This One-Pan Potatoes and Sausage is a simple but tasty meal with roasted garlic and herb potatoes, asparagus, carrots, onions and sausage, all prepared on one sheet pan. It’s an easy family-friendly meal.

Pair this simple and hearty dinner with a light salad like thisfruit salad recipe or thisquinoa apple salad.

One-Pan Potatoes and Sausage

The One-pan Sausage and veggies recipe has ended up being one of the most popular recipes I’ve ever shared. Since developing this, so many of you have asked for variation ideas. I’ve loved coming up with those and sharing them here.

This One-Pan Potatoes and Sausage aims to please those meat-and-potato eaters in a lighter, more nutritious way. We’re still getting meat (sausage) and potatoes (yum!), but adding more veggies into the mix, a killer spice mix for flavor (without extra calories), and healthful fats (olive oil).

This meal is such a great well-rounded dinner, and it’s also crazy simple to make. One sheet pan, one spice blend, minimal prep and very minimal clean up.

One-Pan Potatoes and Sausage process overview

This recipe is fun because we get hearty veggies that typically take a long time to roast (the carrots and potatoes) while also getting in veggies that don’t take near as long (onion and asparagus). The secret? Staggering the cook times. It actually even makes everything go quicker because while the first half of this dinner is roasting, you have time to prepare the rest of it!

Below is a quick overview of how to make One-Pan Potatoes and Sausage. There is also a quick (under 1 minute) video on this post if you’d prefer to watch it!

Start by tossing together the seasoning mix. While we get the oven nice and hot, quickly mix the seasonings. The seasoning blend is made once and used twice in this dish!
Once the seasoning is prepped, chop the potatoes and open the bag of carrots (no chopping there!). Add both to the pan with some olive oil and half the seasonings. Roast.
Meanwhile, thinly slice the sausage and the onion, and coarsely chop the asparagus into 2-inch pieces. Garlic can also be minced here, or the pre-minced jarred variety can be used to save prep time.
The sheet pan is removed and carrots and potatoes get pushed to one side of the sheet pan. On the other side, we add the sausage, asparagus, onion, some more olive oil, the rest of the seasoning mix and the minced garlic. Toss it all together and continue roasting.
And that’s it! You’ve got your meat, potatoes, veggies and all deliciously seasoned in one sheet pan and in under an hour of time. Enjoy!

QUICK TIP

Ever wonder if you should select the roast or bake option on your oven? It really makes no difference. Roasting and baking are both dry heat methods of preparing something in the oven. The two settings are listed to make users feel comfortable. The difference between the two methods is what happens while food is in the oven. Baking usually changes the form of food from liquid, paste, dough, or powders to solid form. Roasting usually does not change the form of the food but makes it more tender or well-done and usually adds a fat of some sort.

What type of sausage to use

I recommend using smoked sausage for this recipe. We love using hardwood smoked turkey sausage (to keep this recipe on the healthier side). We’ve also used chicken sausage and enjoyed that.

One Pan Potatoes and Sausage tips

Use an extra-large sheet pan. The more space the vegetables and sausage have (and the less-crowded they are) the better they roast in the oven. When vegetables are overlapping on a sheet pan, they end up steaming instead of roasting which results in softer, somewhat soggy-tasting veggies. I recommend using a (this) 15×21 inch sheet pan for One-Pan Potatoes and Sausage. (See quick tip).
Add some Parmesan cheese on top for the perfect finishing touch. I recommend grating the Parmesan cheese with a microplane, which gives it a great texture and allows the cheese to melt beautifully into the veggies and sausage.
Cut vegetables into roughly equal sizes. This ensures even roasting so there aren’t some under-cooked veggies and some over-cooked.
Choose petite baby carrots. For best results on cooking time, make sure to get petite baby carrots; these are quite thin and small and cook up in the recipe’s indicated time.
Pick your favorite potatoes. We love baby reds and also love baby Yukon golds in this meal. Use whichever you’d prefer — Yukon golds have a more delicate and buttery flavor while red potatoes are more hearty and savory. Whichever potatoes you use, make sure they are cut small enough to roast in time with everything else.

QUICK TIP

If an extra-large sheet pan isn’t used, the cooking time will be longer than the recipe indicates. When the veggies and sausage have plenty of room to roast, they’ll develop beautiful, caramelized edges and cook faster.

