This easy Italian Sausage Sheet Pan Dinner is loaded with paprika potatoes and crispy broccoli. An easy, gluten-free, Whole30 friendly weeknight meal!
This was bound to happen. You know I have a thing with paprika and my new obsession is sheet-pan dinners so it was only a matter of time that I combined the two.
This easy sausage sheet pan dinner is going to be your new jam. Trust me, if you like food with flavor, you want to make this for dinner TONIGHT.
It’s obviously easy – one sheet pan – and ridiculously good. Plus, it’s Whole30 compliant (as long as you watch the ingredients on the sausage you buy!), gluten-free, and mostly hands-off. #weeknightdinnersmadeeasy
Let’s get into it.
Sausage Sheet Pan Ingredients
- Russet potatoes
- Broccoli
- Italian Sausage
- EVOO
- Dried Spices (paprika, parsley, coriander, salt)
You can make this with either Chicken or Pork Italian Sausage and if you like a kick and want this a bit spicier, go with hot sausage over mild. I have been making it with mild sausage because my kids are not down with the spicy sausage.
The potato wedges have that awesome crispy outside.
The broccoli spears bake until they have nice brown edges on the florets. Add in the sliced sausage and its perfection!
The only complaint I got the first time I made this for the family was that I didn’t make enough. This dish can easily feed two to three people or if you have a big eater like my husband – safely assume two.
It disappeared so fast. I highly recommend doubling this recipe and making two sheet pans so you have leftovers!
Recipe Tips
- You can use Chicken or Pork Italian Sausage. Go for Spicy sausage if you want an extra kick!
- Make sure to buy a whole head of broccoli so you can cut it into spears. If you use broccoli florets, you won’t get the same result.
- If you want to use smoked paprika in place of regular paprika, I recommend decreasing the amount!

Made this with sweet potatoes instead of russet last night. The entire family loved it!
Perfect Mandy! Did the sweet potatoes get crispy at all?
Budget dinner for us, We used Italian hot pork sausages, and regular sweet Italian pork sausages (1.99 a pound). We left them whole,we did slice the potatoes(5 pounds for 99 cents) as described. We started off the dinner , with the sausage and potatoes at the same time , then we turned the sausages and potatoes, added in the broccoli (huge head.96 per pound) and added in some sliced onions (.34 cents per pound) , simple, easy, tasty & cheap. Loaf of Italian bread was 99 cents. Washed it down with diet coke ( 2lt 99 cents). Dessert was apple turnovers 4 for $2 dollars we ate 2 of em, washed that down with cup of coffee each. Figured it was about 8 bucks total for a great dinner. We map out our dinners with what ever is on sale during the week.
LOVE it!!! This is so helpful for so many readers – thanks!
I can’t wait to try this tonight for dinner!
How did it come out Lisa?
This is one of our family favorites. I usually use the raw sausage I can get from the meat counter and start it with the potatoes comes out great!
So glad to hear it Jorene!
Made this tonight. I have a big eater so I did one pan just poatoes and one pan sausage (hot chicken sausage) and apples and mixed veggies! SO good. My first time trying sheet pan dinner, and it was a success at my house! Didn’t follow exactly, added lots of fresh veggies. However I followed for the seasonings for the potatoes-I LOVE paprika!
Thank you for making my first time enjoyable, new mom that love story easy cleanup and I can prep whenever my little one naps!
That is so great Natasha – glad it worked out!!
