🍯 Why This Recipe Works
- Minimal dishes. For this recipe, we're keeping the dish count low, and if you're all about minimizing the cleanup, here's a neat trick. Instead of using extra bowls, just toss your Brussels sprouts with olive oil and seasonings right on the baking sheet before you throw on the sausages. Fewer dirty dishes? That's always a win when you're trying out a new recipe!
- Basic ingredients. We don't need anything too fancy, just a package of your favorite sausages (we use Brats), some brussel sprouts, and some seasonings from your pantry. You more than likely have most (if not all) of the ingredients on hand already.
- It's a faster dinner solution. In under 30 minutes, you can have a delicious dinner. Pair it with instant mashed potatoes, rice, or any side you like. It's that versatile and quick.
🥘 Ingredients
Ingredient Notes:
Sausages- You'll need several sausages for this recipe. I like to buy 2 of the 5 count packs because then there's enough for everybody to get two and some leftovers as well.
Brussel sprouts- Use fresh brussel sprouts that have been washed and trimmed. If you've still got fresh brussel sprouts on hand try our Roasted Brussel Sprouts and Carrots or our Bacon Ranch Brussel Sprouts.
For specific ingredients and measurements, please see the recipe card below.
📖 Variations
Swap sausages. You can easily swap out the sausages in this recipe for ones that you'd prefer like chicken sausage, kielbasa, or brats. If you still have sausage leftover, check out How to Cook Brats in The Oven.
Swap veggies. You could even change out the brussel sprouts for broccoli florets, cauliflower florets, or trimmed green beans.
Add potatoes. For a fuller meal, you can add quartered red potatoes in with the brussel sprouts (remove 1 pound of brussel sprouts and add in one pound of potatoes) so that there is room on your baking sheet. Make sure that the potatoes are well coated in olive oil before baking.
🔪 Instructions for Sheet Pan Sausages and Brussel Sprouts
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with foil (if desired).
Step 2: Evenly space your brats on the baking sheet so that they are not touching. Set aside.
Step 3: Wash your brussel sprouts. Cut off the bottom ends and slice them into halves (quarter them if they're really large).
Step 4: Place the brussel sprouts in a bowl and drizzle with olive oil and then add the seasonings.
Step 5: Toss the brussels well until well coated.
Step 6: Place the brussel sprouts onto the baking sheet, around the sausages as they can fit.
Step 7: Bake for 15 minutes, flip the sausages with a pair of tongs and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
The sausages are finished cooking when they reach an internal temperature of 160F degrees.
🍴 Recipe Tips
Customize the flavor
- Feel free to adjust the seasonings according to your taste preferences.
Preparing the Brussels sprouts
- Start by washing all the Brussels sprouts thoroughly under cool running water in a colander. Then, allow them to drain on a towel as you trim off the woody bottom ends of each sprout.
- Once trimmed, place the Brussels sprouts upright on a cutting board and slice them in half if they are small, or into quarter-sized pieces if they are larger.
- For smaller Brussels sprouts, halving them is sufficient. You can choose to discard any loose leaves that fall off during this process, or incorporate them into the dish.
🥗 Side Dishes
We like serving up these sausages and brussel sprouts with simple starches like rice or potatoes. Our Creamy Garlic Red Skin Mashed Potatoes and Lemon Garlic Butter Pasta are my two favorite go-to options. You can serve yours up with just about anything you desire and it's sure to taste great either way!
🍳Reheating
Just place a serving's worth of food onto a plate and heat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes on high. Or place it in the air fryer and heat at 360 degrees F for about 4 minutes, checking or mixing everything around after 2 minutes. You can also reheat everything in the oven.
💭 Recipe FAQs
You can keep the leftovers from this recipe for up to 3-5 days in an airtight container. Reheat again before serving.
You can prepare the brussel sprouts with the olive oil and seasonings in a covered mixing bowl, gallon sized baggie, or airtight container and keep them stored for up to 24 hours in advance in the fridge.
Yes, trimming brussel sprouts is what helps to remove the bad leaves (leaves with holes, or unsightly spots) as well as remove the wooden-like ends at the base. The hard bottoms of brussel sprouts do not soften while baking and can be very unpleasant to chew on.
