There’s pretty much nothing I don’t love about sheet pan dinners like this Italian Sausage Sheet Pan Dinner. For me, they’re kind of like a modern-day casserole, minus the cream-of-whatever soup and all the headache. And really, who wouldn’t love a pan full of fresh veggies and delicious sausage over a casserole anyway? If my family would let me, I’d make meals like this one every single day!
Being a work-at-home mom of two young kids keeps me really busy throughout the day and believe it or not, even this food blogger forgets to make dinner sometimes until about half an hour before we need to sit down to eat. I know, that’s just crazy, but I’m convinced it happens to everyone – even food bloggers – which is why easy meals like this one are SO important to pull out of your hat on a night when there’s nothing on the dinner menu and you have hungry tummies to feed.
We moved recently, so my life has been a little bit crazy (read: total chaos) and I’ve been relying on one-pan meals like this Italian Sausage Sheet Pan Dinner almost every day. In the last year or so I’ve actually been including several one-pan meals on our meal plan every week and I’ve started to keep my pantry and freezer stocked with all the ingredients I need to throw a healthy meal like this together in a pinch. The truth is, as much as I adore cooking, sometimes I just don’t have time for it at the end of a busy day and take-out or some other unhealthy meal is just not an option I’m happy with.
The other thing about many easy, one-pan meals is, they’re usually not that healthy for you and there’s not a lot of colour going on (read: not much nutrition!). This Italian Sausage Sheet Pan Dinner incorporates tons of fresh veggies which is an absolute must in my book when it comes to easy meals. And it’s so versatile, so feel free to add any other veggies your family loves. Sweet potatoes would taste great here, and even carrots would be delicious. My kids adore bell peppers so I’m always looking for ways to include them in my cooking, and they’re definitely a hit in this recipe! I hope your family loves this meal as much as ours does!

For easy recipes like this, my go-to kitchen tools are my favourite meat thermometer and my Misto Oil sprayer. The meat thermometer ensures whatever meat you’re using in your sheet pan dinner is cooked thoroughly and the Misto Oil Sprayer is the perfect healthy and economical substitute for conventional oil sprays you find at the grocery store that often contain all kinds of harmful propellants.
I just love this Italian Sausage Sheet Pan Dinner, both because of how easy it is but also because it’s just so colourful and flavourful!

Recipe: Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and spray a large baking sheet with some cooking spray.

This was insanely easy and insanely DELICIOUS!!! Thank you for posting this!
Did hey potatoes need to go in first seems like they would be hard still and if you out the sausage in for more the 25 it would be dry?
Because this recipe calls for baby potatoes (which are really small) they actually soften quite quickly. If you use full sized large Italian sausages then the cooking time is just perfect for everything. If you only have full sized potatoes, just cut them into 1-inch sized pieces and you’ll be good to go!
So glad you liked it!!
I made this for my family tonight and it was delicious. Excellently easy meal!
I’m so glad you loved the recipe! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a comment! 🙂
I dont have a all the spices listed but cook alot with thyme so hoping that it works well
You’ll love it!
This was so easy and very tasty! If using potatoes, parboil them or they will be a little crunchy. I used chicken Italian sausages.
Thanks Saundra!🙂
I love the idea of a sheet pan dinner, fast without all the crazy dishes!! Soo the hub and I wanted Italian sausages for dinner, I looked for a fast but yet a good sheet pan dinner. I came across this recipe and thought it sounded soooo good. Oh I was right!! This recipe was DELICIOUS!!! It’s been printed out and also saved into my Google collection,just in case my paper copy is destroyed. You won’t regret this flavorful dinner, a must try!!
We’re so happy you enjoyed it! Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback!
I used Yukon Gold potatoes cut into 1 inch pieces and the were not fully cooked even with adding and additional 5 minutes to the 25 minutes cooking time. Next time I will add a 1/3 cup of liquid (water, white wine, chicken broth)to the pan. I also use Italian seasoning and oregano, garlic powder along with the paprika.
Very good basic sausage sheet pan recipe that I could customize according to what vegetables that I have on hand.
Does your oven run true to setting? We suggest you use an oven thermometer to check if your oven gets up to the temperature that you set it to. The potatoes are supposed to roast, not boil in liquid. Hope this helps ☺️
There are so many ads that I could barely navigate the page… Just to see that paprika was the ingredient I forgot about
