What's a sheet pan meal?
Sheet pan meals are a simple way to prep a weeknight dinner that's packed with flavor. The idea is really simple - add meats and vegetables to a sheet pan, season them accordingly, and bake in the oven to a perfect, flavorful golden brown.
Sheet pan meals are the way to go...
- Less mess - you're going to use one pan and maybe a bowl in the whole prep process.
- Less work - cook everything at once! No need to cook separate ingredients with separate cooking times and temperatures.
- More nutrition - sheet pan meals are a great way to add more veggies to your diet. It's so simple to add in a vegetable or two when you're cooking a sheet pan meal. Plus, you're using a minimal amount of extra fat to cook the meals - no greasy fried foods!
I even have a collection of sheet pan freezer meals that make dinner prep even easier.

(See recipe card at the bottom of the post for exact ingredient measurements.)

Additional Seasonings
The ingredients in this sheet pan meal go with so many different flavor profiles. My go-to seasonings are salt, pepper, and garlic powder - they go with just about anything! However, feel free to change this dish to fit your flavor preferences.
I'd recommend adding about a tablespoon of any of the following seasonings to your dish:
- Salt
- Pepper
- Garlic powder
- Rosemary
- Italian seasoning
- Cumin
- Chili powder
- Fresh basil
- Thyme
- Sage
- Fresh parsley (for garnish)
- Oregano
- Paprika
Note: I would only recommend choosing 3-4 seasonings at most to add to your sheet pan dinner.
Veggies to Add to Your Sheet Pan Dinner
This sheet pan meal is incredibly customizable - if you can roast it in the oven, you can add it to this sheet pan dinner! A few of my favorites...
- Broccoli
- Red or green bell peppers
- Cauliflower
- Carrots
- Mushrooms
- Peas
- Green beans
- Tomatoes
- Zucchini or yellow squash
What kind of sausage should I use?
I'm an Alabama girl, so of course I use Conecuh sausage every chance I get. It's the best in my opinion!
However, change it up to fit your flavor profile. You could use smoked Kielbasa, Italian sausage, or even chicken sausage if you'd like. The only requirement is that it comes in links.
If you're a fan of sausage (who isn't?!), check out my Sausage Balls with Bisquick and my Cheesy Sausage Rotel Cups.
What potatoes should I use?
I like to use red potatoes for this dish - they don't require peeling, they're already small enough to easily cut into bite-sized pieces, and they have a rich flavor that works well with sausage.
Yukon gold potatoes would work beautifully in this dish as well. You can also use russet potatoes for this dish if you'd like - just make sure to peel them first.
And, if you want to change it up a little bit more, use sweet potatoes! The flavor of the sweet potatoes goes really well with the richness of the sausage.
How to Make Sheet Pan Sausage & Potatoes
This might be one of the easiest recipes on my blog. It's as simple as chopping, tossing, and baking in the oven!
Step 1: Toss sausage & potatoes with seasonings.
Combine cut sausage, cut potatoes, and cut onion on a lined sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and seasoning. Toss well.
Step 2: Bake in the oven.
Bake at 425 degrees for 35-40 minutes, until sausage is sizzling and veggies are starting to brown. Toss occasionally.
Storage & Leftovers
This dish should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. I recommend enjoying it within 3-4 days of cooking it.
When you're ready to reheat, pop a serving in the air fryer or an oven at about 350 degrees for 5-6 minutes.
Can I freeze this meal?
You can - but know that sometimes the texture of the potatoes changes when you freeze them. I prefer to freeze this meal with sweet potatoes as I did in my Sheet Pan Freezer Meal post.
More Expert Tips & Tricks
- I used a half-sheet baking sheet pan to make this dish. Make sure that, no matter which sheet pan you use, everything is baked in a single layer to ensure it gets nice and crispy in the oven.
- Lining your sheet pan is a huge help when clean-up time rolls around! I love using a silicone baking mat to line my sheet pan. You can also use aluminum foil or parchment paper.
- If you wash any of your veggies, make sure to pat them dry with a paper towel before adding to the sheet pan. If veggies are wet, they don't brown as well in the oven.

Hi Leslie! I replied to your email regarding pizza dough in an InstantPot and getting out of the dinner planning rut. I just wanted to let you know that I got this in response "Your message couldn't be delivered because the recipient's email server (outside Office 365) uses the spamrl.com spam block list and it suspected your message is spam. However, your message wasn't discarded, but instead was put into the recipient's spam quarantine.

Thanks so much for letting me know Beth - I'm going to check and see what's going on!
What kind of sausage did you use? I am making all your sheet pan freezer meals for my DIL who is pregnant, so she has some quick meals to put in the oven. Thanks for sharing all the recipes!
I used a smoked sausage for this. You could even use turkey sausage!
