Ingredients you’ll need

Cut the vegetables into similar sizes so they roast evenly with the sausage.

• 1 lb smoked sausage or kielbasa, sliced into coins
• 2 bell peppers, chopped
• 1 zucchini, sliced
• 1 red onion, cut into wedges
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

How to make one pan sausage and veggies (step by step)

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large sheet pan with parchment.
2. Add the sausage and all the vegetables to the pan.
3. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper, then toss to coat.
4. Spread everything into a single layer and roast for 22-25 minutes, tossing halfway, until the vegetables are tender and caramelized.
5. Serve on its own or over rice or quinoa.

Tips for the best results

• Use one layer. Crowding steams the vegetables instead of roasting them.
• Cut evenly. Similar-size pieces cook at the same rate.
• High heat. 425°F gives you those crispy, caramelized edges.

Variations & substitutions

• Swap in chicken sausage or a plant-based sausage.
• Use potatoes, Brussels sprouts, or carrots; add 5-10 minutes for denser veggies.
• Finish with a sprinkle of parmesan or a drizzle of balsamic glaze.

Storage & make-ahead

Refrigerate for up to 4 days. This reheats well and makes excellent grab-and-go lunches.

Frequently asked questions

What sausage works best?

Smoked sausage, kielbasa, andouille, or chicken sausage all work. Pre-cooked sausage just needs to heat through and brown.

Why are my vegetables soggy?

Overcrowding the pan traps steam. Spread everything in a single layer and use a large enough sheet pan.

Can I add potatoes?

Yes, but cut them small and give them a 10-minute head start since they take longer to roast than softer vegetables.

Is this good for meal prep?

Absolutely. It divides neatly into containers and reheats well for lunches throughout the week.
