Description
A simple, compliant Whole30 sheet pan dinner featuring roasted vegetables and spiced sausage. Ready in under 30 minutes with minimal active prep time and easy cleanup.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs Chicken or Turkey Sausage (sliced into ½-inch rounds)
- 1 large Red Onion (chopped into 1-inch chunks)
- 2 large Bell Peppers (chopped into 1-inch pieces)
- 1.5 lbs Potatoes (Yukon Gold or sweet potatoes, diced into ½-inch cubes)
- 1 medium Zucchini (halved lengthwise and sliced)
- 3 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Sea Salt
- ½ teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
- ½ teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes (optional)
- 1 cup Broccoli Florets (optional, added in last 10 minutes)
- 1 cup Cherry Tomatoes (optional, halved, added in last 5 minutes)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or grease lightly with olive oil.
- Wash and chop potatoes, onions, peppers, and zucchini into uniform ½ to 1-inch chunks.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the chopped vegetables with olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning until evenly coated.
- Slice the sausage into ½-inch rounds and add them to the bowl with the vegetables. Toss to combine.
- Spread the sausage and vegetables in a single layer on the sheet pan, ensuring they are not crowded to allow for roasting rather than steaming.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven and toss the vegetables and sausage to ensure even browning.
- Return to the oven and roast for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and sausage is cooked through (internal temp 165°F).
- If using optional broccoli, add it during the last 10 minutes. If using cherry tomatoes, add them during the last 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle with red pepper flakes if desired and serve immediately.
Notes
Do not crowd the pan; use two pans if necessary to ensure veggies roast instead of steam. Cut potatoes small (½-inch) so they cook at the same rate as the sausage. Use high-quality, sugar-free sausage for best results. Leftovers store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days but do not freeze well due to texture changes in potatoes and zucchini.
