One Pan Potatoes And Sausage
This one pan sausage and veggies recipe has become one of the most popular I’ve shared! Since I first posted it, many of you have asked for different ways to make it, and I’ve enjoyed sharing those ideas here.
This One Pan Potatoes and Sausage is a simple, lighter twist on a classic meat and potatoes dish. You get tasty sausage and potatoes, plus added veggies and a delicious spice blend for great flavor.
This meal makes a well rounded dinner that’s easy to make. One pan, one spice mix, quick prep, and hardly any cleanup.
Ingredients
- Potatoes: Halving them lets them cook faster and get crisp edges.
- Baby Carrots: Keep whole to stay moist and caramelize a bit while roasting.
- Seasonings: Make the seasoning mix once and use it twice in the recipe.
- Olive Oil: Helps in roasting, adding a light, flavorful coating to the dish.
- Asparagus: Snap off tough ends; they break naturally at the right spot.
- Yellow Onion: Slice thinly so it cooks at the same rate as other ingredients.
- Turkey Sausage: Slice into coins for even cooking.
- Minced Garlic: Add halfway through cooking to avoid burning.
- Freshly Grated Parm: Sprinkle on right after baking to let it melt slightly.
Quick Tip
If you don’t use a large sheet pan, cooking will take longer than listed. With plenty of space, the veggies and sausage roast better, getting caramelized edges and cooking faster.
How To Make One Pan Potatoes & Sausage
- Prep Oven: Preheat to 400°F; line a sheet pan.
- Season & Roast: Toss potatoes and carrots with oil and seasoning; roast.
- Add Ingredients: Add asparagus, onion, sausage, garlic, oil, and seasoning. Mix.
- Final Roast: Roast once more. Top with Parm and parsley. Enjoy!
One Pan Potatoes And Sausage Tips
- Use a Big Sheet Pan: For the best results, use a 15×21 inch sheet pan so the veggies don’t overlap, letting them roast nicely instead of steam.
- Top with Parmesan: Grate Parmesan finely so it melts smoothly over the veggies and sausage.
- Cut Veggies Evenly: Make sure all veggies are about the same size to cook evenly.
- Choose Small Baby Carrots: Smaller carrots cook well in the time given.
- Pick Your Potatoes: Use baby reds or Yukon golds. Reds are hearty, while golds are buttery. Just cut them small for even cooking.

One-Pan Potatoes and Sausage
Equipment
- Sheet pan 15 x 21-inch, see note 1
- Parchment paper
Ingredients
- 1 pound baby red potatoes or baby Yukon gold potatoes
- 8 ounces petite baby carrots half of a 16-ounce bag
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper
- 1/4 cup olive oil divided
- 8 ounces asparagus 2 cups
- 1/2 large yellow onion
- 1 (13-ounce) package skinless smoked sausage I use turkey sausage
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a very large sheet pan (15×21-inches) with parchment paper for easier clean-up (optional).
- Halve the baby red potatoes (or cube if they are larger). If not using baby potatoes, cut potatoes into 1-inch pieces. In a small bowl, mix together all the seasonings: dried basil, thyme, oregano, paprika, onion powder, and salt and pepper (I use a heaping 1/4 teaspoon of salt and pepper). Mix together.
- Place the halved red potatoes and baby carrots on the sheet pan. Pour 2 tablespoons olive oil and half the seasoning mix on top. Toss to combine and place in the oven for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare asparagus by snapping off the ends and cutting into 2-inch pieces. Measure to get 2 cups asparagus. Thinly slice 1/2 of a yellow onion (1/4-inch thick slices). Cut sausage into 1/2-inch thick coins.
- Remove potatoes and carrots from the oven, and using a spatula, push them to one side of the pan. On the other side, add the chopped asparagus, sliced onion, sausage, and minced garlic. Add remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and remaining seasoning mix. Toss to combine, then toss everything together with the potatoes and carrots. Make sure to space out veggies/sausage; if the ingredients overlap, the bake time will be longer, and the veggies will steam instead of roast.
- Bake another 10–15 minutes or until veggies are roasted to your desired preference. Top the dish with freshly grated Parmesan and fresh parsley as desired. Enjoy immediately.

Making this for dinner tonight and it was so easy to put together and it smells great!
So happy to hear that!
Quite tasty and easy cleanup. Love the sheet pan dishes. Thanks.
So glad to hear that! Thanks for the comment 🙂
I am not a cook! But my wife challenged me to make dinner while she was busy preoccupied with a virtual meeting. The instructions were easy to follow, ingredients easy to find (a real task in our kitchen) and results easy to celebrate. I had no asparagus and saw that the lack of green diminished the meal’s presentation, so my wife suggested I could have used green beans instead. That kind of thinking is why I am not a cook – but I was tonight, thanks to your recipe.
Yay! So thrilled this turned out well and it was enjoyed! 🙂 Congrats on the successful meal!
I’ve made this dish MANY MANY times in the past few years. Usually without the sausage, as a side dish. Great for large family gatherings, everyone loves it. Thank u for a quick, great recipe!
You’re so welcome! Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment 🙂
So very delish and easy to do!!
Thanks Vicki! 🙂
Can’t wait to make this. No asparagus lovers here, what should we substitute? Green beans? Broccoli?
I hope you enjoy! You can sub for either of those veggies! 🙂
This was super good. It took a fair amount of effort to make, but wasn’t difficult to make…just moderately time consuming. Took around an hour from start to finish. I tossed the ingredients to mix them with the seasoning in a bowl before putting on the sheet instead of tossing them on the sheet like instructed. Mixing in the bowl first worked well to get everything fully coated.
So happy you enjoyed! Thanks so much Megan! 🙂
This is my go to recipe when I need to deliver a meal to a friend. In fact, it’s in the oven now! Plus it’s always a big hit with my family! Thanks for sharing.
I’m so happy to hear that! Thanks Sandra! 🙂
