This fantastic sausage sheet pan dinner has all the things that make for a perfect weeknight meal: healthy, flavorful, and fast.

WHAT IS A SHEET PAN DINNER?

A sheet pan dinner is simply an entire meal that’s prepared together on one sheet pan. This means that it takes much less effort and cleanup, and it will be done at the same time. My sheet pan dinners tend to be a flavorful, lean protein with a type of vegetable alongside. So easy to eat healthier, even when you’re short on time!

For this sausage sheet pan dinner, I use my favorite sausage: al fresco all natural. They have many flavors to choose from, like Italian, Sweet Apple and Andouille Sausage. I love keeping several flavors on hand for easy meals, especially since we all love it!

The best part is that Rob and I love the spicier sausages but the girls prefer the mild flavors. This sheet pan dinner uses two packages of sausage so I will use one of each flavor and everyone is happy.

This time around I also added a package of al fresco’s meatballs to our sheet pan dinner. Did you know they have meatballs?? I’d been stalking my local store and they finally got some in a couple weeks ago. I used the Italian Style meatballs and the Andouille chicken sausage for this dinner, but any combination will be delicious!

For the vegetable, I used broccolini tossed with a little olive oil and parmesan. I had some cherry tomatoes so I threw those on for flavor and color, too. SO GOOD!!

WHAT IS BROCCOLINI?

Broccolini is a hybrid of broccoli and Chinese broccoli. I love its long stems and tiny broccoli-like “buds” which char nicely in a hot oven. Roasting broccolini alongside al fresco sausage makes for a perfect meal!
