Roasted veggies and sausage

I’m sharing with you two ways to make this recipe with roasted veggies and sausage; one is made outdoors on a grill or over a campfire using aluminium foil and the other is made as a sheet pan dinner in your oven.

The fundamentals of cooking in a foil packet or on a sheet pan are very similar. You combine everything together, season, and cook until done. It’s actually pretty easy to combine the two and cook foil packets in the oven on a sheet pan. 

The trick to cooking this way is adding enough seasoning. For this recipe, I’m using cajun seasoning (this is the one I’ve been using), dried thyme, garlic, salt, and pepper. This goes really well with the spicy sausage, sweet potatoes, Brussels Sprouts, onions, and peppers. Brussels sprouts are one of my favorite roasted veggies. When I am prepping them, I cut off the dried edges and cut in half (top to bottom) to help keep the layers together and cook more quickly.

How to Grill Andouille and Vegetables (Foil Packets)

1. Heat a grill or campfire to medium-high heat (350˚F). 
2. Prepare 4 sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil 12” long and set aside.  Note: It’s best to use the thicker heavy-duty foil, but if you only have regular foil, use two layers to prevent burning.
3. In a large mixing bowl, add sliced sausage, chopped or sliced sweet potatoes, halved Brussels sprouts, chopped red onion, chopped bell pepper, and minced garlic. 
4. Drizzle with olive or avocado oil and toss well to combine. 
5. Add the Cajun seasoning, thyme, salt, and pepper to the bowl and toss until evenly coated. 
6. Divide the sausage and veggies among the 4 sheets of heavy-duty foil. 
7. Fold up each foil sheet into a packet being sure to roll or crimp the edges to prevent food for leaking out. 
8. Place the finished foil packets on the grill and cook until the sweet potatoes are tender, about 22-25 minutes. Give the packets a quarter turn every 5-6 minutes to ensure even cooking and prevent burning. 
9. When opening the foil packet to check for doneness, be careful as steam will escape when opened.

How to Make Sheet Pan Andouille and Vegetables 

1. Place a large sheet pan in the oven and preheat to 425°F. Note: Why add the sheet pan? This allows the sausage and vegetables to cook faster with the shot of heat. The potatoes end up crisper in my opinion. 
2. In a large mixing bowl, add sliced sausage, chopped or sliced sweet potatoes, halved Brussels sprouts, chopped red onion, chopped bell pepper, and minced garlic. 
3. Drizzle with olive or avocado oil and toss well to combine. 
4. Add the Cajun seasoning, thyme, salt, and pepper to the bowl and toss until evenly coated. 
5. Once the sheet pan and oven reach temperature, remove the sheet pan from the oven and pour the sausage and veggies onto it. Spread out into a single layer and return to the oven. 
6. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring once or twice during cook time to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
