👩🏻🍳 Eileen's Tips for Success
- A sprinkle of fresh parsley or spring onions works great as a garnish on this sheet pan supper.
- Slice potatoes into even-sized pieces so they cook at the same rate.
- Lining your baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil will make clean-up easier.
- You must use a large-rimmed baking sheet, you need the edges to prevent the juices from making a mess in the oven, and you don't want to overcrowd your baking pan, so grab the large one from the cabinet.
📖 Variations
- Potatoes: Don't have baby potatoes on hand? Swap them out and use sweet potatoes instead. You can also use large potatoes that are cut into smaller chunks instead.
- Protein: Don't want to use pork sausage? You can use turkey sausage or chicken sausage instead.
- Vegetables: Want to add different veggies to your sheet pan sausage dinner, try adding brussels sprouts, cherry tomatoes, sliced zucchini, or any other vegetables that you may enjoy.
- Seasonings: Adjust seasonings and try Italian seasoning, homemade seasoning salt, or a combination of onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper,
- Spice: Add a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper.
❄️ Make ahead, storage, and freezer tips
Make ahead: This delicious sheet pan meal is best when enjoyed freshly made. However, if you want to save a little more time in the kitchen you prep the vegetables and sausage ahead, and pop them on your baking dish and in the oven when you are ready for dinner.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
Freezing: I don't recommend freezing this meal. The texture of the potatoes will change when they are thawed and reheated.

No, they are not the same. Andouille sausage has a distinct flavor and is commonly used in Cajun and Creole dishes, while smoked sausage is a milder option often used in traditional American cooking. However, feel free to use whichever type of sausage you prefer for this dish.

How do you stop the veggies from burning before the potatoes are done cooking? Every single panmeal i have attempted the veggies start burning and I have to try and take them off.

If you are having an issue with the vegetables, try adding them a little bit into the cooking process so everything is done together.
