I love easy, and this is an easy sheet pan dish to make. A few root vegetables, sliced smoked sausage, olive oil and spices come together to make this delicious dinner.
My grandsons love this and always go back for seconds! It's such a hearty dish, very economical and feeds a crowd. There's nothing not to love in this easy Roasted Root Vegetables with Smoked Sausage dinner.

1/2 tsp thyme leaves
2-3 tbls. olive oil
Optional - add 1/2 head of cabbage, chopped

Heat oven to 425. Grease or spray with nonstick cooking spray a 3-quart baking dish or sheet pan. Combine the sausage pieces, potatoes, carrots, and onions in a large food storage bag or bowl; toss with the pepper, salt, Creole or Cajun seasoning, garlic, thyme, and olive oil. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.
