Chicken sausage with autumn fruit and veggies that are seasoned with fresh herbs and roasted on a sheet pan make this healthy meal great for a busy weeknight.
Sheet pan dishes have become more and more prevalent in my life. I just love being able to throw everything in one pan and just let the oven do the work. Even better, there is just one pan to clean! So with fall officially here, I wanted to up the ante and create an autumn inspired sheet pan dinner.
Loaded with butternut squash, Brussels sprouts and apples as well as herbs like thyme, rosemary and sage - this fall sheet pan dish is the definition of fall. The precooked chicken sausage I used even had sage in it.
Really the only thing that takes some time is dicing/slicing everything. So just play some music and get chopping! Hope you enjoy this autumn sheet pan sausage and veggies dinner!

What Type of Sausage Do I Use?
You really can use any precooked sausage you prefer. From smoked beef sausage to turkey sausage to chicken sausage with sage like I used. Big thing is you want precooked.
Can I Mix and Match the Veggies?
Yes! Instead of butternut squash you could use sweet potatoes or pumpkin. You could also use veggies like broccoli, cauliflower and carrots. And if you don't have leaks just use 1 regular red onion. That's the beauty of this sheet pan dinner. You really can make it your own.
What If I Don't Have Fresh Herbs?
Not a problem. You can easily use dried herbs. You'd want to use 1 tsp each of dried thyme, rosemary and sage.
Pro Tips/Recipe Notes
- Cut the vegetables and apples in uniform pieces so they cook evenly.
- When using leeks, make sure you wash thoroughly so you remove the dirt. If you can't find leeks, you can replace them with a small red onion.
- If your grocery store doesn't have a poultry herb blend, use a combination of fresh thyme, rosemary and sage.
- Add sliced almonds halfway through the cooking process so they get crisp but don't burn.
