Sheet Pan Roasted Vegetables with Sausage

This sheet pan dinner is so good!  Just ask MaryJo, my official taste tester, (I think she liked it)!  Roasted vegetables with sausage tossed with a number of spices to bring out the best flavors of the veggies is a meal you’ve got to try.

Easy and tasty is in play here.  I used a number of vegetables to roast…red bell pepper, sweet potato, red onion, broccoli, carrots, Brussels sprouts, green beans.  Use whatever vegetables you have on hand.

The spice combination is what makes this sheet pan dinner work.  Simple spices each contributing their own quality to the vegetables.

To keep things simple, I used a teaspoon of each…

Paprika

Onion powder

Garlic powder

Air dried shallots from Penzey’s

Dried parsley

Sea salt

Pepper

and some sprigs of fresh thyme

Place the vegetables in a large bowl with the olive oil and spices. Toss to fully coat and then arrange them in a single layer on a large sheet pan that you’ve sprayed with cooking oil.  Some people use aluminum foil or parchment paper to line the sheet pan. I find that everything will brown much better without the extra layers. Just spray the pan well with cooking oil to make for easier cleanup.

Add some pork sausage links that you’ve chopped into coins.  Potato sausage or Polish would be great. I used a breakfast sausage from Pastures a Plenty, a free range livestock farm, where the animals are free to feed on grass and alfalfa.  And it is also a meat that my daughter Amy will eat.

Place in a 400° pre-heated oven for 25 to 35 minutes until the vegetables are browned.  You can stir this around after 20 minutes or so.  Add extra sprigs of thyme once the veggies are done.  Just strip off the leaves and enjoy with your meal for a nice flavor enhancement.

One sheet pan roasted vegetables are easy to prepare and totally satisfying. Give this meal a try.

Enjoy!
