Sheet Pan Sausage, Peppers, Onions and Potatoes is one of my go-to weekly meals. Sausage links are simply roasted on a sheet pan with sliced peppers and onions, baby potatoes, and some pantry seasonings for a deliciously flavorful and easy meal. This recipe can be tailored to serve two people, or to feed a crowd.
Everything you need to know about sheet pan sausage, peppers, onions and potatoes
This recipe was born out of pure curiosity, and some laziness. Sausage and peppers was always a dish I made for my family, but usually it involved me frying peppers and onions, searing sausage links, and tons of splattering oil. Even though we really enjoyed eating this dish for meals, I dreaded making it. It required lots of standing at the stove babysitting a frying pan, and it made a mess. So lots of cooking time, and lots of clean up time. No thanks. One day I decided to try and replicate the recipe by roasting it all, and voila! This recipe was born. I honestly couldn’t believe how well this came out from the oven the first time I made it. Using a high temperature oven gives the sausage and veggies a nice golden color and crisp to them, similar to how searing them on the stove top would. The oven cooks the peppers and onions down until they are slightly caramelized, and they give off some natural sweetness. Over time, I started adding some baby potatoes to it, so that we had a built-in side dish. Dinner on one sheet pan? Done.
Versatility and adaptability of this recipe
What I love most about this recipe is how versatile it is; my husband won’t touch chicken sausage. I, on the other hand, love it as a healthy option. So when I make this recipe, I make chicken sausage for myself, and pork sausage for him. I cook them on the same sheet pan at the same time, and it works out perfectly. It’s a crowd-pleaser. The best part of this recipe is that you can tailor it to serve 1 person or 12. Just increase your number of sausage links and vegetables, but there’s no exact science here. Tailor this recipe to suit your needs: want to go low-carb? Omit the potatoes. And as for serving this? The options are endless. This is another area where this recipe is super versatile; my husband can make a sandwich with his portion on some crusty Italian bread, and I typically serve mine over mixed greens with some balsamic glaze drizzled on top. Sometimes I opt for the bread, too. This dish also makes excellent leftovers; it reheats really well by just popping it in the microwave.
What you’ll need to make sheet pan sausage, peppers, onions and potatoes
The ingredient list is really quite short; here’s all you’ll need:
- Premio Chicken Sausage links (or sausage of choice)
- click here for the store locator
- the calories and WW points calculated below are based off of this brand
- olive oil spray
- baby potatoes (you can omit this part if you’d like)
- bell peppers
- medium onions
- kosher salt
- black pepper
- dried oregano
- garlic powder
- dried bay leaves
You might be wondering…
Why Premio Chicken Sausage? After lots of trial and error, I found that this brand of chicken sausage tastes the most similar to original pork sausage in texture and flavor. This particular brand is 130 calories or 3 WW points per link. Even though there are lower calorie and lower point options out there, they don’t compare to traditional sausage. I also really like that they are sold raw. This allows me to control the cooking myself; most chicken sausage links are sold cooked. But again, it’s totally up to you which brand you choose for this recipe! Can I use precooked sausage links? You absolutely can use precooked sausage for this recipe. My word of advice would be to cook the peppers, onions and potatoes for a solid 30 minutes before adding the cooked sausage links on top. Since they just need to get some color on top, they don’t need to be in the oven for the full 45 minutes.
How to make sheet pan sausage, peppers, onions and potatoes
First, start by preheating your oven to 400F, and grab a sheet pan. Spray it generously with olive oil spray. In the time it takes for your oven to preheat, prep the other ingredients. Which is as simple as: thinly slicing the peppers and onions.
Arrange the sliced peppers and onions on the sprayed baking sheet. Then add the baby potatoes, kosher salt, pepper, garlic powder, oregano, and bay leaves. Add another spray of olive oil, and toss everything. Lastly, arrange your sausage links on top of the vegetables.
Pop the sheet pan in the oven, and set your timer for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, remove the pan from the oven, toss the vegetables using tongs, and flip the sausages. Return the sheet pan to the oven for the remaining 25 minutes.

We loved this!! I added mushrooms to the pan and used chicken sausage. I served it over a bed of mixed greens. So easy, delicious, quick and best of all filling!!
Has become a staple in our home!! Saves so much time from the traditional old school style I used to make sausage and peppers!!
Thank you so much for your instructions about using and when to add the pre-cooked sausages, which is what I have available… Adding the bay leaves, oregano and garlic powder is genius! Thank you for this great recipe!
We love this! Quick, easy and delicious!!! A go to on busy nights!!!
As an Italian girl from Brooklyn… thank you. Simplifying a meal while keeping it the same exact meal? Love it. Thank you!
I’ve made this recipe so many times and it’s stulla great hit at home. We use turkey sausages.
So 😋
This has become a favorite on our rotation! I don’t know how Steph does it, but the mixture of seasonings is just perfect! This is an easy throw together weeknight meal. I’ll usually prep the onion and peppers the night before and throw it all together when I get home from work. YUM!
My family loves this!! Specifically my teenage son. We add Brussel sprouts as well for extra veggies. Definitely a twice a month rotation!
So excited to make this! The sausage I’m using is fully cooked. Should I adjust the cooking times? Thanks!!
Yes!! I put that info in the text you’ll see!

