💭Recipe FAQs
Yes! You can use uncooked sausage just make sure it is fully cooked before consuming it. I recommend checking the internal temperature is 165 degrees F with a meat thermometer.
The recipe calls for 1 pound of sausage which is typically 1 ½ packages. Feel free to cook them all to have on hand as meal prep.
I don't recommend frozen veggies as they tend to release a lot of water and can make the entire meal soggy. Use pre-cut veggies if you need to save on prep time.
👩🏻🍳Chef Tips
- Cut the vegetables into evenly sized pieces to ensure everything cooks at the same rate.
- Use a large sheet pan to allow more space between the ingredients. This will help them roast better.
- If you use uncooked sausages, make sure to check the internal temperature before serving. They should be at least 165 degrees F.
- Use parchment paper to line your large sheet pan to make clean-up even easier!
🥗Serving
I like serving this meal over simple white or brown rice as the bake is flavorful on its own. Quinoa and roasted potatoes would also go well with this sheet pan dinner.
Air fryer smashed potatoes would be great with this sausage sheet pan meal.
