Name: Sheet-pan sausage and vegetables
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 25 min
Total time: 40 min
Yield: 2 servings

Fully cooked chicken sausage roasted with broccoli, peppers and onion. This version is written for two people, with ingredient quantities that you can scale using the recipe card. Read the whole method before heating your pan so you can prepare the ingredients in the order they are used. Cooking times are estimates and should be checked against the doneness cues in the instructions.

What makes this dinner work

The fully cooked label is an important ingredient specification, not a small detail. Raw sausage needs its own cooking method and temperature checks.

Vegetables get a head start so the sausage does not have to stay in the oven for their entire cooking time. Spread everything out for more even roasting.

Before you start

Use a rimmed pan and oven mitts. Check the sausage ingredient label for any allergens or dietary restrictions.

Measure the sauce ingredients and prepare the vegetables before handling any raw meat or seafood. Keep the ingredient list beside you: changes in thickness, pan size and stove output can affect the cooking time. When multiplying servings, a second pan or separate batches may work better than crowding everything into the original pan.

Cooking and handling notes

Use fully cooked sausage, not raw sausage. Follow its reheating directions; a raw poultry sausage needs a different method and must reach 165°F (74°C).

The CDC guidance linked below covers keeping hands and surfaces clean, separating raw foods and refrigerating perishable food promptly. Check ingredient labels for allergies, including wheat, dairy, eggs, soy, peanuts and seafood where relevant.
