• French Green Beans / Haricot Verts, already trimmed and fresh. You can usually find them already packaged in the produce section.

• Shallots: you can also use red onion or white onion.
• Garlic: fresh garlic to slice.
• Olive oil is good for one-sheet pan meals; you can also use extra olive oil or any other option listed below.

How to make it the Roasted Sausages and Sweet Potatoes

Cooking the vegetables and sausage together reduces prep work and makes for easy cleanup afterward. It’s a pure comfort food meal that you can feel good about serving.

1. First, you need to preheat the oven to 425°F and then prep all the vegetables and sausages and set aside while preparing the oil and seasoning mixture.
2. When the Za’atar seasoning has blended well with the oil, pour over the vegetables and the sausages and place in a baking dish in an even layer.
3. Roast in the oven and serve hot when ready.  

This can be a meal by itself or you can add a salad with it. Don’t forget to add a delicious dessert, like roasted pineapple. You can have both the sheet pan and the pineapple roasting at the same time.
