Easy Sheet Pan Sausage Bake

Easy Sheet Pan Sausage Bake Recipe – sausage, potatoes, and zucchini baked with herbs on a sheet pan for an easy dinner with sides all in one dish!

At Ajpal, I add lots of tips in all of my recipes – because I am a home cook without any formal training, and I find I am more confident making dishes when I understand why it works, and what each ingredient means to the flavor of a recipe. My goal is for even the most beginner home cook to feel empowered in the kitchen.

One Pan Sausage Squash bake

If you love sausage, and you’re looking for a delicious and super easy way to make a delicious one pot dinner, this recipe is for you.

We’re baking bratwurst (or other sausages) with potatoes and zucchini so you can make your main dish and sides all in one – for a hearty, rich dinner right from the same sheet pan!

While this dish contains potatoes, we’re also including notes below on how you can make a delicious keto sausage bake with a simple swap for cauliflower instead of potatoes – so don’t shy away from this recipe if you’re staying low carb.

You can also swap out some of the vegetables we have for others, and use other types of sausages, using our notes below.

What Sausage To Bake On a Sheetpan

You can pick different sausages for this dinner – look for something roughly bratwurst sized.

If you chose a pre-cooked sausage (some bratwurst, polska kielbasa, or other smoked sausages) reduce their cook-time as you’ll want to bake them for flavor – but they won’t need as much as they are already cooked.

• Italian Sausage
• Bratwurst
• Polska Kielbasa – reduce cooktime as it will be pre-cooked

Vegetables To Bake With Sausages

This dish is perfect for an easy meal since you’re cooking a side dish right along with your sausage – so feel free to swap out vegetables to whatever you have on hand or whatever you’re craving!

How To Tell When Sausage is Done

Sausage, especially sausages with some herbs, can look pink even when fully cooked – and some can look cooked, when not yet at a food safe temperature.

Because sausage is ground, and stuffed into casing, there is more opportunity for bacteria to grow – so please fully cook sausages, everytime you cook them.

For this reason we strongly recommend using adigital food thermometer to gauge when your sausage is done cooking.

Sausage is considered free from food-borne illness and done cooking at 160 degrees.
