Cheesy Zucchini Sausage Sheet Pan Meal
This Cheesy Zucchini Sausage Sheet Pan Meal is a great summer-into-fall dinner idea that's low in carbs if you pick sausage without added sugar.
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini, cut into thick half-moon slices
- 2 medium yellow summer squash, cut into thick half-moon slices
- 2 T olive oil
- 2 tsp. Italian Herb Seasoning (see notes)
- salt and fresh-ground black pepper to taste
- 12 oz. pre-cooked sausage of your choice (see notes)
- 1 cup coarsely grated Parmesan cheese (more or less to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450F/230C/ Spray a sheet pan with non-stick spray.
- Wash the zucchini and yellow squash if needed, then cut off both ends. Cut Zucchini and yellow squash lengthwise down the center; then slice into 3/4 inch thick slices.
- Toss zucchini with olive oil, Italian Herb Seasoning (affiliate link), salt, and pepper.
- Lay zucchini out on the sheet pan, flat sides down, placing it so that no squash pieces are touching each other if you can.
- Note: If you prefer your zucchini to stay a bit more crisp, cut up the sausage, put it on the sheet pan, and put the pan in the oven to start roasting the sausage before you do the steps above.
- Trim ends off Aidell's Bacon, Mushroom, and Swiss Cheese Smoked Sausage (or pre-cooked sausage of your choice). Slice sausage into 3/4 inch thick slices and tuck between the zucchini pieces on the sheet pan.
- Roast zucchini and sausage pieces 15 minutes. (Or roast sausage 5-7 minutes, add zucchini, and roast the rest of the time if you're going for crisper zucchini.)
- After 15 minutes cooking time, sprinkle zucchini and sausage with coarsely grated Parmesan cheese.
- Put sheet pan back in the oven and roast about 12 minutes more, or until cheese is nicely melted and starting to brown and zucchini is done to your liking.
- Serve hot.
Notes
Any herb blend labeled Italian Herb Blend or Italian Herb Seasoning (affiliate link) will be fine for this recipe.
I used Aidell's Bacon, Mushroom, and Swiss Cheese Smoked Sausage for this recipe, and that link will take you to their site if you want to see the nutritional information. Any pre-cooked sausage with good flavor will be great; use four or five sausage links.
