The 40 minutes it takes this keto sheet pan meal to roast gives you time to finish up the kid’s homework, do the dishes, or maybe finally get around to painting your nails! Then simply pull it out of the oven and go directly to the table. Or into your meal prep containers for the week.
And when I tell you this keto sheet pan sausage & peppers recipe is easy, you can see by the above photo that I really mean it! You’re cutting the spaghetti squash in half, slicing up some onions, peppers, and parsley, and laying it all on the sheet pan with your sausage links.
A little salt, pepper, and olive oil and you’re in business.
This method results in perfectly cooked spaghetti squash that easily separates into lovely strands, as well as beautifully browned sausages with a slightly crisp exterior. It really doesn’t get much better!
If you prefer a sauce, you can serve this keto sheet pan sausage & peppers with my easy keto marinara sauce, and if you don’t have an issue with dairy, load it up with some mozzarella or Parmesan cheese!

Hubby and I just LOVE this recipe! It’s so easy and filling and includes the veggies l love… we use turkey breakfast sausages that come in a huge pack at Costco which we try to keep a good supply of in the freezer. Have made it several times since finding the recipe. Might do it again tomorrow!

How is it that the sausages aren’t overcooked, baking them at 400F for 40 minutes? I routinely bake sausages at 400F for about 8-10 min per side (17-18 minutes total) and they’re always well over 165 degrees internal at the 19 minute mark. Wouldn’t 40 minutes totally overdo it?
Mellissa Sevigny says
Sausages are so high fat that they don’t overcook this way, but they get a nicely seared exterior that makes the flavor and texture perfect in my opinion. By all means feel free to cook them for less time if that’s what you prefer.
Elizabeth F. says
Thanks, Mellissa. I suspected that was the case, as you explained. I’ll definitely try this recipe just as posted. Sounds yummy and right up my alley…..easy! :)
Jessica says
Love this easy recipe!! Comes together very fast and always makes enough for leftovers. My husband and I prefer brats to Italian sausage so that’s what we use…always keep some in the freezer, so this recipe is always in the rotation!

How many days will this last in the frig? I’m hoping it’s good for 5 days. Thanks
Mellissa Sevigny says
Yes it will last 5 days in the fridge, no problem.
Renee says
This is absolutely DELICIOUS! Thank you so much! Very easy to make and exceptional for leftover use. Fills a hangry person just right!
Linda says
Awesome recipe. I turn the sausage over after 20 minutes.

Charly says
I love this receipe and have used it several times for meal prepping lunch. Any tips or tricks for cutting the spaghetti squash in half? I always feel like I am going to lose a finger in the process!
★★★★★
Terrie says
I usually use a fork and prick around the squash where I’m going to cut it and put it in the microwave for z5 minutes.
Kelly says
This is a five-star recipe for its genius simplicity and great flavors. I am ALMOST embarrassed to admit that I need a recipe for baking sausage and veggies…like, really…but I have this in my binder and refer to it regularly. Maybe its the mommy brain that can’t seem to remember the cooking time and temp? Maybe its the feeling that if this is printed out and in my recipe binder then it really counts as a qualified meal and not something that I managed to put together at the last minute? It seriously seems so simple that it shouldn’t qualify…but it does, and in spades.
I tend to vary the veggies based on what I have in the fridge, keeping the time and temp the same. I love a burnt veggie anyway (and its OK because the bad carcinogens are just in burnt proteins, not veggies…so enjoy!). BUT, if I have a spaghetti squash it is wonderful because it gives me “noodles” for the rest of the week while my family has actual carbo-pasta.
I highly recommend trying this one, it is a GREAT meal-in-one-dish that you can whip together and feel good about!

Davina says
Is there an alternative to spaghetti squash? I can’t get it here
Mellissa Sevigny says
Try zucchini noodles Davina, but add them in the last 10 minutes of cooking so they don’t overcook~
Cristine says
I didn’t think I was going to like this since it was minimal spice added, but I love it. So quick and easy to make. Minimal clean up. It’s super tasty and will definitely add this to my list of regular meals.

Jessica says
Heck Yes!
Jo says
Deelish! We’ve made this 3-4 times in the last two months.
