Total Time: 45 Minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 large red onion, halved and sliced ¼-inch thick
  • 3 large carrots, sliced on an angle ½-inch thick

  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 pound fresh hot (or sweet) Italian sausage links (bratwurst, chorizo, or any sausage that you like may be substituted)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and set an oven rack in the middle position. Line a 13 x 18-inch baking sheet with heavy-duty aluminum foil for easy clean-up, if desired.
  2. Directly on the baking sheet, toss the onion, carrots, and Brussels sprouts, oil, salt, pepper, and thyme until the vegetables are evenly coated. Place the sausages on the baking sheet, spacing them evenly around the pan, and arrange the vegetables as best you can in a single layer.

  • We’ve made the original recipe several times, as well as with red onion, broccoli and sweet potato. It’s amazing how delicious the meal is with such simple ingredients, especially the Brussels sprouts!

  • Quickest, easiest, and most satisfying weeknight dinner out there. Love Jenn and all her recipes. I use them most nights of the week!!

  • K, this was fantastic, better than I ever expected. I added sweet potatoes but they didn’t stick to the foil. I also added 1 tsp onion powder and 1 tsp red pepper flakes because we like spicy things. Man, what a great recipe to use up veggies in the fridge and it’s so delicious and clean up is a breeze!! Thank you, Jen!

  • Awesome. I’ve tried sheet pan dinners before but this one had the perfect flavor combo. I added a handful of whole garlic cloves to the veggies & pan fried some gnocchi in butter to crisp and serve along with it. Topped with Parmesan and everyone loved it!
    Thank you!

  • This was so easy & delicious. We love Italian sausage and need to get more vegetables in our diet. The mix of Brussels, carrots & onions was a perfect combination. We’re now roasting them more than ever before. Easy clean up too. Thanks for another great meal idea.

  • I made this recipe about a month ago. It was fantastic, but I did have a problem in that I used both mild and spicy sasuage on the same tray.

    My wife does not like spicy so it was not her favorite, but it was mine.

  • This is so easy but oh so delicious! This was added to my regular rotation and while I love the sausages with Brussels sprouts & carrots, the dish is equally good with whatever veggies you have on hand. Add a quick cleanup and you have a winner! Thanks Jenn!

  • Perfect recipe for my family because my son is allergic to poultry and beef (and a ton of other things). Used pork sausage and we could all eat it. It will definitely be in high rotation in my house!

  • Love this recipe!! It’s quickly become a staple in my house. I’ve made this now a few times interchanging vegetables or using chicken sausage instead of pork. Easy cleanup and a great way to use whichever vegetables I need to clear out from the fridge.

  • Such an easy, yummy dinner! We followed the recipe but added some cauliflower and loved how the everything caramelized with the Italian sausage flavor. And minimal cleanup after meant more time to relax! Thank you, Jenn!
