Why You’ll Love This Sausage & Bacon Vegetable Sheet Pan Meal Prep Recipe

This simple recipe is packed with some of my favorite things, making it perfect for a busy work week when all you're looking for is healthy recipes that don't require a ton of work:

Protein-Packed: This meal has 32g of protein in every serving, meaning it’ll keep you feeling full for hours.
Quick Clean-Up: Because everything comes together on just two sheet pans (one for the turkey bacon and one for everything else), clean-up is quick and easy, so you’ll be able to spend more time relaxing and less time scrubbing dishes.

Versatile and Customizable: Switch up the sausage for a different flavor (an apple chicken sausage would amp up the fall flavors even more!) or add and subtract vegetables to fit your preferences. Mushrooms would be a great fall addition. You can also add fresh herbs for even more flavor.
Perfect for meal prep: This dish is an easy one for meal prep with a tasty combo of chicken sausage, turkey bacon, and a variety of vegetables that holds up well over the course of the week and reheats beautifully.

sausage and bacon sheet pan meal prep - cooked sausage and veggies on the pan

Ingredients

1 package (about 3 cups) cubed butternut squash
16 oz (1 lb) Brussels sprouts, halved or cut into thirds
½–1 whole red onion, thinly sliced
1 package chicken sausage (like Trader Joe’s Italian Sausage) - you could also use chicken breast in this recipe if you'd prefer
1 large sweet potato, cubed (optional)
2 tablespoons olive oil
5 strips turkey bacon
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon paprika
Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Maple Dijon Yogurt Dressing:

½ cup Greek yogurt
1½ tablespoons maple syrup
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
Pinch of salt and black pepper
Dash of paprika

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Prep and season the veggies: If needed, finish dicing and slicing the vegetables. Then, spread them in a single layer on one sheet pan. Drizzle olive oil over the top and toss the veggies to coat them evenly. Sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper over the veggies. Toss again to coat evenly with seasonings.
Arrange the sausage on the pan: Slice the sausage and add it to the sheet pan with the vegetables.
Add the turkey bacon to a pan: Lay the strips of turkey bacon on a second baking sheet.
Roast: Place both sheet pans into the oven. Cook the bacon for about 15 minutes. Keep an eye on it and remove the pan from the oven once it’s crispy. Keep roasting the sausage and vegetables for an additional 15 minutes (for a total of about 30 minutes), until the sausage is warmed through and caramelized (or cooked, if it’s not pre-cooked) and the veggies have golden, caramelized edges.
Mix the dressing: While everything is roasting in the oven, mix the Greek yogurt, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and paprika in a small bowl. Stir until smooth and well combined.
Finish the bacon: Once the bacon is cool to the touch, give it a rough chop and sprinkle it over the sausage and veggies.
Garnish and serve: Drizzle maple dijon yogurt sauce over the top of the sausage, bacon, and veggies, sprinkle with chopped flat-leaf parsley, thyme, or cilantro, and serve. Enjoy!

Swaps and Substitutions

This sheet pan sausage and veggies meal is super easy to make your own and a great way to get creative in the kitchen. Try one of these swaps and substitutions to put your own spin on the dish.

Try a different sausage: Instead of an Italian chicken sausage, consider trying a different flavor of chicken sausage, turkey sausage, or even a plant-based alternative if you’d like.
Switch up the veggies: Add spinach, mushrooms, cabbage, red bell pepper, carrots, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, green beans, or cauliflower for different flavors or just extra vegetables.
Try a different sauce: While the maple Dijon yogurt sauce is delicious, you can change the overall flavor of the meal by using a different sauce. Try a pesto or chimichurri, tahini sauce, or even just a simple vinaigrette.
Turn up the heat: If you like spicy food, toss the veggies with some crushed red pepper flakes, add a few dashes of hot sauce, or drizzle with hot honey for extra spice and flavor.
