Sheet Pan Cajun Smoked Sausage & Vegetables

Sheet Pan Cajun Smoked Sausage and Vegetables

I love sheet pan dinners for their easy preparation and even easier clean-up.

This smoked sausage and vegetable combination is very easy, and very adaptable. Use your preferred linked-style smoked sausage like kielbasa, andouille, or chorizo links (not loose raw chorizo). A combination of vegetables of various colors makes for a delicious and healthy dinner. I like using sweet potatoes and/or butternut squash, red peppers, zucchini, and onion.

Start cooking the longer-cooking vegetables first, then add the quicker cooking vegetables closer to the end of cooking time.

I season this with a premixed Cajun seasoning, but you can also use a combination of salt, pepper, onion and garlic powders, thyme, oregano, smoked paprika.
