I am totally in love with this easy kielbasa sheet pan dinner. It ticks all the boxes: roasted kielbasa sausage and loads of vegetables, hearty, and comforting. This easy dinner recipe only takes a few minutes of prep time, which makes it perfect for busy weeknights.
With just a few simple ingredients all the great flavor comes from fresh vegetables, spices, and the delicious smoked sausage. I like to use sausage from North Country Smokehouse, which has no added sugar and simple ingredients, making this a healthy dinner I feel good about serving to my entire family.
If you're looking for more easy weeknight meals to feed your family, I suggest my one-pan Mexican beef and rice skillet meal, this mouth-watering Marry Me chicken pasta, or my copycat Hamburger Helper potato strogranoff.

Is this sheet pan sausage meal gluten free?
All of the ingredients with the exception of the kielbasa are naturally gluten free. There are plenty of gluten free kielbasa options available, just make sure to read the labels. This sheet pan dinner can easily be made Whole 30 compliant by using a sugar free kielbasa as well.
Ingredient Notes
Just a handful of ingredients, plus a well stocked spice cabinet, are required to make this easy sheet pan dinner. You should be able to fine everything at your local grocery store.
- Olive oil - I use olive oil for all of my cooking. If you prefer, you can use vegetable oil, canola oil, or avocado oil in place of olive oil.
- Basil, Thyme, Paprika, Oregano, Onion Powder & Garlic Powder - All of the herbs and spices provide a rich flavor profile for the dish.
- Salt & Black Pepper - Some brands of kielbasa can be quite salty, so I suggest adding some salt before cooking and possibly adding additional salt after cooking, to taste.
- Potatoes - I use red potatoes, but baby potatoes, Russett potatoes or yellow potatoes will also work fine. The important thing is to cut the potatoes into even sized cubes, so they will cook well during the baking time.
- Carrots - If you don’t have baby carrots, cut full size carrots into pieces about 2 inches long and no more than ½ inch thick.
- Broccoli Florets - Cut a head of broccoli into florets or buy the precut florets. I don't recommend using frozen broccoli here since it will become soggy.
- Yellow Onion - Cut the onion into good sized slices so it doesn't burn during baking.
- Minced Garlic - I've combined both fresh minced garlic and garlic powder to really kick up the flavor of this dinner.
- Kielbasa - Not all brands of kielbasa are gluten free. I normally use the sausage from North Country Smokehouse because it is all natural with no added sugar. I used to recommend Hillshire Farms as a widely available brand, but they recently changed their recipe to include oats and they are not listed as being gluten free. If you're not gluten free, use your favorite brand of kielbasa.

Substitutions & Variations
- No kielbasa - replace Polska kielbasa with turkey kielbasa, chicken sausage or make it vegan with vegan kielbasa.
- Add more vegetables - Add cubed sweet potatoes, butternut squash, cut brussel sprouts, bell peppers, brussels sprouts, or cauliflower for more vegetables.
- Not gluten free - Use your favorite brand of kielbasa without worrying about finding a gluten free brand.
- Add ½ teaspoon of red pepper flakes to make it spicier.
- More mouths to feed? I serve this as a complete meal, but you can serve over rice or pasta to stretch it for a larger group.
- Top with Parmesan cheese or add some dijon mustard.
How to make a Kielbasa Sheet Pan Dinner
This sausage dinner is so easy to make. It only requires a little bit of vegetable chopping, a single bowl and the sheet pan.
STEP 1: Combine all of the herbs, spices, salt and pepper with the olive oil and mix well.
STEP 2: Place the cut root vegetables into a large mixing bowl. Pour half of the spice and oil mixture over the vegetables. Stir to coat the vegetables.
STEP 3: Spread the potatoes and carrots onto a large sheet pan and bake for 20 minutes.
STEP 4: Add the cut broccoli, onions and minced garlic to the same mixing bowl. Pour the remaining spice and oil mixture over the vegetables and stir to coat.
STEP 5: After the first 20 minutes have elapsed, remove the sheet pan from the oven and flip the potatoes and carrots. Add the sliced kielbasa to one half of the sheet pan.
STEP 6: Pour the broccoli and onions over the veggies and sausage and return the sheet pan to the oven. Bake 15 minutes, then flip the sausages and bake for 10 minutes more.
Storage
Store leftover sausage sheet pan dinner in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. It makes very good leftovers as the flavors combine in storage and it tastes great the next day. Reheat in the microwave for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Recipe FAQs
Swap the potatoes for sweet potatoes or butternut squash.
Add peppers, zucchini, asparagus or whatever vegetables you like. Smaller vegetables that cook quickly should be added along with the broccoli.
No, you should stick to fresh vegetables for this recipe. Frozen vegetables will become mushy during baking.
