A quick, healthy, and fuss-free Whole30-compliant sheet pan dinner featuring juicy chicken sausage and a medley of roasted vegetables, perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450g) Whole30-compliant chicken sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
  • 1 large red bell pepper, sliced into strips
  • 1 medium zucchini, cut into half-moons
  • 1 medium yellow squash, sliced
  • 1 small red onion, cut into wedges
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
  • Red pepper flakes (optional, for extra heat)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Slice the chicken sausage into 1/2-inch (1.3 cm) rounds and set aside.
  3. Wash and chop the vegetables: slice the red bell pepper into strips, cut zucchini and yellow squash into half-moons, wedge the red onion, halve cherry tomatoes, and break broccoli into bite-size florets.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, toss the vegetables with olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  5. Arrange the sausage slices and vegetables in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding; use two pans if necessary.
  6. Place the sheet pan in the oven and roast for 25-30 minutes. Halfway through (around 15 minutes), remove the pan and use tongs to flip the sausage and stir the vegetables for even cooking.
  7. Check for doneness: sausage should be golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F / 74°C), and vegetables should be tender with caramelized edges.
  8. Optional: Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the dish before serving.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure proper caramelization. Flip sausage and stir vegetables halfway through cooking for even browning. You can swap vegetables seasonally or add red pepper flakes for heat. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheat best in a skillet or oven to avoid rubbery sausage texture.
