Oven Roasted Sausage and Vegetables (One Pan)

Quick and easy oven roasted sausage and vegetables recipe, made with simple ingredients in one sheet pan. This 30 minute meal is loaded with Italian flavors.
I have been making this one pan oven roasted sausage and vegetables for years. The best thing about this recipe is that you can use whatever vegetables and whatever sausages you have on hand. I even play around with the spices. My family loves Italian seasoning, but they also like this meal when I used Cajun seasoning as well as Mexican taco seasoning. Enjoy the leftovers for lunch the next day and you can even pack them for work lunches or school lunches.

Key ingredients
- Vegetables- I used potatoes, yellow squash, zucchini, carrots, onion, peppers, and cauliflower cut into pieces.
- Sausage– Use your favorite type and flavor.
- Olive oil- Adds flavor and keeps vegetables from sticking to the pan.
- Spices and seasonings- Salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, ginger powder, oregano, parsley, thyme, basil, and red chili flakes (optional).
- Parmesan cheese- Used for a topping.
Variations
- Add other vegetables- Such as asparagus, green beans, tomatoes, broccoli.
- Don’t like veggies?- Omit all the other vegetables and only roast potatoes with the sausage. I would suggest using 2 large potatoes with 4 sausage links.
- Use a large sheet pan or cookie pan– This would allow you to spread out all the vegetables and sausages and allow everything to cook quickly and evenly.
- Stir fry option- Cook the sausage and vegetables (Frozen Asian vegetable blend works great for this) in a large wok on medium-high heat. Mix in a few tablespoons of your favorite stir fry sauce and cook for a few minutes until vegetables are tender and sausage is cooked.
- Use shrimp- Mix in 1 cup frozen shrimp to this meal too.

Tips for Italian sausage vegetables
- You can’t use ground sausage– It has to be sausage in casings.
- Use your favorite sausage– Such as Italian, smoked, spicy, chicken, beef, turkey, brats, kielbasa e.t.c.
- Use fresh vegetables rather than frozen– Because frozen veggies release a lot of water while baking and they don’t bake as crisp as fresh veggies.
- Recipe can easily be doubled– In order to serve more people. Use 2 sheet pans to prevent over-crowding and even baking.
- Potatoes generally take long to cook– So, make sure you slice them into small 1 inch pieces. This way, everything will cook at the same time.
- Adjust the amount of seasonings– Based on your preference.
- Use whatever vegetables you like– And whatever you have in your pantry.
- If you don’t have all those spices– Replace those with 1 tbsp Italian seasoning.
- Instead of Italian seasoning– Try a different flavor altogether by using Cajun seasoning or taco seasoning.
Recipe FAQs
Spread them on a sheet pan, lined with foil paper. Bake at 400 degrees for about 20-25 minutes or until sausage is brown.
Yes, make sure to flip the veggies half-way through roasting so they don’t stick and they brown evenly.
Coat veggies with oil and line the pan with foil. Turn vegetables halfway through as well.
Storage
- Make ahead- I recommend serving this fresh, but it can be placed in the freezer in a container for up to 2 days then reheated in the oven to crisp them up again.
- Refrigerate– Best served right out of the oven, but can be placed in a sealed container for up to 2 days.
- Freeze– I don’t recommend freezing, because the vegetables aren’t as crsip and tasty.
- Reheat– In microwave or in the oven.
