What is A Sheet Pan Dinner?

Have you seen the name “sheet pan dinners” and ever wondered what they are, exactly?

A sheet pan dinner involves baking or air frying the entire meal together in one pan. This could mean baking chicken legs with potatoes and veggies or sausage and veggies (like this one!).

Is a sheet pan dinner the same thing as a casserole? No, not exactly. Even though a casserole contains the meat and veggies in one dish, it usually has a creamy or savory sauce as an added topping.

Sheet Pan Sausage and Veggies Ingredients

Sausage: Thinly slice one package of fully-cooked smoked chicken or turkey sausage.
Onion: Use red onion for the boldest flavor.
Squash: Slice a yellow squash.

Broccoli Florets: Chop up and use just the broccoli florets from a head of broccoli.
Garlic Cloves: Use as many garlic cloves as you want.
Olive Oil: This is to coat the veggies so they get crispy.
Italian Seasoning: Add enough to lightly cover all of the sausage and veggies.
Salt and Pepper: This enhances all the other flavors.
Italian Parsley: Chop it up and add it at the end, right before you serve it.