Equipment

15x21-inch sheet pan (See Note 1)

Ingredients

▢ 1 pound baby red potatoes (or baby Yukon gold potatoes)
▢ 8 oz. (1/2 of a 16-oz bag) petite baby carrots
▢ 1 teaspoon EACH: dried basil, dried thyme, dried oregano, and paprika
▢ 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
▢ Fine sea salt and cracked pepper
▢ 1/4 cup olive oil separated
▢ 8 oz. (2 cups) asparagus
▢ 1/2 large yellow onion
▢ 1 package (13 oz.) skinless smoked sausage (we use turkey sausage)
▢ 1 tablespoon minced garlic
▢ 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
▢ Optional: fresh parsley

US - Metric

Instructions

PREP: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a very large sheet pan (15x21-inches) with parchment paper for easier clean-up (optional).
POTATOES AND CARROTS: Halve the baby red potatoes (or cube if they are larger). If not using baby potatoes, the potato pieces should be cut to ~1-inch pieces. In a small bowl, mix together all of the seasonings: the dried basil, thyme, oregano, paprika, onion powder, and salt and pepper (I use a heaping 1/4 teaspoon of salt and pepper). Mix together.
BAKE: Place the halved red potatoes and baby carrots on the sheet pan. Pour 2 tablespoons of olive oil and half of the seasoning mix on top. Toss to combine and place in the oven for 20 minutes.
ASPARAGUS, ONION, AND SAUSAGE: Meanwhile, prepare the asparagus by snapping off the ends and cutting into 2-inch pieces. Measure to get 2 cups asparagus. Thinly slice 1/2 of a yellow onion (1/4-inch thick slices). Cut the sausage into 1/2-inch thick coins.
ADD TO SHEET PAN: Remove the potatoes and carrots from the oven and using a spatula, push them to one side of the pan. On the other side, add in the chopped asparagus, sliced onion, sausage, and minced garlic. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and remaining seasoning mix. Toss to combine and then toss everything together with the potatoes and carrots. Make sure to space out veggies/sausage; if the ingredients are overlapping, the bake time will be longer and the veggies will steam instead of roast.
BAKE AGAIN: Bake for another 10-15 minutes or until veggies are roasted to your desired preference. Top the dish with freshly grated Parmesan and fresh parsley as desired. Enjoy immediately.

Recipe Notes

Note 1: Use an extra-large sheet pan. The more space the vegetables and sausage have (the less-crowded they are), the better they roast in the oven. When vegetables are overlapping on a sheet pan, they end up steaming instead of roasting which results in softer, somewhat soggy-tasting veggies.

Hello – I’ve made this for my family several times, and we love it. On some of your other sheet pan recipes, you mention serving over rice or quinoa. Do you think this one also would be good served over rice? I am cooking for 10 on Monday and hoping to stretch two batches of this recipe to feed 10 because I only can fit two pans in my oven at the same time. Thank you!

Finally a sheet pan dinner that tastes better than “ehhh, it’s alright.” I only had broccoli on hand and added yams/sweet potatoes for the adults. Doubled everything but the meat and used two pans. Spices were just enough and not over powering. Thank you!

This was fantastic, roasted root vegetables has become my favorite go-to dinner lately. Added bonus: the leftovers (if there are any!) make great “bubble and squeak”, that is, chop it up, sautee on a skillet and top with a fried egg. So good!

This was super good. It took a fair amount of effort to make, but wasn’t difficult to make…just moderately time consuming. Took around an hour from start to finish. I tossed the ingredients to mix them with the seasoning in a bowl before putting on the sheet instead of tossing them on the sheet like instructed. Mixing in the bowl first worked well to get everything fully coated.

1. So happy you enjoyed! Thanks so much Megan! 🙂

Can’t wait to make this. No asparagus lovers here, what should we substitute? Green beans? Broccoli?

I am not a cook! But my wife challenged me to make dinner while she was busy preoccupied with a virtual meeting. The instructions were easy to follow, ingredients easy to find (a real task in our kitchen) and results easy to celebrate. I had no asparagus and saw that the lack of green diminished the meal’s presentation, so my wife suggested I could have used green beans instead. That kind of thinking is why I am not a cook – but I was tonight, thanks to your recipe.

I made this with Beyond Sausage and really liked flavor. I’d make a couple changes re; cooking skills, but the recipe was really good.
I’ve been learning to cook with something more than salt, pepper & season salt for 6 months, and I have a lot to learn. Recipes like these have been amazing for so many reasons, like learning what spices to use and how much..
