One-pan sausage and vegetables

Why you'll love this recipe

This one-pan dinner is the ultimate lazy weeknight meal. Everything cooks together on one sheet pan, which means minimal prep, minimal cleanup, and maximum flavour from the caramelised vegetables and juicy sausages.

Ingredients

Proteins:

• 6 Italian-style sausages (chicken or pork)

Vegetables:

• 4 medium potatoes, cubed
• 2 peppers (any colour), chunked
• 1 red onion, wedged
• 200g Brussels sprouts, halved
• 4 cloves garlic, smashed

Seasoning:

• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• Salt and pepper

Instructions

1. Prep the pan: Preheat oven to 200°C. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.

2. Season vegetables: Toss potatoes, peppers, onion, Brussels sprouts, and garlic with olive oil, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper.

3. Arrange on pan: Spread vegetables in a single layer. Nestle sausages on top.

4. Roast: Bake for 30-35 minutes, turning sausages halfway through, until sausages are cooked and vegetables are golden and tender.

5. Serve: Serve directly from the pan or transfer to plates.

Tips for success

• Cut vegetables evenly: Similar-sized pieces cook at the same rate.
• Don't overcrowd: Use two pans if needed for proper browning.
• Start potatoes early: If using larger potato chunks, give them a 10-minute head start.

Variations

• Oktoberfest: Use bratwurst with sauerkraut added in the last 10 minutes.
• Mediterranean: Add olives, cherry tomatoes, and feta after cooking.
• Spicy: Use hot Italian sausage and add sliced jalapeños.
