Sausage, sweet potato, broccoli, and bell peppers seasoned with olive oil, garlic, Italian seasoning and roasted to perfection. This quick 20-minute meal is a low-carb, healthy and packed full of flavor dinner option that is also great for meal-prep too!
Sheet pan dishes have become my favorite and most exclusive way to cook most meat and veggies. They’re quick, easy, healthy and best of all, they’re effortless. Just one pan and no dishes to clean? I’m in!
In the past few years, I’ve shared many easy sheet pan recipes and this one is another favorite of mine. It’s very similar to the popular 15-minute chicken and veggies dish but instead of chicken, we’re switching things up a bit and opting in for sausage.
I used smoked turkey sausage for this recipe. It can be found in the fridge aisle at your local supermarket and it usually comes either fully or partially cooked, but it will depend on the brand. Overall, any sausage should work for this recipe.
To being, chop all the veggies into small cubes. I used sweet potato, broccoli, and bell pepper. Asparagus, brussels sprouts, zucchini, onion, or baby carrots.
Next, slice the sausage into small 1” rounds and combine the veggies and sausage in a large baking sheet along with olive oil, garlic, Italian seasoning and salt & pepper. To switch things up, you can always use either taco, cajun or your favorite spice blend place of the Italian seasoning.

Notes
I made the recipe exactly as it’s written and at 20 minutes the potatoes are still raw. I’m now at minute 55 with the oven up to 450 hoping that they’ll finally be cooked. I cute them smaller than recommended too….