Made this for dinner tonight and it was delicious and so filling! The seasoning was on point, as well! Thanks for another great recipe to add to our rotation!
So easy to throw together and delicious!
I was running late getting dinner on the table but knew I had this planned. In no time at all, everything was cut up and in the oven. Heated up part of a sourdough loaf to have on the side. Will be making this again.
Is the number of servings correct? It seems like it should be much more with 10 sausage links and all those vegetables. I don’t see how five people could eat all that.
Simple and delicious! Family favorite!
Do you serve anything else with this?
Delicious!
So simple and easy!
Loved, loved, loved this dish it was hard to comtrol myself from eating more Im on WW. Made it with hot chicken sausage. Yum!
This was way better than I imagined. I knew it would be good, but it was REALLY REALLY good. AND, we had 2 unexpected guests show up for dinner. I originally made 7-8 servings in the first place because we have 3 males between the ages of 16 and 43 that can eat hefty sized servings. Plus, us 2 ladies and 14-month-old princess. But the amount I made satisfied those 3 males, us 3 ladies, and 2 more ladies with some leftover to use for breakfast or lunch today. SUPER YUM! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! In my batch we had an original sweet Italian package of sausage, a turkey version and a chicken version. All Yummy! Thanks for this recipe.
This was so quick, easy and delicious!!
Have been making this recipe for quite some time. It’s so simple to put together but tastes as if it’s been an all day thing. Thankful for Steph putting this delicious masterpiece together!

Oh my god, this was so delicious and soooo easy. I served mine over mixed greens with balsamic drizzle like Steph mentioned above and I was completely satisfied. Definitely a new favorite in this house!!!!!!
I made this tonight, I used bratwurst because it’s what I had. So good!! And easy, definitely making again!
Looking back at my last few weeks of meal plans, this has been there every week so far this year! Stephanie makes it too easy to get dinner to the table without much effort!
add the potatoes and smash ’em folks! make them crispy.
This recipe is my go to when I just don’t know what else to cook. It feels really indulgent, without the guilt.
Super easy since i always have these ingredients on hand and really delicious. My sausage didn’t look as browned as the photo but who cares since it tasted so good.
Easiest, tastiest meal that is husband approved! He asks for this weekly.
Sheet pan dinners have never been top of my list to make. However, I decided to give this one a try & I love it! It’s so easy to make, but has a ton of flavor!
Love that this is one pan and done! So easy to throw together on a busy night and tastes delicious!
So easy to throw together!
I love this recipe! The real takeaway here is trying the sausage over arugula with red wine vinegar and balsamic glaze. I usually eat my sausage and peppers with a roll and then I usually am tempted to have another link. However, eating it with the arugula gave so much flavor and totally beat my craving for more.
Always a crowd pleaser and so quick and easy! I slice my sausage before I cook just because I like how each piece can get some crisp 🙂 over arugula is delish!
This couldn’t have been easier! Very delicious and filling.
Made this for dinner tonight and it was so good and so easy. Next time I’m going to try with bratwursts. But as a busy mom with a newborn and a 5 year old, this was so simple.
The best for 3 teenage boys and their friends for an afternoon snack
Quick easy and FLAVORFUL dinner for any night!
So easy and delicious! Love this recipe!
If you waited until the last second to think about cooking dinner, this recipe is for you. Super simple, quick and delicious! Enough for a family dinner that everybody will enjoy. Thanks Steph!
I finally made this tonight. So good.
I made this last night and it was so easy and delicious. Much better than the mess I usually make pan frying them.
This is way more delicious than it should be. I’m impressed and it was just so easy. I absolutely am adding this to my rotation to make all of the time!
thank you for the super easy comfort food idea!
Another great meal my whole family eats and easy to clean up after!
Excellent easy meal
Excellent! Quick prep and tastes good, whole family enjoyed!
So simple and easy dinner!!
Just another perfect recipe from SSS.
So good, easy to make and versatile enough to use any sausage you prefer.
Will definitely make again.
Easy and delicious!
My new favorite recipe. I use all the colors of peppers and three different kinds of potatoes. So good! Thanks 🙏
Not sure why it took me so long to try this one. Another winner! So easy and flavorful! Thanks Steph!
love this – i haven’t been able to find the spicy chicken in forever at my local market. I went to visit a friend an hour away and found them. Because of this recipe I came home with six packages!!! Long live my addiction of this meal.
So easy and so delicious!
Amazing! my family loved it and this would also make a good lunch for work. Quick and easy and the flavors are great
Oh thank you a healthier version…my hubby luvs brats…thus is an easy alternative
Weekly!
Great flavor and timing and solid explanation!
Great version of a sheet plan classic. Thank you. I love the addition of the spices and bay leaves. But why, oh why, use olive oil spray? It has no flavor. I tossed the potatoes and vegetables in a few teaspoons of good quality olive oil, and brushed the sausage with the same. It may make for a FEW more calories, but olive oil is healthy and the taste difference is significant.
1 pan….Winner!
No oil splatters all over the stove top ….Winner!
My clothes don’t smell like onions and peppers…Winner!
Easy prep…Winner!
Excellent taste…WINNER!!
