    Pumpkin potato and sausage bake: this is a surprisingly delicious sheet pan dinner perfect for the season.

    Roasted Potatoes Pumpkin and Sausage Sheet Pan Dinner

    No time to spend in the kitchen? Well, a sheet pan dinner is always a good way out of that situation. Just a bit of chopping, put the pan in the oven, and you will have a wonderful, delicious, and real dinner in about an hour, with only maybe 15 minutes of actual work.

    And this particular pumpkin potato and sausage bake is the perfect easy, quick, and delicious seasonal dinner.

    I do make sheet pan dinners from time to time, but I realize now that they mostly revolve around chicken, for instance, these delicious Turmeric Chicken Legsย or Roasted Chicken Thighs with Potatoes or these Baked Mango Chicken.

    Well, this time, I used sausages instead of chicken, and what a delicious twist that was! And should you only have some frozen sausages in the freezer, check out How to Cook Frozen Sausages! You can adapt that for this recipe as well.

    • Pumpkin Potato and Sausage Bake

    What do you need?

    I adapted a recipe found in a wonderful Saxon cookbook, including many typical Saxon recipes. It was made on a whim. I did not even plan to post it, but while reading the recipe, I realized I still had a piece of pumpkin in the fridge and, untypically for me, a rather large cabanossi sausage. The original recipe calls for bratwurst or bacon, but I ignored that and used what I had.

    Sausage:

    • I had cabanossi, and they were delicious.
    • However, as already mentioned, you can use bratwurst or thicker bacon chunks.
    • Italian sausages, kielbasa, or other similar sausages would be fine as well.

    Pumpkin:

    • I always use either Hokkaido pumpkin (red Kuri squash) or butternut squash; they have the best flavor.
    • If choosing another sort, make sure it is a flavorful one.

    Other ingredients: potatoes, a little sugar and cinnamon for the pumpkin, and a little oil.

    Also, another change: the recipe calls for sprinkling the pumpkin slice with 3 tablespoons of sugar. Well, I did not dare to do that. Sprinkling sugar and cinnamon on the pumpkin, which is part of a savory sheet pan dinner, was already a wild idea for me, and I just could not bring myself to use it so much.

    So I only sprinkled the pumpkin with 1 tablespoon of sugar and ยฝ teaspoon of cinnamon, and that was just perfect for us. Much better than I thought it would be, the sweet cinnamon pumpkin was a perfect fit for those roasted potatoes and cabanossi; you should really give this dish a try. I think you would love it!

      Looks delicious! Your cabanossi sausage looks a lot better than the ones I see here. I love traybakes and like you, I mostly do chicken but I also traybake locally made sicilian sausages with potatoes, tomatoes and capsicum (sweet peppers). I actually like the flavour of cinnamon with pumpkin and always use it in my mashed pumpkin. Thanks for sharing!

      I had to google images of Sibiu - and you are so right - it is GORGEOUS! If and when I visit Romania, I will definitely have to stop there! But, back to this - this looks delicious - I'm a huge fan of sheet pan dinners - but it's been awhile since I bought pumpkin and roasted it - definitely a mist try! Hope you are having a wonderful week, Adina!
