Notes
Even cooking: Slice the vegetables evenly so they cook evenly. This prevents some pieces from overcooking while others are undercooked.
Preheating the sheet pan: Preheat your sheet pan and the oven. This helps achieve a nice sear and even cooking from the moment the ingredients hit the pan.
Spacing: Spread the vegetables and sausage slices evenly on the sheet pan for proper airflow and caramelization. Overcrowding can lead to steaming instead of roasting.
Timing for shrimp: Shrimp cook quickly, so add them to the sheet pan during the last few minutes of cooking to avoid overcooking and becoming tough.
Seasoning balance: Taste and adjust the seasoning of your sausage sheet pan dinner before and after cooking. Cajun seasoning can vary in intensity, so start with less and add more as you go.
