Sheet pan dinners are versatile and can be modified according to what you have on hand or family favorites. Chicken apple sausage paired with sweet potato, mushrooms, and fennel make this dish perfect for a chilly fall evening. This recipe can be changed or adapted according to whatever vegetables you have on hand.
To make this recipe super quick on a weeknight you can chop and prep the vegetables ahead of time so you can dump them on the baking sheet and go. While this recipe does require a bit of prep and chopping, I would categorize it as a passive cooking recipe. You don’t have to stir constantly or stand over the stove. Once the prep is done you can move on with your life.
Each week I include a quick and easy sheet pan dinner in my meal planning. The leftovers are great for pack-and-go lunches.
