Sausage & Sweet Potato Sheet Pan Dinner has all the flavors of fall, all in one easy sheet pan recipe!
This week’s cooking theme is, of course, easy dinners for a busy holiday week, and nothing fits the bill here better than an all-in-one sheet pan dinner! So, here’s my latest experiment along the easy weeknight dinners line: Sausage & Sweet Potato Sheet Pan Dinner. (This recipe is actually doubly thematic this week, because it’s not only easy, it also incorporates both harvest vegetables and savory Thanksgiving flavors.)
All you need to make your own sausage & sweet potato sheet pan dinner is a 14 oz smoked sausage or Polska kielbasa, plus a few veggies. Just chop and toss these together with olive oil & spices, and then roast everything together on one sheet pan until done. You can’t get much easier than that, and this particular easy sheet pan dinner takes just 45 minutes from start to finish.
Sausage & Sweet Potato Sheet Pan Dinner
Ingredients
1 large sweet potato, peeled and diced
8 oz broccoli florets, cut into large bite-sized pieces
8 oz baby bella mushrooms, halved (if large, cut in 3-4 pieces)
1/2 a medium yellow onion or one small one, cut in large chunks
14 oz smoked sausage or Polksa Kielbasa, sliced into thick coins
3 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp seasoned salt
1/2 tsp sage
1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp Italian seasoning
Black pepper, to taste
Directions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees and spray a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
Add sweet potato, broccoli, mushrooms, onion, and smoked sausage to a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and add all seasonings, then toss until sausage and veggies are well coated.
Arrange sausage and vegetables in a single layer on your prepared baking sheet (it’s OK if they’re a little crowded; they’ll shrink down). Roast at 425 degrees for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through, or until sweet potatoes are softened and everything else is nicely roasted.
Harvest Time Comfort Food
Today’s colorful sausage & sweet potato sheet pan dinner recipe is cousin to this sheet pan sausage, green bean, and potato dinner (yes, we do love the sheet pan dinners over here…) but changes up the vegetables and spices for a more harvest inspired flavor profile. Just a touch of sage and cinnamon work together to make this a satisfying & savory all-in-one dinner recipe for a cool fall or winter’s day.
Bonus: It will make your house smell like Thanksgiving! 😉 This sausage & sweet potato sheet pan dinner recipe is also naturally gluten free.

Sure. It will be a little mushier, but should work.

I forgot to grab kielbasa. I have chorizo and linguica on hand. Can I substitute one of those for the kielbasa?

I'd go with the linguica, but honestly haven't tried with an alternative sausage. If you do, let us know how it turns out! :)

Im making this for dinner tonight. Smells fabulous. Switched out broccoli and mushrooms for Apple and bell pepper. Also added a little maple syrup and brown butter to coat the veg. Tastes delicious. Took a bite to see if done yet. Will make again.
