Chicken sausage sheet-pan dinner cooks in 45 minutes: most of the time is oven time. I make a chicken sausage sheet-pan dinner on one sheet pan when I need to make a complete dinner with few dishes to wash. Potatoes cook and brown a bit on the sheet pan with sausage. I like my potatoes with some browning.
I cut the baby potatoes into smaller pieces than the peppers. I bake the vegetables for 15 minutes without the sausage. Precooking the vegetables this way helps. I add the sausage and bake the entire dish for longer time until the sausage is hot in the center and browned and the broccoli and onions are cooked but still have some browning.
Pat vegetables dry before seasoning with salt and other seasonings, especially if you have washed them immediately before serving. Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the baking sheet with some space between them. Vegetables cooked close together will not brown and will be moist on the inside as well as the outside. If you cannot fit all the vegetables in one layer on one baking sheet, use two.
Eat it directly from the pan or with quinoa and other whole grains. A green salad would make a good side. Other types of sausage you can use include Italian and apple and roasted garlic sausages. Other vegetables can be roasted the same way, with roasting times adjusted as necessary.
