The sheet pan dinner trend is, in my opinion, absolutely brilliant. These meals are simple and quick to throw together, and everything is prepared using one pan…which means less clean-up time. It’s not easy to come up with healthy dinner ideas for your family, but a sheet pan dinner can be reworked in so many different ways. Vary the protein, vary the veggies, and the possibilities are endless!

Autumn Sheet Pan Recipe Simple Ingredients

Marketside Apple Chicken Sausage: less fat and calories than regular sausage, and the best blend of tangy and sweet flavors.
Gold potatoes: creamy and perfect for roasting.
Petite carrots: flavorful and small.
Fresh green beans: Adds color and they’re so healthy!
Paul Newman’s Lemon Basil Vinaigrette: a very nice blend and so easy to use.
A fresh lemon: optional, but it adds an extra hint of lemon.
Salt + pepper: add what you want. Keep in mind that potatoes need a bit more salt than the vegetables. Kosher salt or sea salt are good choices.
Fresh basil: picked from the pot out my back door!

Is apple chicken sausage fully cooked?

Yes! All you are doing when you bake it on the sheet pan is heating it. No worries about getting it done enough, or dealing with raw meat.

Recipe Variations

My husband prefers his vegetables separated, but it’s perfectly fine to toss everything together after you add the green beans.
This recipe is super easy to adapt to the tastes of your family. Substitute any combination of vegetables for the carrots and green beans. Any kind of potato can be used as well. This dinner is a great way to clean out the refrigerator!
Any kind of oil-based salad dressing can be substituted for the Paul Newman’s. Plain olive oil would be delicious as well. If using plain olive oil, sprinkle the veggies and potatoes with some garlic powder for added taste. Balsamic vinegar would also be a very tasty addition.
It’s fine to slice the sausage links before baking.
Serve with fresh croissants, crusty French bread, or savory garlic knots.

Tips for Baking

It’s very helpful to prepare your ingredients so everything is a similar size. Cubes should be under 1 inch, and slices should be thin. You have three options when it comes to the cook time for sheet pan dinners.

Similar Cook Times

You can choose ingredients that have very similar cook times, and that are chopped/sliced all the same size.

Stagger Cook Times

You can stagger putting your ingredients in the oven, like I did for this recipe. Ingredients that take longer to cook go in first, followed by ingredients that cook quickly.

Use the Microwave

If you have ingredients that take longer to cook than others, microwave the ones with the longer cook times before placing them on the sheet pan.

More Tips

If you are feeding a larger number of people, don’t stress about fitting all of the ingredients on one sheet pan. Just use two…but make sure they both fit in your oven at the same time.
If you want a crispy layer on the top of your ingredients, simply switch your oven over to the broiler setting at the end of the cook time. Watch it closely…it should only take a minute or two.
It’s unlikely, but if you have leftovers, they can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days.
