You know those days when dinner rolls around and you don’t know what you want to make for dinner? Or you’ve been running around all evening and need something quick to throw together that everyone will enjoy? That’s where this Sweet Potato, Brussels sprouts and Chicken Sausage Sheetpan Meal comes in. It doesn’t get much easier than this, all made on one pan and cooked together! You can switch it up with the chicken sausage that you prefer as there are so many different flavors!
This also works well as a meal prep option for the week too! If you want something that you can separate into containers and have for a couple lunch or dinners, this is a great option! It reheats easily in the microwave and I’ll enjoy it hot or cold (personal preference though!). If you want to switch up how you enjoy it, I like to top it on greens with a different sauce like hummus or a drizzle of a homemade one like the creamy jalapeno sauce below.

Ingredients
- 4 cups brussels sprouts, chopped
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, chopped

- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- for the creamy jalapeno sauce:
- 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
- 1 cup cilantro
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1/2 jalapeno (remove seeds)
- 1 garlic clive
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- dash of sea salt
- dash of pepper
- 2-3 tbsp water (for desired consistency)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Chop sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts, and chicken sausage
- Place veggies on the baking tray (I recommend using a silicone baking mat so it won't stick) and spray with avocado oil spray, top with sea salt, pepper and garlic powder.
- Bake for 20 minutes.
- Take out of the oven and add chicken sausage, flip sweet potato and brussels sprouts. Bake for additional 20 minutes.
- Prepare jalapeno sauce by adding all ingredients to a blender. Set aside.

Notes
I recommend using oil spray to evenly coat the veggies.
Try not to roast veggies too close to one another to prevent from steaming instead of roasting.
Evenly chopping veggies will turn out best!
until next time...
