Nothing is as simple or as convenient as a sheet pan meal! This recipe has simple ingredients, but when it comes together, it still tastes fantastic. Sausage, zucchini, squash, and parmesan cheese work in harmony to make a low-carb meal that will have you coming back for seconds.
The zucchini and sausage pieces are roughly cut into bite-sized pieces, making this recipe family-friendly and great for younger children. You can also adjust how crunchy or soft you want your zucchini and squash by altering the cooking time or size.
Zucchini is highly versatile and can be used in many dishes. It tastes great chopped up, roasted whole, or even spiralized into zoodles. Zucchini is low in calories, cholesterol, and sodium and can help protect your skin, reduce oxidative stress, and even strengthen your bones.
The dish is topped off with cheese. Make sure you grate real parmesan cheese instead of using the powdered type. While it might seem interchangeable, real parmesan will melt nicely and give a cheesy, slightly burnt flavor that works incredibly well with the rest of the ingredients!
This sausage and zucchini sheet pan meal can be served on their own, but it also works with some cauliflower rice or paired with extra veggies. It can also keep well and tastes just as good as leftovers the next day.
