Pin ItIf you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, you have come to the right place. This Sheet Pan Sausage and Peppers recipe only takes 25 minutes to make and is always a dinner winner.
Sheet pan meals are the BEST! I love that dinner is made on ONE pan, easy to make and easy to clean up! This recipe couldn’t be any simpler.
Toss everything on a large sheet pan and roast in the oven. The sausage gets a little crispy, but is still super juicy. The peppers and onions caramelize, making them super sweet and irresistible.
You can serve the meal as is, eat right off the sheet pan or transfer to a plate and enjoy! But this is also a great meal prep recipe because you can use the sausage and peppers to make pasta or hoagies with melted provolone cheese. You can also serve with rice, potatoes, eggs, and more!

This simple yet delicious dinner was easy to throw together on a busy weekend night. We ate it with rice.
Thank you!
It’s so good with rice!
Yes, this sheet pan recipe is delicious and I’m normally not a fan of sheet pan dinners. Very flavorful! I used apple-chicken sausage for mine but otherwise followed recipe exactly. Served this over rice pilaf with ciabatta bread. Great meal for a weekday.
Glad you loved it.
Made this for dinner one night last week when we were busy and it was so delicious and easy to cook! I served it on buns and my son and hubby loved it!! Thank you for another keeper recipe Maria!
So glad you loved it!
Great flavors and super yummy! Will definitely make again.
Such a good easy meal!
This is delicious, full of flavor! I used fresh sausage, browned it until almost done, then followed the rest of the recipe. I served it on buttered toasted hoagie rolls with melted Provolone. So good! I love your recipes Maria.
Thank you!
