Summer Sheet Pan Sausage + Veggies

Prep Time 5

Cook Time 30

Servings

1 lb red or yellow potatoes, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 tbsp + 2 tsp olive oil, divided
1 tsp kosher salt, divided
8 oz green beans, trimmed, cut in half
1 pint cherry tomatoes
10-12 oz sausage (about 4), cut into large pieces*
½ cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
½ cup chopped fresh herbs
½ cup chopped toasted almonds or walnuts (optional)
1 lemon, cut into wedges
Salt and pepper
*Any pre-cooked sausage will work. Or use raw sausage, torn into bite-sized chunks. See substitutions section for other ideas.
Note: ~ I like this simple as is, but if you want something saucy, just whip up a sauce to put on top. Like chimichurri!

Preheat the oven to 450F or 425F convection. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
To the baking sheet, add the potatoes, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and ½ teaspoon salt. Toss to coat well, then spread out into an even layer. Bake for 15 minutes, or until lightly browned on the bottoms. Use a spatula to release the potatoes from the parchment and stir them around.
To a medium/large bowl, add green beans and tomatoes and toss with 1 tablespoon oil and remaining ½ teaspoon salt. Add to the sheet pan, tossing it with the potatoes and spreading it out evenly. Add sausage to the bowl with remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil, toss to coat, then add to the sheet pan, nestling them into the veggies. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the tomatoes are burst open and green beans are tender.
Remove from the oven and top with cheese (if using), herbs, nuts (if using), a hefty squeeze of lemon, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.

Substitutions:

To make vegan, substitute with vegan sausage, drained and pressed tofu strips, or rinsed and drained beans. Just be sure to season them with plenty of salt and toss in a bit of oil.
This recipe is super adaptable - use any veggies in place of the potatoes, green beans, and tomatoes. Just be sure to add them at the correct time based on how long they take to cook.
This is a complete meal on it’s own, but to bulk it up you could serve it with some grains or pasta.
If you’re not into sausage, use boneless skinless chicken thighs - just toss in some oil with salt and pepper before adding to the tray. They usually take about 15-20 minutes to bake.

Chop up the sausage and toss it all with some spaghetti for a delicious easy pasta.
Warm it up for breakfast with some scrambled eggs.
