Chicken Sausage and Harvest Veggies Sheet Pan
Chicken Sausage + Harvest Veggies Sheet Pan - All the fall feels on one sheet pan. This healthy fall inspired sheet pan recipe includes a sweet maple tahini dressing. Meal-prep, make-ahead, and weeknight friendly.
Sheet Pans - Without a doubt, the easiest thing to prepare if you fall into the categories of: busy, tired, and bored. Simple as that. All you have to do is cut (or use pre-cut/frozen) your veggies, slice sausage links, and place in the oven until ready to eat. While your meal is cooking, prepare a simple 3 ingredient dressing and that is it!
To save even more time, you can prepare the veggies and dressing the day before so when you are ready to heat up the oven, simply spread the veggies and protein on the sheet pan and let it cook. Come on people, I am just spoon feeding how easy this meal is to you! Haha
By using seasonal veggies, you don’t necessarily have to worry about flavor as much as seasonal produce are at its peak!
Meaning, less seasonings = less fuss. For this recipe, I season with little salt (because of the sausage) and use a simple everyday seasoning blend when seasoning the veggies.
To help round this meal out by incorporating healthy fats, I created a sweet and simple maple tahini dressing that pairs perfectly with the dish!
So either add this to your lunch meal prep rotation, weeknight dinner option, or keep it in your back pocket when you need to make something last minute - I promise you, you won’t regret it!
