Why You'll Love This Recipe
Easy to make - you only need a handful of ingredients to whip this up.
One pan meal - no mess and no fuss when everything is on one sheet.
Allergy-friendly - naturally dairy-free, gluten-free, and paleo there is also a whole30 option if needed.
Delicious - delicious simplicity of easy vegetables in a homemade honey garlic dressing.
Ingredients You Need
Raw sausages - any sausages will work (chicken sausage, pork, or turkey sausage). Make sure they are gluten-free or whole30 compliant as needed. Slice them thinly so that they cook on par with the vegetables.
Green beans - wash and trim off the ends. Fresh green beans work best for this sheet pan dinner as frozen green beans will release too much liquid.
Cherry tomatoes - will give a burst of freshness to the pan.
Avocado oil - is used for the honey garlic sauce. Any neutral oil (like olive oil) will work but avocado oil has a high heat point.
Garlic - I like to mince the garlic so it's distributed evenly. You can purchase minced garlic in water or garlic powder to save time!
Coconut aminos - this is a whole30-approved type of soy sauce. Know that regular soy sauce works fine but make sure it's gluten-free if needed.
Honey - used to sweeten the sheet pan meal. Read further for a whole30 swap!
Substitutions
There are a few ways you can make this sheet pan meal unique and customized to your personal preference.
Sausages - the flavor you choose will affect the taste of the dish. This recipe was made with both mild Italian, pork sausages as well as honey garlic ones. Opt for a spicy sausage to take the dinner heat up a notch!
Vegetables - change up your vegetables to change up the meal! Root vegetables like carrots or beets are a tasty choice as is chopped cauliflower. Obviously, cooking times will vary.
For vegetables that are thicker you’ll want to chop or slice them very thinly so that they cook in just thirty minutes. Check out this One-Pan Mediterranean Pork Chops for another super speedy dinner recipe!
Can I Add Potatoes?
This sausage and veggies dinner was made to be Whole30-approved. Thus, no potatoes.
If that isn’t a concern to you then, of course, you can use potatoes!
Mini potatoes work best and you’ll want to make sure you quarter them so that they crisp up nicely.
Tips For Cooking
- Make sure to have the sausages placed on the outside of the pan and the vegetables in the middle. This makes it so the sausages cook fully and the vegetables don't overcook
- The “dressing’ doesn’t look like enough. However, when the sausages cook and release their juice it evens out
- Soya sauce can be used in place of coconut aminos if not following a paleo diet
- Omit the honey or use date paste if you need to make this recipe whole30-approved
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Heat in the oven, on the stove, or in intervals in the microwave.
How To Serve It
Serve the recipe as-is with some sauerkraut or make this into a bigger meal to stretch the dinner.
If you need a heartier meal do this:
- Serve it over cooked spaghetti squash to keep it light and paleo-approved.
- If you don't care about the paleo front, serving it over cooked rice or mixed into gluten-free noodles works too!
