How to make sheet pan sausage and potatoes

This recipe is an easy and straightforward one-pan meal. Preheat your oven to 400F/200C.

First, make sure all the veggies are washed and pat dry with a kitchen paper towel. Then go ahead and prep the vegetables by dicing the onion and bell pepper into large chunks and slice the potatoes in halves. Unlink the sausages if they are linked, you can use a sharp knife for this task or a pair of scissors.

Transfer the chopped onions, bell peppers and potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet pan. Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil onto the veg and season with cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Carefully mix to combine making sure each of the vegetables is coated with the oil and seasoning.

After that, place the sausages on the baking sheet pan in between the vegetables. Spray the top of the sausages with cooking oil (optional).

Place the baking tray in preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until sausages are cooked through and potatoes are golden brown and fluffy in the middle. For safe consumption, the internal temperature of the sausages should read between 155 - 165F/ 70 - 74C.

Tips

• If you are using thin sausages such as chipolatas, then you are best to cook the vegetables first for 15 minutes before adding the sausages so that everything is cooked through at the same time.

• If you like a crispy finish, turn on the broiler setting for the last 5 minutes of cooking.

• To make this sheet pan dinner vegan-friendly, you can use plant-based sausages and cook the sausages according to the package instructions.

• Not a fan of Cajun seasoning or if it's not readily available to you, feel free to use any other seasoning of choice. Try my roasted root vegetables seasoning or All purpose seasoning blend.
