Helpful Tips for Making Sheet Pan Meals
- This recipe uses spicy and smoky seasoned Italian sausages and a sweet red onion. roasted together on one sheet pan. On a separate pan, cubed zucchini, yellow squash and sweet mini peppers. This is to ensure that there's plenty of room for everything to roast beautifully.
- You may use any flavor of sausage that you enjoy. Brats, andouille sausage, kielbasa or your favorite flavor of chicken sausage for a lighter take.
- Due to the fact I cook for a family, it takes 2 pans to make the amount that I need for my crew. However, this can easily be adapted when cooking for 2 and you may only need one pan to make enough for your meal.
- The amounts of vegetables can easily be adapted using more. or less.
- Keep in mind when roasting vegetables, it's important to arrange everything in a single layer for the best browning results. Otherwise, the vegetables won't roast, they'll steam.
- Parmesan cheese can also be eyeballed adjusting the amounts to your personal preference.

What kind of peppers are you using? Other than bell peppers, not seeing anything at the grocery store referred to as a sweet pepper. There are chilacas and the typical peppers. I am shopping online so maybe overlooking? What do you rec? Thank you for your help!
Melissa
You can use any peppers you like but red, yellow and orange bell peppers are by their very essence sweeter than the unripened green bell pepper. Feel free to use whatever you like.

Hi Melissa
Do I spray just the onions with spray or onions and sausages.
Melissa
Hi Jackie, I usually spray the onions AND sausages. I don't drizzle that pan with oil because the sausages tend to release their own juices and with that some fat. There's no wrong way though so, if you want to drizzle go for it. ☺
