Sausage Peppers & Potatoes
This is the one I make when I want minimal cleanup, since chicken sausage, potatoes, peppers, and onions all roast together on a single sheet pan. There's no sauce to whisk together and barely any hands-on cooking involved.
Chicken sausage brings a lot of flavor on its own, so I don't need much beyond peppers, onions, and potatoes to round out this one-pan meal. Roasting everything together means the potatoes pick up some of the sausage's seasoning as they cook.
This is one of the simpler meal preps in my rotation, closer to a sheet-pan dinner than a bowl, and it reheats well since nothing in it is delicate. Peppers and onions add sweetness once roasted, which balances the savory sausage nicely.
Full ingredient amounts and roasting time are on the recipe card, scaled for ten portions. Let everything cool before sealing the containers, then refrigerate what you'll eat within four days and freeze the rest. This sausage and potato sheet pan meal is one of the easiest recipes in my whole rotation.
