This sheet pan vegan sausage and veggies with pesto meal has quickly become a regular weekly dinner option for us! It is kind of hard to call it a “recipe” since there isn’t much to cook. You are mostly just combining some produce and a few store-bought products for a super simple meal. However, many of you loved my teriyaki tofu sheet pan meal so I thought I would share this one too!
Tips for Making this Sheet Pan Vegan Sausage and Veggies with Pesto
- Lining your baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil is optional but makes clean-up super easy! I use parchment paper because I need new baking sheets (they’re sooo old!) and this prevents sticking.
- You can definitely switch up the veggies in this meal if you’d like. I used broccoli, cabbage, and carrots in this version. It changes every time based on what we have in the fridge or what is in season. You can totally make this with cauliflower, potatoes, brussels sprouts, bell pepper, and more.
- Make it into a grain bowl by serving with cooked quinoa like I did below. I’ve also served it with roasted potatoes as well. I just roast the potatoes on a separate pan at the same time in the oven. They are usually done at the same time.
- There are a lot of tasty plant-based sausage options available in stores. We usually use sausages from Tofurky or Field Roast when making this.
- In the summer, I try to have homemade pesto on hand for this recipe these days I just use some from the store. I love and using the vegan pesto made by Gotham Greens!
