Keto Sheet Pan Meal with Italian Sausage and Peppers
This keto sheet pan meal with Italian sausage and peppers comes together in no time!
Looking for an easy weeknight meal?
Sheet pan dinners are hands down the best. It doesn’t get any easier than throwing all your ingredients on a baking sheet and basically forgetting about it for 30 minutes while it bakes. And using parchment paper to line your sheet pan makes cleaning up such a breeze.
I also love that sheet pan meals make low-carb eating so easy, especially when doing a keto sausage and peppers sheet pan meal. The flavors of the sausage infuse the veggies with a savory richness as it bakes, making everything taste like Italian spices!
What’s in this keto sheet pan meal?
This particular sheet pan meal is made with Italian sausage — I went with spicy but mild is totally fine, and feel free to use your favorite brand of sausage. I typically try to look for a local-ish brand for the freshest flavor.
As for the veggies, I added bell peppers, onion, Brussels sprouts, and cherry tomatoes. Make sure you slice the bell peppers and onion pretty thin to keep the baking time around 30 minutes. If you have thicker slices, it may take longer to bake. You also want to quarter the Brussels sprouts to help them cook faster.
Tips for making the best keto sheet pan meal with Italian sausage and peppers:
- Line the baking sheet with parchment paper, and be sure not to skip this step. It saves you from having to scrub the pan.
- You can use pre-cooked sausage for this meal. You’ll just need to reduce the cooking time so that you don’t overcook the sausage by baking the veggies for about 15 minutes and then adding the sausage to the baking sheet.
- If you don’t have any cajun seasoning, you can make your own with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, cayenne, thyme, pepper, and salt.
