Delicious One-Pan Italian Sausage Meal-Prep Bowls that only require a handful of everyday ingredients, and they will make an easy lunch for your busy week.
You may have noticed that my recipes this year are getting easier and easier to make. These recipes are normally one-pan meals and are done in 30-40 minutes (here are some examples: Low-carb Lettuce Wrap Sandwich, Slow Cooker Italian Sausage and Peppers, Spicy Salmon Sweet Potato Skilletand Spicy Chicken with Cauliflower Rice).
This is one of my goals for this year: to create super-easy and good-for-you recipes for my busy audience. That’s why this week I’m sharing with you another meal prep recipe that is totally satisfying.
Reasons why you’ll love this One-Pan Italian Sausage Meal-Prep Bowls:
- As the name of this recipe says, this One-Pan Italian Sausage Meal-Prep Bowls is cooked on one sheet pan, which makes clean up a breeze.
- The total cooking time is only 35 to 40 minutes. It depends on how tender you prefer your veggies to be.
- It’s low-carb, whole30, paleo, and gluten-free. And if you’re vegetarian or vegan, you can replace the sausage with tofu.
- It’s a fresh, hearty, and comforting meal for a quick lunch.
- It requires just a few minutes of hands-on time, and the oven does the rest of the work for you.
- This One-Pan Italian Sausage Meal-Prep Bowls recipe requires only a handful of ingredients.
- The yellow mustard is simple, but delicious, and adds a little kick to this meal, and goes really well with broccoli.
Can I replace Italian Sausage with other types of protein?
Yes, you can. This recipe works great with chicken breast, too. But the total cooking time will be around 20 or 25 minutes. The chicken will be cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. However, I love sausage for this recipe in particular. I love how tasty it is. The important thing is getting a good quality sausage like I do with my Low-Carb Sheet Pan Sausage and Veggies, Italian Sausage, Onions and Peppers Skillet, and Italian Sausage Tomato Sauce Recipe. I skip any that have nitrite and fillers.
Which type of meal-prep container do you recommend?
I prefer to use glass containers that…
- Have leak-proof lids to avoid spills.
- Have a good quality glass to avoid breaking easily.
- Is safe to use in the microwave, and it’s freezer-safe tempered glass too.
At Amazon.com, you can find a huge variety of glass containers in different sizes and with or without compartments.

Ingredients
- 17 oz 5 links spicy pork sausage (cut into 3/4-inch pieces)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon of juice
- salt and ground pepper
- 1 large or 2 small head of broccoli, cut into small florets
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes cut in half
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450° F and line a sheet pan with foil or parchment paper.
- Place the sausage on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl whisk together olive oil, yellow mustard, lemon juice and salt and pepper.
- Remove the sausage from the oven, flip them and add broccoli and cherry tomatoes.
- Pour the mustard mixture over the veggies and toss well to combine.

Tips
- Feel free to use any type of Italian sausage for these meal prep bowls.
- Make sure not to overcrowd the pan when adding the ingredients. This will allow for better browning on the sausages.
- A large sheet pan will also prevent the broccoli from steaming and will brown better as well.
- To store: Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
- To reheat: You can reheat this sausage meal prep in the microwave.

Accidentally bought fully cooked chicken sausage, can I use this and maybe just throw veggies in with chicken and bake for total like 15 minutes?
Olivia Ribas says

This recipe is OUTSTANDING! So packed with flavor & perfect for both meal prep or a very quick & easy weeknight dinner. I added an extra teaspoon of yellow mustard & some ranch seasoning to punch it up & after making it for the first time, I already know it’s going into my regular rotation.
