Just two steps to having 30 Minute Italian Sausage Sheet Pan Dinner on the table tonight

Toss all your sliced/diced raw veggies with some herbs, garlic, oil, salt and pepper in a large bowl and set aside. Place your chopped sausage links right onto a 500 degree F sheet pan to cook for 5 minutes. This allows much of their fat to render out, so when you add your vegetables to the pan they soak up that flavorful sausage juice. Stir once or twice during a 30 minute roasting time, and it’s done!

I saved myself a bit of time and just bought a bag of crinkle-cut carrots at Walmart when I was shopping for this recipe. I think they look rather pretty! Don’t worry if the pan looks a little crowded at first, those veggies will shrink right down as they roast.

30 Minute Italian Sausage Sheet Pan Dinner is also excellent as a freezer meal. Yes I said freezer meal Prep and season your raw veggies as outlined in the recipe, just leave out the oil. Stuff them in a gallon zipper-lock baggie, along with your sliced raw Italian sausage and freeze. Thaw in the bag, pour in a little oil and work it around, then dump out on to a hot sheet pan and cook as directed in the recipe. You could make ahead like four of these things and call yourself a true domestic goddess. Dinner is done and you just ‘nailed it!’
