Cajun Chicken Sausage and Veggie Sheet Pan

Cajun Chicken Sausage and Veggie Sheet Pan

One of my go to dinners when I am in a time crunch are sheet pan meals. They are perfect because you can just throw ingredients onto a pan, season and bake.

This is one of those meals for you that brings a lot of spice! If you have kids or aren’t a huge fan of spicy food, remove the red pepper flakes and only use half of the paprika. This should tone it down a bit.
