Print Recipe

A quick, easy, and comforting weeknight dinner featuring roasted Italian sausage and fall vegetables like sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts, and kale on a single sheet pan.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds Italian Sausage (Sweet or Hot), sliced into 1-inch rounds
  • 2 medium Sweet Potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 pound Brussels Sprouts, halved
  • 1 large Red Onion, cut into wedges
  • 2 large Carrots, peeled and chopped into 1-inch chunks
  • 2 cups Kale or Swiss Chard, stems removed and leaves torn
  • 3 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Thyme
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
  • Salt and Black Pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Peel and chop sweet potatoes and carrots into 1-inch cubes. Halve Brussels sprouts and cut red onion into wedges. Tear kale leaves into bite-sized pieces.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine sweet potatoes, carrots, Brussels sprouts, and onions. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil and sprinkle with thyme, oregano, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
  4. Spread vegetables in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet, ensuring they are not crowded.
  5. Toss sausage pieces with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and a pinch of salt. Scatter sausage over the vegetables.
  6. Roast for 20 minutes. Remove pan and stir everything around. Add kale or chard.
  7. Return to oven and roast for another 15-20 minutes, or until vegetables are tender and caramelized and sausage is browned.
  8. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure vegetables roast rather than steam. Cut vegetables uniformly for even cooking. If using raw sausage, ensure internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). For extra flavor, add fresh garlic or balsamic vinegar in the last 5 minutes. Can be adapted for vegan diets using plant-based sausage.
