Roasted Italian sausage with Vidalia onions and vegetables – this will become a go-to easy meal for you – it is for us!

I don’t know if you are a meal planner, but I am kind of a half-hearted meal planner. I think it’s a combination of Ben’s crazy work schedule and this blog that puts me somewhere in no-man’s land when it comes to meal planning.

I’ll write a list of recipes I want to develop for this site each week. They could be recipes for clients, or they could be just something I’ve been wanting to share with you. If it’s a dinner recipe, I’ll assign it a day – preferably a night that Ben will be home so I can photograph it while he entertains the kids.

Then I’ll fill in days that Ben has a late night at work. The kids and I will either meet him for dinner those nights or I’ll just make something quick and easy (kind of like lunch). That’s usually when I just give up. It’s so bad! I’m really bad at this.

Next thing I know, I’m wandering the grocery store aisles aimlessly, picking up this and that. I know I have a stocked pantry so throwing together a last-minute meal isn’t usually too difficult as long as I have a decent selection of protein in my fridge.

One of the things I’ll commonly pick up is either ground turkey, or turkey sweet Italian sausage. I know I can easily throw together a meal with either one of these two things. A couple of my favorites are Instant Pot pasta with sausage, spinach and tomatoes, or turkey sausage and asparagus quiche. 

This time I happened to reach for the Italian sausage and decided to share this meal idea with you guys. It’s honestly one of those meals I make over and over and OVER again. It’s ridiculously easy, it’s healthy, and it’s a great way to use up whatever produce you may have in the fridge.

About this Roasted Italian Sausage Dinner

You’ll want to include a couple of sweet Vidalia® Onions. It’s hard to believe this, but they get even sweeter when you roast them. If you remember, as part of my partnership with Vidalia onions, I also made this irresistible onion tart with bacon and kale. That tart may be a fancier use of the Vidalia onions – but this recipe is just as delicious. It’s perfect for those days where you really don’t feel like cooking.

Add some carrots, peppers, sweet potatoes, and mushrooms and you have a really delicious, well-rounded meal.

Serve it with a loaf of crusty bread and fresh fruit. Voila!

    Very flavorful- but After 20 minute the veggies are shrunk into nothingness- I will not cook them as long next time-

      It could be that you chopped them too small?

    This was quick and easy. Since we are at home for lunches I did a huge sheet pan and filled it with 10 sausage and tons of veggies so we had leftovers. The sheet pan was very crowded but still cooked up well. I used Trader Joe’s uncooked chicken sausage-2 different varieties. We topped the sausage with some leftover Spicy Arrabbiata sauce that I wanted out of the fridge. I love this recipe because I could use what ever was in the fridge. So in this case it was sweet potatoes, onion, zucchini and Brussel sprouts. My kids did not like the texture of the sausage so next time I will add some Hillshire smoked turkey during the last cooking cycle for them. Loved how it was all done on one pan, even the prep work. The longest part was prepping the veggies.

    Thank you, Rachel for this recipe! I’m going to try this out tonight! Although because of the pandemic, I only have onions and sweet potatoes. I’m going to add some potatoes as well! I’ll let you know how it went!

    Sausages + roasted veggies is a no-brainer winner of a dinner. And with sweet Vidalias. Even better!

    Nothing wrong with “quick and easy (kind of like lunch)” dinners. Heck, we had a fried egg sandwich last night! :)
