Reasons you’ll love this recipe
- Super easy. Prepping the sausage and veggies takes less than 10 minutes and then cooks on a baking sheet for about 30 minutes. There are minimal dishes to clean up!
- Healthy! This sausage sweet potato sheet pan dinner is high in protein, fiber, and other nutrients, and it’s also low-carb and gluten-free.
- Affordable. This entire meal costs less than $15 to make!
- Customizable. You can use any cooked chicken sausage and switch it up with your favorite potatoes and veggies; I’ll give more options below.
- Meal prep. For quick lunches and dinners, you can make this sausage sheet pan recipe on Sunday to heat and eat all week.
Ingredients
- Cooked chicken sausage. For best results, I recommend purchasing organic, high-quality chicken sausage. You can find smoked chicken sausage in the refrigerated meat section next to the other package sausages and bacon. Also, check your local wholesale store for great prices on bulk chicken sausage.
- Sweet potatoes. Any potato will work, but I love sweet potatoes because they are high in fiber, antioxidants, and vitamin C and A. Also, they don’t spike blood sugar. Not to mention roasted sweet potatoes are delicious!
- Brussels Sprouts. To keep this an easy dinner recipe, I suggest purchasing brussels sprouts that are cleaned and ready to cook.
- Olive oil. Heart healthy and helps the sausage and veggies caramelize while they roast.
How to Cook Sheet Pan Sausage and Veggies
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Remove the skin from the sweet potatoes and cut them into ½ inch cubes. Then slice the chicken sausage into 1-inch rounds.
- Slice off and discard the bottom of the Brussels sprouts and then cut in half.
- Place the sausage rounds, sweet potato cubes, and Brussel sprouts into a large bowl.
- Drizzle with the olive oil, toss until the sausage and veggies are coated, then spread evenly onto a sheet pan. You can use parchment paper or foil to minimize cleanup.
- Sprinkle with salt and black pepper, then cook for 30-35 minutes or until the sausages are brown and the potatoes and brussels sprouts are tender.
- Flip the sausage and veggies halfway through the cooking time. Serve hot.
Cooking tips
- Cut the sweet potatoes into uniform pieces to help them cook evenly.
- Use a large sheet pan. I tend to load up the pan with sweet potatoes and veggies, but you want to leave a little room to get that delicious caramelization.
Variations
There are many options for preparing and flavoring one pan sausage and veggies; here are our favorites.
- Chicken sausage comes in a variety of flavors, so use your favorite. We love Italian, greek, and even Buffalo-style chicken sausage.
- Swapping in smoked turkey sausage, smoked pork sausage, or smoked beef sausage is good too.
- This sausage potatoes sheet pan recipe includes a simple seasoning of salt and pepper. Still, you can also use dried basil and oregano or homemade Italian seasoning, healthy taco seasoning, homemade ranch seasoning, smoked paprika. or a blend of your favorite spices. You can also toss with fresh minced garlic or spice it up with crushed red pepper flakes.
- Sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
- You can even drizzle with a sauce like barbecue sauce, ranch dressing, or even this thai peanut salad dressing is amazing.
- Use your favorite veggies. Broccoli, mushrooms, bell peppers, cauliflower, carrots, cherry tomatoes, onions, green beans, zucchini, beets, turnips, parsnips and butternut squash are all excellent vegetables to use.
- As I said, I love sweet potatoes, but baby red potatoes, purple potatoes, or yellow potatoes will all work great.
Storage
You can cut and slice the ingredients ahead of time, so they are ready to cook during the week. Place the components in an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 4 days. On cooking day, continue with the recipe.

How would you adjust the time if the sausage is not precooked and is fresh?
Kim says
Regarding the directions to freeze, it states to make the recipe “entirely ahead of time” then freeze. Does this mean to cook, cool and then freeze?
Tammy Overhoff says
Yes that’s exactly what I do. Then I just heat it up in the microwave. Think of it like a lean cuisine meal.
Sherri says
Delicious! I added an onion to it because who doesn’t like roasted onion! Served it with quinoa and a fresh fruit salad with a side of cashew cream. Family loved it. Will definitely make it again.
