    This post was originally published in July 2021 and has been updated for content.

    When things are busy during the week, an easy meal is a must. A lot of times I am busy working and running kids around and the last thing I want to do is spend a lot of time prepping a meal. Sheet pan meals are a great way to cook everything all at once, plus there are less dishes to do after dinner!

    This easy sheet pan italian sausage and potatoes is great on it's own or with savory cornbread pudding or celery salad with parmesan.

    🥔 Ingredient notes

    • Italian Sausage - I typically use sweet or mild Italian sausage for this recipe. If you like more spicy, hot or spicy Italian sausage can be used as well.
    • Potatoes - Baby yellow potatoes are small and creamy and take less time to cook due to their size and density. You can use larger potatoes, such as red or russet, however, I do recommend cutting them into smaller sized pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
    • Peppers - I like to throw in a couple of bell peppers for some added sweetness and vegetables. You can use whatever color you like and even add some spicy peppers for some more heat!

    📋 Substitutions and variations

    • Different Sausage - This recipe will work with other types of sausages, such as chicken, bratwurst, polish or chorizo sausages.
    • Different Veggies - Asparagus, green beans, brussels sprouts or even sweet potatoes would work for this dish.

    🔪 Step by step instructions

    First, slice your peppers and onions into strips and cut the baby potatoes in half. Lay them on a sheet pan and add the sausages in between. Drizzle everything with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

    Roast in a 400˚ oven in the middle rack for about 45 minutes. The sausages and vegetables should be browned and the potatoes should be fork tender.

    If you ever don't recognize a tool or skill that I mention, be sure to look it up in the Glossary of Cooking Terms and Definitions for more information.


    ⭐ Expert tips

    • Make sure to cut the onions, peppers and potatoes into similar sized pieces to allow for even cooking in the oven.
    • Try and evenly space the sausages and vegetables on the sheet pan, so they evenly roast and brown in the oven.

    ⏲️ Make ahead and storage suggestions

    This Italian sausage and potatoes can be prepped up to 12 hours ahead of time. Place the sausages and veggies on the sheet pan, wrap it in plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator. When it's time to cook the meal, take it out of the refrigerator while you preheat the oven. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper and cook as directed.

    Leftover Italian sausage and potatoes will keep in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 3-5 days. Leftovers can be kept in the freezer in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

      This sheet pan recipe was a hit, my picky boyfriend loved it and I enjoyed every bite. I added portobello mushrooms to the mix; his only complaint was 'not enough mushrooms'. Flavors were wonderful. Thankyou so much! I'll be making this again for sure!
