Roasted Veggie & Sausage Sheet Pan Meal

Sheet pan meals are new to me. I don’t know why. They’re brilliant. Once you chop the veggies, you’re done. And even better is the fact that the entire meal is done at once. No trying to keep your side dish warm while the meat finishes cooking. Nope. It all goes in on one pan. It all comes out on one pan. Bravo! Bravo! This Roasted Veggie and Sausage Sheet Pan Meal is one the whole family is going to love!

Sheet Pan Meal

Now I have to warn you that the ingredient list looks like it’s a mile long. Relax. They’re probably all herbs you have in your spice rack. Nothing crazy… except for how crazy delicious this recipe is. (I know, that was corny. I just couldn’t help myself!)

What do I love about this recipe?

The entire dinner cooks on one (just ONE) pan! It’s easy. There’s less dishes. It’s easy!

I appreciate the variety of color in this recipe. It’s not just because it’s pretty that I like it, but because as the saying goes, “The more colorful your plate is, the more healthy the meal.” Okay, so that’s not a direct quote, but you get the picture.

Now here’s the best part. What I really love is that you chunk the veggies. The recipe says chop into small pieces, but look at the picture and we’ve got chunks going on.  Yes, CHUNK! Small chunks, but still… chunks! I think everything I make requires dicing or thinly slicing. Sometimes I just want to chunk it and get it over with. You know what I mean? Chunks, people! Momma loves chunks!

 

Sheet Pan Meal veggies

After you cut the vegetables, spread them into a single layer on your baking sheet. Honestly, I don’t know that it really matters if you mix them up or group each veggie. They all cook the same and they get mixed up in the end anyways. This way just looks fancier and well, you know me! Wink, wink.

Drizzle the pan of veggies with the herb topping. Cut the sausage and add over the herb coated veggies, This way the juice from the meat cooks out onto the veggies and keeps them moist. Then… you’re done! Well, besides the obvious turning the oven on, putting the dish in the oven and starting the timer. Anyone else hate it when you put a pot on the stove, but forget to light the burner? Please tell me that’s not just me!

Sheet Pan Meal cooked

When the sheet pan comes out of the oven, scoop the veggies and sausage together into a serving dish. Now you’ve got yourself a gourmet meal in both looks and taste! And seriously, don’t we all want it to look like we slaved all day over a meal?! Beautiful!
