Lemon Butter Veggies and Sausage
Sunny, savory, delicious- and easy!
Sometimes on busy days you want a meal that you can pop into the oven and forget about. But, you still want all the yumminess- as if you had stood over the stove making something super complicated. Enter in: sheet pan dinners. This Lemon Butter Veggies and Sausage sheet pan dinner is bursting with flavor and has so many different kinds of vegetables. It’s a colorful and delicious way to get dinner on the table without breaking your back.
The veggies for this recipe are quite numerous and you can certainly mix them up as you want or need to. Make sure that the veggies that need the most cooking time go into the oven first. We’ll add more to the pan later.
The next round in the oven is when we add the sausage and the other veggies, as well as the rest of the spectacular lemon butter sauce. This sauce is what gives the meal a special something. It’s not hard to mix up, but it adds a ton of flavor to each and every bite of this dish. And, of course, you can’t go wrong with butter to give it that extra oomph!
Some lovely yellow and red cherry tomatoes lend an ever-so-slightly sweet flavor to the dish that sets off the savory and lemon-y elements of this dinner. There’s no need to cut them, just pop them on the pan whole.
This Lemon Butter Veggies and Sausage is perfect on its own. But, you can serve this with some salad and some bread or have it with buttered noodles on the side if you want this to feed more people.
Serve with a lemon wedge for an added hit of citrus at the table. It’s such a great way to enjoy a garden of veggies and a variety of flavors together.
