Sheet Pan Chicken Sausage Dinner

Say yes to this easy, no-fuss, veggie-packed, Sheet Pan Chicken Sausage Dinner. Perfect for those busy weeknights!

The post Sheet Pan Chicken Sausage Dinner appeared first on Budget Bytes.

One of the best go-to weeknight dinners is hands down a sheet pan meal. They’re easy to prep, everything cooks on one pan, and dinner is ready in hardly any time! This Sheet Pan Chicken Sausage Dinner includes a variety of vegetables and can be customized to your liking. Simply toss your vegetables and chicken sausage with a little bit of olive oil and spices and roast in the oven until the veggies are tender and the sausage has nice browned edges. Dinner simply doesn’t get much easier than this!

Ingredients You’ll Need

This Chicken Sausage Sheet Pan Meal is made with simple, basic ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • Chicken Sausage – Fully-cooked chicken sausage usually comes in 4-5 individual sausage links. I like using a chicken & apple flavored sausage, but choose one that your family will enjoy.
  • Vegetables – For the vegetables we used a combination of red bell pepper, red onion, broccoli, and sweet potatoes. But you can easily substitute some of the veggies based on what you have in your pantry or fridge. I’ll share a few suggestions below.
  • Oil and Spices – Extra virgin olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dried oregano add a simple, but flavorful seasoning to this sausage and veggies sheet pan meal.

Can I Use A Different Type Of Sausage?

Sure! You can use any type of smoked sausage for this recipe. I just so happen to love chicken sausage, but beef, pork, turkey, or even kielbasa sausage would work just fine. Just make sure you are getting fully-cooked sausage links.

Can I use Different Vegetables?

Absolutely! As I mentioned above, this recipe is very flexible and easy to customize. Feel free to switch out the sweet potatoes for Yukon gold or russet potatoes, you can use Brussels sprouts or zucchini instead of broccoli, and you can use different color bell peppers. Just make sure the vegetables are cut roughly the same size so they cook at the same pace as everything else.

Storing & Reheating

This sheet pan chicken sausage dinner is great for meal prep! Just store any leftover sausage and veggies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave or in the oven at 350°F until warmed through.

This broccoli cauliflower salad recipe will make everyone say wow! The creamy dressing and zingy mix-ins make magic with crunchy veggies.

Broccoli Cauliflower Salad

Here’s a fun summer salad recipe that we’ll eat ad nauseum: Broccoli Cauliflower Salad! Crunchy broccoli and cauliflower are covered in a creamy zingy dressing, then paired with sundried tomatoes, toasted pine nuts and feta cheese. We recently brought this to a cookout and when someone said “Wow!” after the first bite, we knew it was a winner. It’s similar to that retro salad with cheddar cheese and bacon, but with a twist!

Ingredients in broccoli cauliflower salad

Got a head of broccoli and a head of cauliflower? Those are the major components for this broccoli cauliflower salad, and it’s accessorized with a creamy dressing and some fun mix-ins. Since we eat a lot of vegetarian foods around here, we ditched the bacon in favor of meaty sundried tomatoes. Toasted pinenuts add big flair here, though you can use sunflower seeds too. Here are the ingredients you’ll need:

  • Broccoli
  • Cauliflower
  • Red onion
  • Sundried tomatoes
  • Feta cheese
  • Pine nuts (or sunflower seeds)
  • Mayonnaise
  • Lemon juice
  • Sugar
  • Dijon mustard
  • Salt
Broccoli cauliflower salad recipe

For the nuts

Pine nuts can be expensive, but they add a unique flavor to this broccoli cauliflower salad! If you can find them, it’s well worth it. Here are a few notes:

  • Don’t skip toasting; it brings out the flavor. Toasting the nuts for a few minutes in a skillet really brings out their nutty flavor. We taste-tasted without toasting and it was far less flavorful.
  • Or, use sunflower seeds or toasted almonds! Sunflower seeds are traditional in this classic salad. Or if you still want the crunch of nut, you could use Toasted Slivered Almonds.

Serving and storage notes

This broccoli cauliflower salad tastes great immediately, or you can refrigerate and allow the flavors to meld before serving. Leftovers last refrigerated for up to 3 days.

If you’re making the salad in advance, add the nuts directly before serving. This keeps them fresher and crunchier.
