If you didn’t know, I’m 35 weeks pregnant {I promise an update on this front is coming this weekend} with our fourth little one. Between trying to finish as much homeschool as possible before this baby girl’s arrival, and and doing my best to stay awake until nap time…I absolutely rely on sheet pan dinner recipes like this (and this sheet pan stir fry),  that take little {to no} time and effort.

This Sheet Pan Roasted Sausage & Potatoes with Peppers is it. Not only does this healthy sheet pan recipe make a TON of food, but it’s cheap, healthy and everyone in my family loves it. I enjoy serving it with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar, a splash of lemon juice, and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese, but you can let your imagination run wild.

How to make Sheet Pan Roasted Sausage & Potatoes with Peppers

Pre-Cook the potatoes

The only thing to note here is that you must cook the potatoes for a bit before adding the peppers and sausage to the dish. The reason: they take longer to cook and you don’t want to end up with underdone spuds and charred peppers and sausage! There are two ways to do this!

  1. Microwave: this is my method of choice because it’s the easiest. I toss my cut up potatoes in the microwave for 6 minutes. This ensures that they are a touch soft before putting them in the oven with the rest of the ingredients, and guarantees an even baking time!
  2. Oven: Some people in this world {e.g. my little sister} don’t have a microwave! I still don’t understand it butttt if that’s you {I’m sorry} you can cut up the potatoes, toss them with half of the olive oil, salt and pepper and bake on a greased baking sheet in the oven for 15-20 minutes. Once they are slightly browned and soft then add the rest of the ingredients and continue baking.

Sheet Pan Roasted Sausage & Potatoes with Peppers: Substitutions

Here are some possible substitutions for this dish!

  • Sausage: I use Aidells Chicken and Apple Sausage because it’s clean and absolutely delicious. It’s also healthier than other varieties on the market! My kids are sausage monsters so leaving this out isn’t an option in my house {and I really love this stuff too}! You can substitute your favorite sausage variety! We also use it in this sausage gnocchi recipe!
  • Red Potatoes: Any potato variety works here! I love using baby reds, Yukon gold’s and sweet potatoes {for a paleo version}!
  • Peppers: Any color bell pepper works wonderfully!
  • Garlic Salt: If you don’t keep garlic salt on hand, use 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp garlic powder {and adjust to your tastes if necessary}!
  • Olive Oil: I L-O-V-E using flavored olive oil from my favorite store in my hometown! Feel free to substitute any oil of your choosing! I’ve had success with avocado oil as well!

    I tried 3 of your recipes this week – this, the mandarin orange grilled cheese, and the lettuce wraps. All 3 did not disappoint! I was so happy to have 3 new dinners that are simple to make and taste delicious. Even my husband who doesn’t love chicken was a fan! The sausage in particular was SO great – can’t wait to make it again.

    Please – post more recipes!!
