Ingredients
- Sweet potatoes – Dice them into small ¼-inch pieces so they cook evenly with the sausage and vegetables. Regular potatoes can also be used.
- Green beans – Fresh green beans roast best, but thawed frozen green beans can work if patted dry first.
- Bell peppers – Any color works such as green bell peppers or yellow bell peppers. Use whichever peppers are on sale or already in your fridge.
- Smoked pork sausage – Smoked sausage adds great flavor and makes this meal filling. Turkey sausage, chicken sausage, kielbasa, or andouille sausage are easy swaps.
- Paprika – Adds mild smoky flavor and color without making the dish spicy.
- Garlic powder – Gives the vegetables and sausage extra savory flavor.
- Italian seasoning – A simple pantry seasoning that works well with the sausage and roasted vegetables.
- Salt and Black pepper – Helps bring all the flavors together. Adjust to taste, especially if your sausage is already salty.
How to Make Sheet Pan Sausage and Veggies
Step 1 – Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2 – Dice 2 cups sweet potatoes (about 2 medium) into ¼-inch cubes. Trim and halve 1½ cups green beans and slice 2 bell peppers.
Step 3 – Spread the sweet potatoes, green beans, and red bell pepper evenly on the baking sheet.
Step 4 – Add 12 oz smoked sausage (sliced into ½-inch pieces) on top of the vegetables.
Step 5 – In a small bowl, mix 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp garlic powder, 2 tsp Italian seasoning, 2 tsp salt, and 1 tsp black pepper.
Step 6 – Sprinkle the spices mixture evenly over top of the veggies and sausage on the large baking sheet.
Step 7 – Bake for 30–40 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the sweet potatoes are tender and the vegetables are lightly charred. Serve warm with a side of rice or quinoa and enjoy!
Tips for Success
- Cut the sweet potatoes into small even pieces so they cook at the same rate as the vegetables.
