This sheet pan dinner comes together very quickly. Paired with rice, it’s perfect for a weeknight meal. My Basmati Rice Pilaf goes very well with this recipe.
Sausage, Peppers and Fennel Sheet Pan Dinner

Ingredients
- 1 large red onion, sliced
- 3 medium bell peppers, sliced (red, yellow and orange)
- 2 small bulbs fennel, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1 recipe Basmati Rice Pilaf https://yummyglutenfree.ca/2024/01/04/basmati-rice-pilaf/
- 4 large Italian-style sausages, each sliced in 5 pieces
- Pecorino cheese, grated
- red pepper flakes (optional)
Directions
- Cover two large rimmed sheet pans with foil and place in the cold oven.
- Heat oven to 425F.
- In a large bowl, Toss together the onion, peppers, fennel, olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper.
- Prepare the Basmati Rice Pilaf.
- Once the oven has preheated, remove the sheet pans and divide the vegetables between the two pans.
- Nestle the sausage pieces between vegetables, dividing the pieces between the two pans.
- Place the pans in the oven and cook for 25 minutes, stirring the pans halfway through cooking, until the sausage is cooked thru.
- Remove the pans from the oven. Serve the sausage mixture over the Basmati Rice Pilaf and sprinkle with freshly grated pecorino cheese and hot pepper flakes (if using).
- Recipe Notes
- Feel free to use one large sheet pan instead of two.
- Heating the sheet pans in the oven while it is preheating helps to sear the veggies and sausages, giving more flavour to the meal.
- Be sure to check the ingredients on the sausages to ensure it is gluten free.
