Sausage and Green Beans Sheet Pan Dinner

A Sheet pan dinner with green beans, yellow squash, sausage, and topped with cheese.

Sheet pan dinners are the way to go, throw some green beans and sausage on a pan with a few other items and you’ll have dinner ready in no time. This is an easy way to do low-carb meal prep. You can your favorite variety of sausage.

What is a “Sheet Pan Dinner”

A sheet pan dinner is a method of making a complete meal on one sheet pan. Generally, everything is cooked at once. Occasionally you will bake part of the meal, add the rest, then finish baking.

Our goal is to create sheet pan dinner recipes that are low carb, keto, and THM friendly. This means there will be protein and lower-carb vegetables.

Personally, I love sheet pan dinners because I can use them for meal prepping food. I can feed my small family with minimal effort and still have leftovers for lunch the next day. Also, it makes for fewer dishes (which is always a win!).

Sausage, Green Beans, and Squash

The main stars of this easy sheet pan dinner are sausage and green beans. However, this also has a few other ingredients that make this meal what it is. Yellow squash or zucchini and cheese. When all of this comes together it is like a comforting casserole flavor.

My friend made a loaded green bean recipe which I could eat every day. It got me imagining what I could do with cheese and green beans as a sheet pan dinner. Boom. Add some protein and a few other flavors. Thus, this low carb sheet pan dinner was born.

Ingredients you’ll need for this low carb sheet pan recipe

Before I give you this list, I want to remind you that you can swap zucchini for yellow squash. They’re very similar. Yellow squash is slightly higher in carbohydrates but I use both frequently.

• Sausage – You can use any variety, chicken, pork, beef. Use your favorite. I love spicy sausage, so that is generally what I’ll use.
• Green Beans – Using fresh is a nice idea, but not always the most cost-effective. Frozen would also work fine. You might notice more water on your pan if you use frozen.
• Yellow Squash or Zucchini – You only need about 1/2 lb or one medium-large squash/zucchini. (Unless your zucchini is way overgrown, then you don’t want a large one, just use 1/2lb as your guide).
• Garlic – you’ll want to use a garlic press.
• Oil – I prefer avocado oil. You don’t need much oil since the sausage will have some fat that cooks out and adds to the flavor of the vegetables.
• Shredded Cheese – You can use your favorite variety. This recipe calls for 1 cup, but you can use more or less. Omit the cheese if you’re dairy-free. (You won’t be judged if you dump a lot of cheese on this… I just have to make nutrition facts and moderation is my aim in recipe development).
• Smoked paprika – One of my favorite spices, it adds so much flavor to any recipe.
• Salt and pepper – as usual, I don’t include the measurements of salt and pepper because some people like more, some like less. If I was to give you a measurement, I’d say probably 1/4 tsp salt and a few shakes of pepper.

Dairy-Free Option

If you’re dairy-free, simply omit the cheese or use a dairy-free cheese instead.
