Why You’ll Love This Recipe
There’s nothing better on a busy weeknight than an easy, healthy sheet pan dinner, and this Maple Balsamic Roasted Chicken Sausage and Veggies recipe is one of our favorites.
I just love sheet pan meals. Everything is cooked in a single pan, which means fewer dishes and less clean-up, and my kids will eat almost any vegetable if I roast it this way.
Well, maybe not Brussels sprouts, but this is definitely my family’s favorite way to enjoy fresh veggies.
I really enjoy making this version of a sheet pan dinner during the fall and winter months–the maple syrup and balsamic glaze just taste like fall to me.
But this is one of those quick and simple dinners that I make all year long.
I also love that this recipe is so versatile. It’s a great way to use up whatever vegetables you have in the refrigerator.
Broccoli or cauliflower are great substitutions for the Brussels sprouts, and almost any kind of potato will work in this dish.
I often use pork or beef sausage in place of the chicken sausage, depending on what I have on hand. Whole mushrooms, bell peppers, and diced butternut squash are also great additions.
With the tangy, sweet glaze, the vegetables and sausage brown beautifully, and everything is full of flavor. Don’t skip lining your baking sheet with foil for easy clean-up, as the syrup and vinegar glaze can get a bit sticky.
This Maple Balsamic Roasted Chicken Sausage and Veggies is an easy, wonderful way to serve up fresh in-season produce during the fall and winter months, or any time of year.
