Sheet pan meals are a lifesaver in our house! They’re quick, simple, and make cleanup a breeze—everything cooks together on one pan. Just pick a protein, veggie, and starch, and dinner is done!

Here’s a new weeknight favorite to add to your rotation: Andouille sausage, gnocchi, and broccoli.

I love using smoked andouille sausage because it’s already packed with bold, savory flavor—no extra seasoning needed! Shelf-stable gnocchi is another great staple to keep on hand for sheet pan meals. It’s soft, pillowy, and soaks up seasonings beautifully. Broccoli is a go-to in our house, but feel free to swap in asparagus, squash, green beans, or bell peppers for variety.

Sprinkling over freshly shredded parmesan cheese gives the dish a salty, smoky, cheesy finish.

• Large Sheet Pan or two smaller sheet pans
• 2- 14 ounce packages Smoked Andouille Sausage, cut into slices- you could also use Polska sausage or kielbasa 
• 2 heads broccoli– florets cut small- or substitute green beans, bell peppers, asparagus
• 16 ounces gnocchi (shelf stable)- refrigerated gnocchi can be used, just bring it to room temperature
• 1/4 cup olive oil 
• Seasoning– Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder
• Parmesan cheese, shredded (optional)

How to Make It

Preheat oven to 400°F.

In a large bowl, combine the broccoli and gnocchi.

In a measuring cup, whisk together ¼ cup olive oil with the seasonings. Pour the seasoned oil over the broccoli and gnocchi, tossing to coat evenly.

Spread the mixture onto a large sheet pan and add the sliced sausage.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the gnocchi is golden and the broccoli is tender.

While warm, sprinkle with shredded Parmesan cheese (if desired).

Tips

• Use shelf-stable gnocchi – No need to boil! Just toss it right on the sheet pan. The high heat will crisp the edges while keeping the inside tender.
• Slice the sausage into even pieces – This ensures every bite gets perfectly caramelized.
• Cut the broccoli into similar-sized florets – This helps it roast evenly and get those delicious crispy edges.
• Spread everything out in a single layer – Overcrowding the pan will cause steaming instead of roasting. Spread everything onto 2 sheet pans if necessary.
• Add sliced bell peppers, onions, or zucchini for more color and variety.

Finishing

• Add a squeeze of lemon juice after baking – It brightens up the dish
• Sprinkle with Parmesan or red pepper flakes for an extra flavor boost.
• Drizzle with a light balsamic glaze or honey mustard after baking for a sweet-savory finish.
• Serve with a side salad (if desired) and bread.
• Top of dinner with this No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie
