Italian Sausage Broccoli And Polenta Sheet Pan Dinner Recipes

BAKED ITALIAN SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Rinse and cut cherry tomatoes in halves. Rinse and cut bell pepper in strips, then cut into 1 inch bite size chunks. Arrange in a single layer on the parchment paper lined baking sheet.
• Drizzle olive oil then sprinkle Italian seasoning over the vegetables. Toss to coat.
• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper (or aluminum foil).
• Place sausages on the baking sheet (with or without cherry tomatoes and peppers) in a single layer, and so that sausages are not touching each other.
• Bake in the center rack at the middle of the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F.
• Remove from the oven and serve immediately.

ITALIAN SAUSAGE SHEET PAN DINNER

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and spray a large baking sheet with some cooking spray.
• Add the sausages, red onion chunks, baby potatoes, bell pepper chunks, and zucchini slices to the greased baking sheet. Sprinkle the smoked paprika, the oregano and the salt and pepper over everything and toss well.
• Arrange the sausages evenly on the baking sheet and nestle them into the vegetables.
• Roast everything at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20-25 minutes, or until the sausages are cooked through completely and the baby potatoes are soft. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the sausages have reached an internal temperature of at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Garnish with some fresh cilantro or parsley and serve this meal to your hungry family!

SHEET-PAN SAUSAGE PARMESAN WITH GARLICKY BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450 degrees. Prepare sauce: In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil until shimmering. Stir in garlic and red pepper flakes, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes, basil sprig, salt and pepper, and bring to a brisk simmer. Simmer until sauce is very thick and most of the moisture is evaporated, 15 to 20 minutes. It should be thicker than the usual marinara sauce. Remove and discard basil sprig.
• While sauce is cooking, toss broccoli with oil, red pepper flakes and salt on a quarter-size rimmed baking sheet (or use a regular sized rimmed baking sheet), and place in oven.
• Arrange sausage in a single layer on a quarter-size rimmed baking sheet or in a 9-by-13-inch roasting pan, and roast along with broccoli until golden on the bottom, about 15 minutes. Flip sausages over so browned sides are on top.
• When you flip the sausages, remove broccoli from oven and toss with sliced garlic. (Reserve grated garlic for later.) Drizzle broccoli with a little more oil. Return pan to oven and continue to roast broccoli and sausages until sausages are cooked through and broccoli is tender and browned, about 5 minutes longer.
• Meanwhile, mix ricotta with grated garlic.
• When broccoli is done, remove from oven and tent with foil to keep warm. Top sausage with tomato sauce and dollops of ricotta, then drizzle with olive oil and grind pepper generously over top. Sprinkle on mozzarella and Parmesan. Bake until cheese is melted and bubbly, and the garlic is opaque, 3 to 5 minutes. Or if you prefer you can broil the cheese to melt it, 1 to 3 minutes.
• Serve sausages, sauce and cheeses with broccoli on the side. Pass crusty bread for sopping up the tomato sauce.

SAUSAGE AND VEGETABLE SHEET PAN DINNER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place broccoli, baby potatoes, carrot, and onion in a large bowl. Pour in olive oil, mustard, Pecorino Romano cheese, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat, then spread vegetables in an even layer on a sheet pan. Arrange sausages in the pan, pushing aside the vegetables so that the sausages touch the bottom of the pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven, flipping sausages and vegetables halfway through until sausages are no longer pink in the center, 30 to 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
