly on a baking sheet with herbs and oil.

3. Roast & Flip

Roast for 20–30 minutes, flipping everything halfway through. If the veggies stick when you try to flip, drizzle with a little more olive oil and keep going.

4. Finish & Serve

Serve hot, sprinkled with parmesan if you want, or alongside Dijon mustard sauce or a tangy vinaigrette. Let everyone build their own bowl or sandwich—or just dig in straight from the pan.

Tips, Tricks & Variations

Mix up the veggies: Almost anything works—try red onion, squash, potatoes, tomatoes, or green beans.
Add heat: Toss in red pepper flakes with the seasoning for a little kick.
Change up the sausage: Veggie sausage or plant-based links work great if you want to go meatless.
Make it a meal: Serve over quinoa, rice, cauliflower rice, or pile into a hoagie roll with cheese and broil for a sausage-and-peppers sandwich.
Meal prep: Store leftovers in an airtight container up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven or a skillet for best results.
