Are you ready to make dinner in the oven? This Cheesy Zucchini and Sausage Sheet Pan Meal cooks in about 30 minutes and it uses zucchini, so I think that sounds like a pretty good dinner for summer-into-fall weather. And it's low in carbs!

This simple recipe was inspired by some zucchini and yellow squash that needed to be used and the Aidell's Bacon, Mushroom, and Swiss Cheese Smoked Sausage I bought on impulse after I tasted it at Costco. If you follow that link you'll see that the sausage is really low in carbs (and it's very tasty) but if you have a favorite pre-cooked sausage with chicken, turkey, pork, or beef you can certainly use any type of sausage you prefer in this easy fall sheet pan meal.

What ingredients do you need for this recipe?

  • zucchini
  • yellow summer squash
  • Olive Oil (affiliate link)
  • Italian Herb Seasoning (affiliate link)
  • salt and fresh-ground black pepper
  • pre-cooked sausage of your choice
  • grated Parmesan cheese

What is a Sheet Pan Meal?

Sheet pan meals are dinners where the complete dinner is cooked on a sheet pan in the oven, and they're easy and usually pretty quick to make. Check out Low-Carb and Keto Sheet Pan Meals for more tasty ideas for sheet pan meals!

What if you prefer the zucchini to be slightly crisp?

I want to mention one variation on the preparation method for this recipe if you're someone who likes your zucchini to still have some crunch. If you follow the cooking instructions the zucchini will be fairly soft, and if you'd prefer zucchini with a little more bite to it, just put the pieces of sausage on the sheet pan first, put the pan in the oven, and let the sausage start to cook while you cut up the zucchini. Then after 5 minutes or so, add zucchini slices to the pan and continue with the recipe.

How to Make Cheesy Zucchini and Sausage Sheet Pan Meal:

(This is just a summary of the steps; scroll down to see the actual recipe including nutritional information.)

  1. Preheat oven  and spray a sheet pan with non-stick spray.
  2. Wash the zucchini and yellow squash, then cut off ends, slice lengthwise down the center; then slice into 3/4 inch thick half-moon pieces.
  3. Toss zucchini with olive oil, Italian Herb Seasoning (affiliate link), salt, and pepper.
  4. Lay zucchini on the sheet pan flat sides down and so that no squash pieces are touching each other.
  5. (Note: If you prefer your zucchini a bit more crisp, cut up the sausage, put it on the sheet pan, and put the pan in the oven to start roasting the sausage before you do the steps above.)
  6. Trim ends off pre-cooked sausage of your choice. Slice sausage into thick slices and tuck between the zucchini pieces on the sheet pan.
  7. Roast zucchini and sausage pieces 15 minutes. (Or roast sausage 5-7 minutes, add zucchini, and roast the rest of the time if you're going for crisper zucchini.)
  8. After 15 minutes cooking time, sprinkle zucchini and sausage with coarsely grated Parmesan cheese.
  9. Put sheet pan back in the oven and roast about 12 minutes more, or until cheese is nicely melted and starting to brown and zucchini is done to your liking.
  10. Serve hot and enjoy!

This could definitely be a complete meal on it's own, but if you wanted to add a side dish I'd like it with The BEST Pureed Cauliflower or Barely-Cooked Green Beans with Tahini-Lemon Sauce.
