  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

  • 1 pound fresh hot (or sweet) Italian sausage links (bratwurst, chorizo, or any sausage that you like may be substituted)

Instructions

  • I have made this recipe several times. But, because I’m a vegetarian, I use Beyond Italian Veggie sausage. To compensate for the fat rendering of real sausage, I’ve added a little dry white wine and/or veggie stock and a bit more olive oil to create a stock from the veggies and veggie sausage.

    Initially, I made the recipe as specified but found that 25 minutes isn’t long enough to carmelize Brussel Sprouts in my oven. So, I’ve varied the vegetables used based upon what I have and what needs to be used. Personally I love mushrooms with this recipe.

    Regardless of what you use, it’s a great, simple recipe that is filling, comfort food that also makes the kitchen smell wonderful!

  • I had never ventured into the sheet pan world until this one. It is so easy to throw together with store bought cut up veggies and I used kielbasa sausage. The only issue I had was the sprouts were still a little hard. Maybe cutting into quarters would work? At any rate, the family ate it all! No leftovers! Will make again in my rotation😋

    • If you have really big Brussels, you may want to cut them into quarters. Glad that other than that, it worked out nicely!

  • This has become a regular for us! So simple and delicious and easy to modify based on what’s in your fridge.

  • The easiest dinner for those busy days!! The versatility of this dish is amazing. I throw on whatever veg I need to use before it goes bad (I’ve even cut up an apple – it was yummy) and poof! A full dinner on one foil lined sheet pan! Thanks Jenn!

  • Such a simple, yet delicious recipe!

  • This s a wonderful Recipe. I make my own Italian Sausage and I am always searching different recipes to prepare. This is a Great option. Quick, easy clean up and delicious well rounded meal

  • Without a doubt this recipe is going into our “A++ Do It Again” file. Easy, delicious and a family favorite. The first time I tried it I used turkey sausage, it was good but I felt it lacked something. The next time I used mild Italian pork sausage and Wow, now I know what was missing. The carrot and brussels sprouts were a hit but the second time I couldn’t get brussels sprouts so I used carrots and parsnips, still a hit. AND only one pan to clean!!

  • This is a fast, easy, and delicious weekday meal. One pan to clean! I added an apple for a little sweet/tart flavor. Go to recipe for sure

  • This dish is my favorite weeknight meal to serve. Kids and adults both love this meal. The carrot and Brussels sprout combination is my favorite part of this meal. The prep and cleanup are minimal and saves me so much time. A staple in my weekly menu.

  • Sheet pan dinners are a staple in our house! We love this one because it’s so versatile to swap out veggies with whatever is on hand!
