How to Make One Pan Sausage and Veggies with Italian Sausage

Preheat Oven and Prep Pan: Arrange your oven rack to the center position and preheat your oven to 425 degrees F. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy clean-up and better cooking.
Combine Seasonings: In a small bowl, mix together the Italian seasoning, parsley, basil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and ½ teaspoon of black pepper. This blend will enhance the flavors of your veggies and sausage.
Season Potatoes: Add the halved potatoes to the pan and drizzle them with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Toss them to coat evenly and sprinkle 2 teaspoons of the seasoning mix over the potatoes. Use your hands to ensure they’re well-coated, then arrange them cut side down on the baking sheet.
Roast Potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the potatoes for 10 minutes until slightly crispy.
Add Remaining Veggies and Seasonings: After 10 minutes, remove the baking sheet and push the potatoes to one side. Add the diced peppers, onion wedges, zucchini coins, and broccoli florets to the pan. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and sprinkle with the remaining seasoning mix. Toss everything to coat and arrange the veggies in a single layer across the sheet.
Add Sausage to Baking Sheet: Toss the quartered sausage chunks with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, but don’t season them! Nestle the sausage pieces evenly between the veggies on the baking sheet.
Bake. Rotate. Bake: Place the baking sheet back in the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes. After this, rotate the pan in the oven and continue to bake for another 8-10 minutes, or until the sausages are cooked through (reaching an internal temperature of 160 degrees F) and the veggies are tender and slightly charred.
Serve: Divide the sausage and veggies between serving plates. You can top with freshly grated parmesan cheese and fresh herbs for an extra burst of flavor and color. Don’t forget a generous dollop of basil pesto for a lovely finishing touch!

Storing & Reheating

Store any leftovers at room temperature for up to 2 hours. For longer storage, transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. You can also freeze One Pan Sausage and Veggies for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply place the dish in a preheated oven at 350 degrees F for about 15-20 minutes or until heated through. Be aware that the texture might change slightly, but adding a drizzle of olive oil or extra seasoning can refresh the flavors.

Chef’s Helpful Tips

Avoid overcooking the veggies; they should be tender yet still have some bite.
Use room-temperature ingredients for even cooking and flavor absorption.
If you prefer crispy potatoes, you can give them a head start before adding the other veggies and sausage.
Adding a splash of balsamic vinegar before serving can enhance the overall flavor profile beautifully.
For a spicy kick, consider using spicy Italian sausage or adding red pepper flakes to the seasoning mix.

Recipe FAQs

Can I use different types of sausage?

Absolutely! While Italian sausage adds a fantastic depth of flavor, feel free to try chicken sausage, turkey sausage, or even plant-based alternatives for a lighter option. Just make sure whatever you use cooks through to the appropriate internal temperature for safety.

Can I prepare it ahead of time?

Yes! You can chop the vegetables and sausage the night before. Just store everything in the fridge separately until you’re ready to bake. This will save you time during busy weekdays!

What should I serve with this dish?

This recipe can stand alone, but it pairs wonderfully with a simple green salad or warm crusty bread if you’re looking to round out the meal. A glass of white wine also complements the flavors beautifully.

How do I ensure the potatoes cook evenly?

Cut the potatoes to a similar size for even cooking. Starting with the potatoes alone for the first 10 minutes allows them to develop a delicious texture before adding the quicker-cooking veggies and sausage.
