Chicken Sausage Sheet Pan Recipe
INGREDIENTS NOTES
-
You have a million and one different varieties of chicken sausages—from spicy to sweet to herbed—and of course, you have a bunch more of the variety you might pick. Just make sure that the variety picked is fully cooked, if you're interested in shaving some minutes off your coking.
-
I used bell peppers, zucchini, onions, and potatoes, which are a great combination, but really, put in whatever you have, like maybe some broccoli, carrots, or Brussels sprouts. In addition, see what I mean about seasoning? I might add a can of tomatoes in with that sauce.
-
Feel free to play around a bit with some spices. If you like it spicy, then go for some red pepper flakes or add a dash of hot sauce.
STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F. For easy cleanup, line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
-
Use equal size for the bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion and cut into slices. Halve the baby potatoes. Add all the veggies into a large bowl.
-
Drizzle the veggies with olive oil. Add in garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, and salt and pepper. Season everything together.
-
Spread the seasoned vegetables onto the lined baking sheet in an even layer. Nestle chicken sausage links among the veggies.
-
Place the dish into the preheated oven and bake for 2530 minutes, until tender with some browning on the vegetables and the chicken sausage browns.
-
The potatoes should be really tender, and sausage cooked all the way through. If using raw sausage, it needs to reach 165°F or 74°C in the middle.
-
Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Let it cool slightly before serving.
RECIPE TIPS & VARIATIONS
-
Top with shredded mozzarella or Parmesan over the veggies during the last 5 minutes of baking.
-
Top it with some fresh parsley or even basil after baking, that goes really well and is a fresh punch of flavor.
-
Sprinkling lemon zest on top of the final dish livens things up with a subtle boost of citrus. B. Veggie Swap: Substitute or add in vegetables where desired, just be aware that the cooking times will vary slightly.
