I’ve been loving the ease of the sheet pan dinner. This time I used smoked sausage and potato wedges, along with brussels sprouts. This combination would be a little plain if it weren’t for the spice combo I used on the potatoes.
McCormick is my go-to brand for spices. The quality is always fabulous at bringing out the flavor in a recipe. This time I pulled smoked paprika, garlic powder and onion powder from the pantry. I also used generous amounts of kosher salt and black pepper.
If you don’t have smoked paprika, use regular. The smoked lends a wonderful flavor though, that goes really well with the smoked sausage.
Here’s what you’ll need for this recipe:
I used turkey sausage, but any kind of smoked sausage or kielbasa would be good. You can also substitute green beans instead of brussels sprouts if you like. I have a very large sheet pan, but if yours isn’t big enough, just use two pans. Potatoes on one, sausage and sprouts on the other.
Smoked Sausage Sheet Pan Dinner with Seasoned Potato Wedges
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 tsp kosher or sea salt
- 1/2 tsp. McCormick black pepper
- 1/2 tsp. McCormick garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp. McCormick onion powder
- 1/2 tsp. McCormick Smoked paprika
- 3-4 potatoes scrubbed and cut into wedges
- Olive oil
- 1 smoked sausage cut and sliced in half
- 3-4 cups brussels sprouts cleaned and cut in half
Instructions
- Stir all the spices together in a small bowl.
- Generously drizzle the potato wedges with olive oil. Sprinkle all the seasoning on the potatoes and toss to coat them in spices and oil.
- Pour onto a large baking sheet that has been brushed with olive oil and bake at 425 degrees for 25-30 minutes.
- While the potatoes cook, toss the brussels sprouts with olive oil. You can use the same bowl that you used for the potatoes. Sprinkle the sprouts with a bit of salt.
- Pull the pan from the oven (or grab a second pan if yours isn't big enough) and add the smoked sausage and brussels sprouts.
- Bake for another 10-15 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and the brussels sprouts are done.

I make this frequently with various meats and vegetables. I also add a little sugar to the spice mix to help the potatoes turn golden brown. It is only 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon so adds very little sweetness just adds a little crunch.
I like the sugar idea!
I have a feeling I’ll be making this all winter! My husband is GF and I’m getting so tired of what we’ve been eating all summer but now that the weather is starting to cool off (in SoCal), I can finally start using my oven again on a regular basis. Can’t wait to try this!
If you use green beans instead does that change the cooking time or would it be roughly the same as the Brussels sprouts?
It should be about the same as brussels sprouts, maybe a smidge less.
I just made this and it turned out well. Thank you for sharing. May I ask how I can avoid the sausage and potatoes not to stick to the pan?
I brush olive oil on the pan first. I will edit the recipe to show that.
You can also line pan with aluminum foil topped by parchment paper if you are worried about foil contacting your food.
What type of potatoes do you use? Yukon Gold? Russet?
I use whatever I have on hand. Any of those will work.
I’ve never heard of a “sheet pan dinner” before. Love the idea. I will definitely be making this for tea during the winter!
We’ve made this a few times now and it’s great, but we had to cut way back on the salt. It was just too much. Thank you for the easy recipe.
can you use frozen potato wedges for this recipe – want to make for over 50 people – do you have the ratios?
Linda – Frozen potato wedges should work fine for this recipe, you’ll just want to leave them in a little longer before you add the sausage and brussels sprouts. And this recipe should feed 6 people, so for 50 you’ll want to multiply the measurements by 8 or 9, depending on how many or few big eaters you have in the group. 🙂
