How To Make Sheet Pan Sausage and Vegetables
Get the complete ingredients list and instructions from the recipe card below.
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F / 204 degrees C.
- In a bowl, combine melted butter, garlic, and lemon juice. Stir until well mixed.
- Spread the sweet potatoes on a sheet pan, spray with olive oil, and roast for 20 minutes.
- Add the sausage, kale, and bell pepper to the pan. Drizzle with the sauce and sprinkle on the seasonings. Lightly toss the ingredients to combine.
- Roast for another 9–11 minutes or until the veggies are tender and the sausage is slightly browned.
- Serve with extra lemon juice or lemon wedges on the side.
Recipe Tips and Variations
- Use a large, rimmed baking sheet so that all the ingredients have enough space to roast evenly. Overcrowding the pan can lead to steaming and make the veggies soggy.
- Line your sheet pan with foil or parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleaning up a breeze.
- Make sure your ingredients are in a single, even layer on the sheet pan. This helps everything to cook evenly.
- Preheat the oven before adding in the sheet pan so the sweet potatoes can start roasting immediately.
- This recipe will serve 2-3 as is but can easily feed 4-5 with a side of rice.
- Add herbs – such as rosemary, thyme, oregano, or basil.
- Top with cheese – sprinkle on shredded cheddar, mozzarella, or parmesan before serving.
- Add more veggies – zucchini and mushrooms are great additions.
Prep and Storage
- Prep Ahead – You can wash, peel, dice and prep your ingredients up to a day in advance and keep in the fridge until you’re ready to cook.
- Storage – Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container inside the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
