Variation ideas

This dish is very forgiving and can easily be customized to fit your personal preferences or needs. Below are some variation options:

Sausage : we love smoked turkey sausage best in this healthy Italian sausage & veggies meal. We’ve also used Italian-flavored chicken sausage and throughly enjoy that. Smoked beef sausage also works great in this meal.

Keep in mind root veggies typically take longer to bake so you’ll want to cut them especially small so they’ll cook at the same rate as the other veggies. Some other options that would work great in this Italian sausage and veggies meal is cauliflower, brussels sprouts, green bell pepper, summer squash, cherry tomatoes

Add a sauce: while we love this dish as is, if you’d like some sort of sauce, I’d recommend a good basil pesto, creamy cilantro sauce (like the one on these shrimp tacos) or a homemade chimichurri.

One Pan Italian Sausage and Veggies Tips Use a LARGE sheet pan : the more space the vegetables have (aka the less crowded they are) the better they roast . When vegetables are overlapping or jammed into a sheet pan, they end up steaming instead of roasting which greatly affects the end taste/texture. We use this 15×21 inch sheet pan and I can’t recommend it enough — perfectly caramelized roasted veggies every time!

We use this 15×21 inch sheet pan and I can’t recommend it enough — perfectly caramelized roasted veggies every time! Add some parmesan cheese on top for the perfect finishing touch . I recommend grating the parmesan cheese with a microplane which gives it a great texture and melts beautifully into the veggies and sausage. Pecorino romano is a hard, salty Italian cheese and makes for another great finishing touch.

While it might not seem like it would work to cook root veggies like carrots and potatoes alongside more delicate veggies like zucchini and broccoli, when cut to the indicated sizes, it works! The potatoes need to be cut into small pieces and carrots are very thinly coined while the broccoli remains in larger florets and the zucchini is cut into thick half moons. Cut veggies evenly to further ensure even cooking.

QUICK TIP If an extra-large sheet pan isn’t used, the cooking time will be longer than the recipe indicates. When the veggies and sausage have plenty of room to roast, they’ll develop beautiful, caramelized edges and cook faster. Use 2 sheet pans if needed! Serving suggestions As is. We love this meal straight from the oven as is! Serve this way it makes a great keto/low carb dish.

We also like to serve this One Pan Italian Sausage and Veggies over a cooked and seasoned grain such as white rice, brown rice, quinoa, etc. This meal can also be served over cauliflower rice to keep it low carb.

As a taco. I’ve had a few readers try this in taco form! Char some corn or flour tortillas and load up this veggie filling into the taco shell with some sour cream or herb-y sauce (The one on this healthy tacos recipe would be delish!)
