Sweet Potato, Brussels sprouts and Chicken Sausage Sheetpan Meal
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 cashew cilantro sauce below or a Primal Kitchen dressing.
What you need:
- Sweet Potatoes
- Brussels Sprouts
- Chicken & Apple Chicken Sausage (or any of your favorites!)
Benefits of a one pan meal:
- Less of a mess since it’s all cooked on one pan!
- Perfect for an easy weeknight meal
- Can be used as prep for the week!
- Many ways to switch them up
I always get asked what chicken sausage I like to use and here are some of my favorites:
- Aidells Chicken & Apple Sausage (this is the one that I used here!)
- Trader Joe’s Organic Chicken Sausage
- Trader Joe’s Jalapeño Chicken Sausage
Drizzle a sauce on top to finish it off! Here are some of my favorites:
- Cashew Cilantro Sauce
- Trader Joe’s Jalapeno Sauce
- Chipotle Basil Pesto Sauce
What I used to make this sheetpan meal:
- Baking Sheet
- Silicone Baking Pads
- Avocado Oil Spray (I get mine at Trader Joe’s!)
What is the best way to store this?
This sheetpan meal makes for a great leftover meal! I store any leftovers in sealed containers in the fridge. I like to use these!
