Why I love this recipe.
I used to only think of a meal as a main dish and two sides. Instead of thinking of a meal in three separate parts, I have started merging them together when it works. A sheet pan meal is the perfect example of why. Everything can be prepared and made in one pan, baked or roasted, and a whole meal is made. This recipe is an ode to all the fall vegetables. Sweet potatoes, Brussels Sprouts, and onion are roasted to a crispy golden color alongside sausages. The magic happens before serving when you make a quick Dijon mustard vinaigrette to add a pop of flavor. This is so good and so easy it doesn’t feel possible.
Everything you’ll need to make this recipe.
- Sausage is the main protein in this recipe. The best part about using these readily available links is that they cook quickly and are packed with flavor. It makes for the perfect weeknight meal!
- Brussels sprouts are such a delicious burst of vegetal flavor, all in one bite. When sliced in half and added to the sheet pan with other vegetables, they caramelize beautifully with a bit of sweetness and slightly crispy edges.
- Sweet potato, when diced into cubes, is the perfect bit of sweetness for this sheet pan meal. After roasting, they have a crisp exterior while the interior stays tender. Plus, they pack a hefty amount of nutrients and are super filling.
- Sage and thyme are two delicious fall-inspired herbs that work so well in this sheet pan meal.
- Maple syrup adds just the right amount of sweetness that also hints at the fall season.
Here’s how to make this recipe.
- Prepare the vegetables. Clean the Brussels sprouts and remove part of the stem. Then, cut each one in half. Chop the sweet potato into bite-sized pieces. Roughly chop the red onion. Mince the sage and strip the thyme off its stem. Add the vegetables to a parchment-lined sheet pan and sprinkle the herbs over top. Drizzle olive oil over the top and toss everything together with your hands. Spread evenly across the pan and season with salt and pepper.
- Add the sausages. Nestle the sausages amongst the vegetables, making sure they have contact with the pan.
- Bake the dish. Place the sheet pan into a 425°F oven with convection fans on (if possible) for 20 to 25 minutes. If using an oven without a convection mode, flip everything on the pan halfway through cooking.
- Create the vinaigrette. In a small bowl, add minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, kosher salt, black pepper, and olive oil. Whisk until combined and drizzle over top. Garnish with feta cheese.
These pro tips will make this recipe a success.
- Chop the vegetables into similarly-sized pieces. This will make everything roast at about the same rate, allowing the dish to cook fully and consistently in the oven.
- If possible, use the convection setting on your oven. This turns fans on, which makes the warm air circulate throughout the oven, evenly browning the vegetables from all sides.
- While mincing the sage, stack the leaves and roll them up tightly, then chop from one end to the other. This can make it easier and quicker to mince, plus you can chop in a more uniform size.
- If you raise your hand higher above the pan while salting, the salt gets spread more evenly. Because it’s spread more consistently, you also end up using less overall.
- If you want to reduce the sharpness of the garlic, let it sit in the apple cider vinegar for 5 to 15 minutes before adding the rest of the vinaigrette ingredients.

I enjoyed this recipe and it was good – meaning, I will make it again, but next time I’ll limit the dressing. I don’t think it needed it. I served it with some crusty bread. I’m feeling fall feelings! I might sprinkle a little cumin and crushed red pepper before roasting. (What do you think?)
Thanks
Hi!
Yes, you can easily adjust the spices and try others you may like. Cumin and red pepper would be perfect!
Made this for dinner this evening. It was delicious and so easy! Love it when there is not much cleanup. Will definitely make it again
Excellent recipe! I’ll usually roast regular potatoes in those kind of meals, but the sweet potatoes were a great change. The dressing was fantastic too, and added a lot to the dish. My three teenagers loved it, which is saying a lot! 🙂
I made the recipe as described except I used dried herbs. I really liked it. Each component added to the overall flavor.
YUM! This is a great, easy meal. It’s so nice that it’s all in one pan. The flavors are so delicious and the leftovers were so tasty! Thank you Kaleb!
Another delicious recipe, Kaleb!
I made this tonight using polish sausages (my store had them on sale).
Yum! A very tasty way to get more veggies. The vinaigrette is so tasty & we really loved the addition of the feta cheese. The whole thing came together rather quickly & clean up was a breeze.
I’ve made sheetpan sausage and veggies before but it’s the flavorful vinaigrette and feta in Caleb’s recipe that totally brought it to another level. The sweet potatoes and caramelized brussel sprouts are such a delicious combination. Perfect on an autumn day!
