Method
Step 1: Preheat and chop
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Chop the sweet potatoes into small cubes, broccoli into bite-sized florets, and the peppers into roughly 1-inch chunks. This ensures all the veggies roast evenly.
Step 2: Season the vegetables
Place the sweet potatoes, broccoli, and peppers on a sheet pan. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss everything directly on the pan until the veggies are fully coated, this is your simple easy sheet pan dinner seasoning step.
Step 3: Roast the vegetables
Remove the broccoli florets (as they dont take as long to cook) and leave them with the sausage. Roast the sweet potato and peppers in the oven for 30 minutes, until the sweet potatoes are tender and starting to caramelize. This is the perfect timing to get everything soft, flavorful, and slightly golden, a true sheet pan meal technique.
Step 4: Add the sausage
Slice the kielbasa and scatter it over the roasted vegetables along with the broccoli. Return the pan to the oven for 20 more minutes, until the sausage is heated through and golden at the edges. Now you have a perfect one pan meal with sausage and vegetables all done together.
Step 5: Serve and enjoy
Serve straight from the sheet pan for a rustic, family-friendly feel. This is one of the easiest easy one pan dinners you’ll make, and it’s hearty enough for dinner with minimal cleanup.
