Ingredient Notes
- Sausage: Fully cooked sausage cut down into ½-inch slices.
- Potatoes: Baby gold potatoes, halved or quartered as needed so that they’re in 1½- to 2-inch pieces.
- Onion: Yellow, white, or red onion cut into chunks.
- Vegetables: I love adding additional veggies for color and to bump up the nutrition value. Assorted colors of bell peppers and fresh green beans work really well. All the veggies should be cut into even sized 1½- to 2-inch pieces.
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Seasoning: You can use either fresh or dried herbs including rosemary and thyme, an all-purpose seasoned salt (I use Lawry’s), and freshly ground black pepper.
- Fresh parsley: An optional garnish for the finished recipe.
How to Make Sheet Pan Sausage and Potatoes
- Place the potatoes in a large mixing bowl and toss with olive oil, rosemary, thyme, seasoned salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
- Pour the seasoned potatoes out on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated 400 degree F oven for 20 minutes, stirring once after 10 minutes.
Whether you line your baking sheet with aluminum foil is a personal choice. It’s great for easy cleanup but the recipe will work just as well without it.
- While the potatoes are roasting, add the sausage, bell peppers, green beans, and onion to the same mixing bowl. Toss with olive oil, seasoned salt, and pepper, to taste.
- Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F. Pour the sausage and vegetable mixture on to the baking sheet with the potatoes and use a spatula to spread everything out into an even layer. Roast until all the vegetables are fork tender and the potatoes and sausage are browned. Garnish with parsley before serving.
The vegetables will let off moisture as they roast which is why it’s important to increase the oven temperature before returning the baking sheet to the oven. A very hot oven will help cook off the liquid.
Variations
Sausage: You can use any fully cooked rope sausage or link sausage you love. I frequently use smoked sausage but we also love it with spicy andouille. To lighten things up, go with a yummy flavor of chicken sausage, like Aidells. Any flavor and any variety of sausage will work, as long as it is fully cooked.
Potatoes: If you don’t find baby gold potatoes, you can use larger Yukon gold potatoes, red potatoes, or russet potatoes. Just cut them down as needed so they are even 1½- to 2-inch pieces. The itty, bitty creamer potatoes are so small they can be roasted whole.
Vegetables: Swap out the green beans for broccoli florets, asparagus, or zucchini.
Seasoning: You can substitute the seasoned salt with any seasoning blend you love. This would be delicious with my Kickin’ Cajun Seasoning Mix which I use like an all-purpose seasoning in my kitchen.
Storage Tips
Transfer leftovers to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 4 days. Sheet Pan Sausage and Potatoes is a great choice for meal prep! Prepare it on Sunday and portion it out for easy, delicious meals through the week.
Reheat leftovers in the microwave just until warmed though. They can also be reheated in an air fryer at 350 degrees F for about 5 minutes.

I will be doing this on the weekend. I’d prefer to use fresh sausage, though. Do you suppose if I put it in the oven with the potatoes that would be enough cooking time?
Hi Sue. Be sure to read the package directions for the sausage you are using and follow the recommended cooking times. I’ve never tried it with uncooked sausage so I can’t give you a precise time on that. Good luck!
The only thing I could ask for is serving size and calories. I’d love to make this for everyone, knowing that info.
Thank you to anyone who replies and the creator of this for taking time to share 🙂
We made this tonight..and it was so good!
That’s great news! Thanks for the feedback, Eric.
I am loving this quick and EASY dinner! I have never roasted my sausage before! No-brainer! Thank you!
Great idea. We love simple quick dishes with easy cleanup…and we love smoked sausage…so this recipe is great!
I am loving this recipe Valerie. It looks delicious and I love that it is a one pot meal. Pinning!
