If you’re looking for a dinner idea that is healthy, fresh, delicious, all-in-one, quick and easy-to-make, this healthy sausage and veggies sheet pan meal checks all the boxes. It takes only 15 minutes to put together and 20 minutes to bake. You’ll have dinner ready in 35 minutes!

Healthy Sheet Pan Sausage and Veggies

How is this a healthy meal when it includes sausage? Well I use chicken sausage instead of pork, which cuts down on the fat and calories along with fresh vegetables. The vegetables for this sheet pan meal are Brussels sprouts (yum!), sweet potatoes and red bell peppers. (Who doesn’t love sausage with peppers?) So you have your meat, potatoes and vegetables all together as a meal-in-one.

Quick and Easy Sheet Pan Dinner

To make this sheet pan meal, simply slice the sausage into 1” thick coins, trim the stems off of the Brussels sprouts and cut them in half, peel and cube the sweet potatoes, remove the stem and seeds from red bell pepper and chop it up! Arrange the sausages in a section at one end of the baking sheet, followed by the Brussels sprouts, the sweet potatoes and the red bell pepper. Mix avocado oil with a few seasonings, spoon over the meat and veggies and gently toss. Bake it for 20 minutes. That’s it! It looks so colorful, too. No one will know it took you only 15 minutes to prep.

A Great Meal Prep Idea

This healthy sausage and veggies sheet pan recipe also works well as a meal prep option. After baking allow it to cool and then place the servings into meal prep containers. Now you have grab and go meals to heat in the microwave or eat cold.

Healthy Sheet Pan Dinner Options

It’s easy to change up this recipe with what you like or have on hand. Try turkey or meatless sausage instead of the chicken sausage. Swap cubed white, red or fingerling potatoes for the sweet potatoes. Or use broccoli, zucchini or carrots instead of Brussels sprouts. But I feel you must keep the bell pepper, but you can use yellow, green or orange instead of the red.

This delicious meal has everything in it, but wild rice or quinoa is a nice addition. Got 35 minutes? Here’s your new favorite recipe!
