When you’re trying to get dinner on the table for a hungry family, one-pan meals are a great way to go. Not only will they feed a crowd, but they're an awesome way to cook your main course and side dish all at one time.
For this mouthwatering recipe, as the slices of succulent kielbasa roasts, all those savory juices begin to release, further seasoning the surrounding vegetables.
One of the great things about oven roasted sausage and veggies is they're perfect for meal prep! So, even if you aren't feeding a whole family, you can cook up a pan and freeze them for those times when you want a healthy home-cooked meal, but don't have the time.

🔪 How to Make Sheet Pan Kielbasa and Veggies
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Add the butternut squash to a microwave safe bowl and steam in the microwave for 2 minutes while you chop the other veggies. You don’t want it cooked through, just about halfway cooked.
Tip: To save yourself some work, look for butternut squash that has already been peeled and cut, in your local grocery store.
Add all the remaining veggies and sausage to a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil over the top. Sprinkle in the thyme, smoked paprika, garlic salt and pepper. Toss to combine, making sure each piece is well coated with the oil and spices.
Tip: While it’s not necessary to line the baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil, you certainly can if you’d like.
Pour onto a baking sheet that’s been brushed with olive oil.
Bake for 25 minutes or until the veggies are cooked through and are slightly brown.
Sheet Pan Sausage and Vegetables Variations
- Sausage: You can use any of your favorite link-style sausages. Because it's your main protein, I'd recommend one that's smoked or seasoned well with spices and herbs like kielbasa or Italian sausage, so it gives the meal lots of flavor.
- Veggies: One of the great things about this recipe is the measurements and ingredient are completely versatile! For the veggies, you can omit the peppers or add even more. You can add sliced brussels sprouts, broccoli or cauliflower. You just can't go wrong, so try any of your favorites!
- Seasonings: If you love a little kick of heat, red pepper flakes are a great way to wake up the flavor. You can also use fresh herbs like a little rosemary for a slightly piney flavor or sage for a real aromatic and warm taste. Fresh parsley always adds the perfect fresh note to roasted food.
What Vegetables Go with Sausages?
Best Low Carb Roasting Veggies: Other than the vegetables used in this recipe, mushrooms are an awesome low carb option, and they deliver even more protein to your meal. Eggplant, asparagus, different types of peppers, broccoli or cauliflower are always a hit.
How Long Do You Cook Sausage in the Oven?
Smoked sausage is already cooked, so you just want to cook it until it's nice and brown. The cooking time will vary on the size slices you're cooking. On average you can plan on it taking about 20-25 minutes for a full sheet pan.
Some people prefer to cook the sausages whole, and while you certainly can, I prefer to cut them into thick slices, so that more of the juices coat the veggies and the pieces get good color with roasting. Color = flavor!
What Type of Sausage is Keto-Friendly?
If you've ever stood in the sausage section at the grocery store, then you know there are many choices to pick from. The key to finding sausage that's okay for Keto is to avoid the ones with a lot of added sugar. Sometimes sugar is added during the curing phase, but the amount should be very minimal.
Look at the label for sausage with a low carb content. Once you see how many grams it has in fiber, subtract that from the total carbs to give you the amount of net carbs. This will be a good indicator of other hidden ingredients that may be in the sausage.
One ingredient that you’ll often see listed on certain brands of sausage is maltodextrin. It's best to avoid this ingredient because it can cause a spike in blood sugar just as high or higher than regular sugar.
Can You Use Parchment Paper for Sheet Pan Dinners?
If you have a new or very well-maintained, non-stick sheet pan, you shouldn’t have to use parchment paper when you coat the pan with a little olive oil. Having said that, it does make clean up one step easier!
Can I Make This Sheet Pan Dinner in the Air Fryer Instead?
Absolutely! If you didn't want to use your oven and would prefer to make it in your air fryer instead, you can use this helpful oven to air fryer conversion guide for the appropriate time and temperature!

This one’s a keeper! The kids like it, and that’s usually enough for me! The only change I made was to not include the sausage in the vegetable toss. I felt it would make the sausage too oily. After spreading the vegetables in the pan, I dot the sausage throughout the veggies. I also highly recommend using a stoneware sheet if you’ve got one. They are awesome for roasting!
Keto Cooking Christian
I'm so glad this recipe is a hit with your family...especially the kids! That’s always a win! Your method of adding the sausage separately is a great approach, though the sausage actually doesn’t make the veggies greasy since everything roasts together and caramelizes beautifully. I am glad it turned out great anyway. Thank you so much for the kind comments.

I needed a recipe to use up some veggies before going on vacation. Found this recipe and if fit the bill. I used a sweet potato, onions, zucchini, and yellow squash. I cooked it in the air fryer at 375 for 20 minutes. Delicious. Hubby who is not a veggie fan, especially squash of any kind, had seconds. Thanks!
Keto Cooking Christian
I love how you changed it up and making it in the air fryer was a great idea. What a bonus that your hubby liked it too. Sounds like a win-win, glad you both enjoyed it!

Sharon
We made this last night and really enjoyed it! I used the entire yellow pepper and instead of butternut squash (not a fan) I used a sweet potato. I realize it’s not as low carb but it was still quite tasty. I also had a mixture of cauli/broccoli rice leftover so we served it over that. So,so good! Thanks for sharing. We will be making this again!
Keto Cooking Christian
You are so welcome and I'm glad it was a hit!
Judy
Is the 2/3 bell pepper diced 2/3s of a cup or 2/3s of a bell pepper?
Keto Cooking Christian
It is 2/3 of an average size bell pepper.
