How to Make a Healthy Sheet Pan Dinner

Grab a large sheet pan and preheat your oven to 400 degrees.

Chopped up carrots, sweet potatoes, cauliflower, onions, brussle sprouts, and broccoli on a sheet pan

Cut all your veggies:

Sweet potatoes are peeled and chopped into ½ to 1 inch cubes
Onion are peeled and cut into ⅛th’s
Cauliflower & Broccoli are cut into large florets
Carrots are peeled and cut into ¼ inch thick coins
Trim the stem on the Brussel Sprouts and cut in them in half

Put all the vegetables on the sheet pan and drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss everything around with clean hands so it is all coated with oil.

Pop that into the preheated oven for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile cut the sausage link into about 20 pieces.

Pull the sheet pan of veggies from the oven, they will be about half way cooked. Give them a good toss with a spatula and then add the sausage to the pan, right on top of the vegetables.

Put it back in the oven for an additional 12 minutes. This will warm the sausage thru and start to caramelize the veggies.

While the sheet pan dinner finishes, go ahead and make the smoked paprika vinaigrette. In a mason jar, mix together all the vinaigrette ingredients:

olive oil
apple cider vinegar
honey
dijon mustard
garlic clove
smoked paprika

Put the lid on the jar and shake it vigorously, until all the ingredients are emulsified together. If you do not have mason jars (read: go get some) use a bowl and whisk.

(Kitchen tip: I do not recommend adding salt to your vinaigrette. The veggies and sausage are salty enough! Promise.)

Once you pull the sheet pan out the oven, drizzle the vinaigrette over the veggies and beef. Give it a toss with a spatula to distribute the vinaigrette and it’s time to eat.

Make Ahead Dinner

If you know that you are going to have a really busy week, this is a great dinner to prep and have in the fridge for later!

Simply cut all the veggies and place them in an airtight container for up to 2 days. You can also prep the vinaigrette in a mason jar and keep it in the fridge.
