Sheet-Pan Sausage and Veggies Ingredients

• Smoked sausage: Smoked sausage is already cooked, but you still want to cook it to ensure it’s at a safe internal temperature and to brown the outside. If you like pork sausage, by the way, you may like some of these other recipes with sausage.
• Vegetables: Brussels sprouts, sweet onion, yellow summer squash, zucchini, yellow and green peppers, tomato and mushrooms all sweeten and soften as they cook. Their flavors and texture blend well with the savory sausage.
• Greek vinaigrette: Greek vinaigrette usually contains red wine vinegar, olive oil, oregano and salt. All these flavors complement the sheet-pan veggies and sausage, giving the final dish a sharp note to counter the mild, warm flavors of the other cooked ingredients.
