Roasted Andouille Sausage With Vegetables

Let me introduce you to the most thrilling sheet pan dinner of the century – the spicy, sizzling Andouille sausage combined with the oh-so-delicious sweet potatoes and our little cabbage friends, the Brussels sprouts.

Not only does this dish taste amazing, with its unique blend of spicy and sweet, but it also packs a nutritional punch, turning your dinner table into a haven of winter flavors. This sheet pan andouille sausage recipe is sure to make your cozy evenings even more memorable with its ease of preparation. Simple to make, this sausage dinner can be thrown together in a pinch and looks so appetizing when done!

What Is Andouille Sausage?

Similar to chorizo, andouille sausage is a dry, flavorful, spicy sausage with a heartier texture than other sausages, thanks to the inclusion of chopped smoked pork rather than just ground meats. It’s a staple of Cajun and Creole cooking, used in favorites like jambalaya and red beans and rice, and it makes a wonderful meal!

Ingredients

  • Andouille Sausage: You’ll need 12 ounces of andouille sausage, cut into 1-inch chunks.
  • Fresh Brussels Sprouts: Quarter the Brussels sprouts if they are large, and cut them in half if they are small.
  • Sweet Potato: Peel the sweet potato, and cut into ½-inch cubes. Sweet potatoes are more dense than sprouts and sausage, so the pieces need to be smaller.
  • Onion: I like to use a large yellow onion, cut into wedges. Feel free to substitute a red or white onion though!
  • Olive Oil: For drizzling.
  • Salt and Black Pepper: For seasoning to enhance all the flavors.
  • Italian Seasoning: You’ll need a teaspoon of dried Italian seasoning blend.
  • Dried Thyme and Oregano: One half teaspoon of each.
  • Garlic Powder and Onion Powder: These add intensity of flavor in a snap!

    How To Cook Andouille Sausage With Veggies

    This is one of the easiest ways to prepare dinner for the household without doing a whole lot of work and a whole lot of dishes. Like my sausage and peppers recipe, this sausage dinner cooks all at once on just one baking sheet. The result is a delicious meal that everyone enjoys. 

    1. Prepare the Oven and Pan. Preheat the oven to 400˚F, and spray a large rimmed baking sheet with cooking oil. I use this rimmed sheet pan.
    2. Arrange the Sausage and Veggies. Add prepared sausages, brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, and onion to the sheet pan.
    3. Season. Drizzle the sausages and veggies with olive oil. Season all over with the salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, thyme, oregano, garlic powder, and onion powder; mix and stir until everything is well combined.
    4. Roast. Bake for 15 minutes, and then stir. Continue to bake for 12 to 15 more minutes, or until the veggies are tender. Remove from the oven and serve.

    Roasting Tips

    • Spread Out: Don’t crowd your pan. Spread out the vegetables and sausages to ensure they roast rather than steam.
    • Seasonings: The seasonings are flexible! Try swapping Italian seasoning with Herbes de Provence or use fresh herbs if you have them on hand.
    • Easy Cleanup: Before spraying with oil, try lining your sheet pan with parchment or even foil for a quick and easy cleanup.
    • Crisp Up Quick: If you want crispier edges without overcooking the ingredients, try broiling for a minute or two after baking. The broiler is great for a quick shot of high heat to brown and crisp!
    • Veggie Substitutes: If Brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes aren’t on the menu, feel free to sub out other veggies with similar textures: think cabbage or broccoli for the sprouts, and parsnips or potatoes for the sweet potatoes. It’s up to you!

    Serving Suggestions

    A serving of my shrimp scampi would be excellent alongside this andouille sausage recipe. I’m also imagining this hearty dinner paired with a refreshing hard apple cider or these apple cider mimosas. For a filling accompaniment, try my creamy mashed cauliflower, which balances well with the sausages.

    To round out the menu, how about a cool bowl of strawberry cheesecake ice cream or this raspberry cottage cheese ice cream? It’s so delicious, you’ll make it again and again!

    Storing Leftovers

    • Refrigerate leftovers in airtight food storage bags or containers, for up to 3 days.
    • To reheat, place on a baking sheet and bake at 350 until heated through, stirring several times during cooking.

      So so good…11:30pm I am standing by the oven and stealing bite after bite straight from a baking sheet. It’s actually challenging to stop eating! 😀
      Ps. I used raw veal sausages, so delicious fat spread everywhere making veggies very tasty. I only wish I added a whole onion as it was really yum.

      I’ve actually been doing something similar, although using regular smoked sausage since the husband won’t touch andouille sausage. My favorite seasoning for it is one by Weber that has garlic and other seasonings all in one bottle. This makes me want to make it this week.

        I hope you enjoy it! Thank YOU! 🙂
