Sheet Pan Chicken Sausage with Roasted Veggies and Potatoes

Post updated with new photos, tips, variations, and step-by-step instructions in January 2024.

One of our favorite weeknight dinners is sheet pan chicken sausage and veggies—potatoes, carrots, and Brussels sprouts roasted together and seasoned to perfection.

This recipe started as chicken sausages and potatoes, and we added carrots and Brussels sprouts because they’re inexpensive, easy to prep, and delicious. The whole meal uses and bakes in about 35–40 minutes.

Place the raw chicken sausages on top of the vegetables so their juices drip down and add flavor while roasting. Turn the vegetables halfway through baking so they cook evenly and don’t get overly crisp on the bottom.

What to Expect

  • Taste: All the vegetables share the same seasoning but each keeps its distinct flavor. You’ll notice garlic and onion notes, and the pepper stands out on milder items like potatoes.
  • Ease: Chop the vegetables, toss them with oil and seasoning, arrange the sausages on top, and bake. Stirring the veggies at the halfway point is the only extra step.
  • Time: About 5–10 minutes to prep and 35–40 minutes to bake.

Key Ingredients

Labeled ingredients for chicken sausage and veggies on metal baking dish.
  • Potatoes — Russet or Idaho work well. Leave the skin on for nutrients and faster prep; just wash and dice.
  • Chicken Sausage — Available in the meat section, often flavored (apple, maple, etc.). It’s lean and perfect for a healthy sheet pan meal.

Substitutions & Variations

  • Add cheese: In the last 5 minutes of baking, sprinkle Parmesan, Asiago, or Gouda over the sausages and veggies to melt.
  • Potatoes: Swap in sweet potatoes, red or yellow potatoes, or small multi-colored fingerlings—cut to even sizes.
  • Veggies: Faster-cooking choices like zucchini, summer squash, bell peppers, or sliced onions will shorten bake time. Cauliflower or broccoli also work.
  • Protein: Bratwurst or another sausage can replace chicken sausage if you prefer a different flavor profile.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F and prepare an 11 x 18-inch baking pan by coating it with oil or nonstick spray.

  1. Step 1. Wash the potatoes, carrots, and Brussels sprouts. Trim outer leaves and halve the sprouts, discarding any brown or mushy parts. Peel and cut carrots into roughly ½-inch pieces about 1–2 inches long. Dice potatoes into ½-inch cubes or smaller. Transfer all vegetables to the oiled sheet pan in a single layer if possible.

  1. Step 4. Sprinkle the seasoning over the vegetables and mix so the spices are distributed. Avoid stacking vegetables on top of each other—crowding slows cooking.

  1. Step 5. Arrange the raw sausages over the vegetables. Bake for 35–40 minutes. At the 20-minute mark, stir the vegetables and turn the sausages so they brown evenly, then return the pan to the oven to finish cooking. Sausages should reach 165°F internal temperature when done.

Top Tips & Hacks

  • If the pan looks crowded, split the vegetables and sausages across two pans. Extra portions store well for leftovers or meal prep.
  • Place the sausages on top of the veggies so their juices flavor the vegetables as they roast.
  • Chop vegetables into even, small pieces—no larger than ½ inch—so potatoes and carrots cook through in the allotted time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you bake raw chicken and vegetables in the same pan?

Yes. Ensure the chicken sausage reaches a safe internal temperature of 165°F. Use a food thermometer to confirm doneness.

Can you cook chicken sausage in the oven?

Yes. Oven-roasting is an easy method; just confirm the sausage’s internal temperature reaches 165°F.

Why are my veggies still hard after cooking?

They may be cut too large or crowded on the pan. Cut vegetables to similar sizes (about ½ inch) and spread them in a single layer or use a second pan to avoid crowding.

  • 1½ teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F and prepare an 11 x 18-inch baking pan with olive oil or nonstick spray.
  2. Wash potatoes, carrots, and Brussels sprouts. Halve sprouts and trim any brown leaves. Peel and slice carrots into ½-inch pieces roughly 1–2 inches long. Dice potatoes into ½-inch cubes or smaller. Spread the vegetables on the prepared sheet pan in a single layer if possible.
  3. Mix salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried parsley in a small bowl.
  4. Drizzle olive oil over the vegetables and toss to coat evenly. Sprinkle the seasoning over the vegetables and toss gently so everything is well coated. Avoid crowding or stacking vegetables.

Notes

Cut carrots and potatoes small enough (about ½ inch) so they cook through within 35–40 minutes. If the pan is crowded, divide the vegetables and sausages between two pans.

Store leftovers refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
