Serve this easy meal with creamy polenta or Parmesan smashed potatoes for an easy and satisfying meal.

Servings: 4
Prep Time: 20 Minutes
Cook Time: 25 Minutes
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
  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, stemmed and halved (if small, leave whole)
  • 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. Roast for 25 minutes, until the sausages are cooked through and the vegetables are caramelized and tender (no need to stir while cooking).
  3. Note: Feel free to substitute different vegetables, such as baby potatoes (halved), sweet potatoes (cut into 1-inch chunks), large broccoli or cauliflower florets, or even grapes. (If using potatoes, do not line the pan with foil, as they are prone to sticking.)

  • Loved this! Used hot Italian sausage and cut up potatoes, celery, frozen broccoli florets, carrots, and red onions. Perfect week night meal. Served with homemade applesauce. Cooked for 30 minutes because I was worried the potatoes wouldn’t be soft enough, but all went well! Thanks!

  • Made this for supper tonight. It came out great. I had longer sweet Italian sausage links. Decided to cook them whole. It only took the 25 minutes. My son usually grills the brussel sprouts but there were some really tiny ones. I put them aside to try sheet pan method. Worked great. Added carrots and onions and baby potatoes. Will be doing this again. Thanks for a great recipe.

  • Hi Jenn I am looking forward to making this, question can i use venison sausage and if so does it make a difference in the cooking time?

    • Hi Melissa, Venison sausage will work here. I’ve never cooked with it, so I’m not sure if the timing will be different. Just make sure you check to ensure it’s fully cooked before serving.

  • Jenn I plan on making an italian buffet & would like to include this switching out veggies to peppers & onions. I would like to cut the italian sausages into about 3 pieces since there will be other foods. Would you recommend cutting the sausages in pieces before or after cooking? If you recommend cutting before cooking would I reduce the cooking time? Thankyou for any help you can provide. Btw I have cooked this recipe many times & it is delicious! 😋

  • I really liked this recipe!! Very tasty and satisfying. Everything cooked up together nicely and all the vegies were equally tender. I DID quarter the brussel sprouts to help with that. Now, I wouldn’t call this a super easy recipe, as there is a lot of vegie slicing. But totally worth it. I ended up roasting mine for about 40 minutes. And instead of adding potatoes to the pan, try this fabulous side dish of “Crispy Smashed Potatoes “. It went really well with the meal…https://plantyou.com/crispy-smashed-potatoes/

    • I agree, the roasting time is closer to 40-50 minutes.

  • I made this almost exactly to the recipe, just had more brussels sprouts (I had to use them up). It was really, really good and really, really easy to make! My husband and son also loved it; I’ll be sure to make it again!
