This one pan dinner combines hearty chicken sausage, chickpeas, and a colorful mix of autumn veggies: butternut squash, red bell pepper, and brussels sprouts. The combination is roasted until golden, creating a cozy fall-inspired dish that’s perfect for busy weeknights or simple meal prep.

Not only is this sheet pan dinner quick and convenient, it’s also loaded with nutritional benefits. Chicken sausage offers lean protein to keep you satisfied, while chickpeas provide extra plant-based protein and fiber to support digestion and steady energy. Each serving of this meal has 24 grams of protein and nearly 12 grams of fiber! Butternut squash is rich in vitamin A and antioxidants, brussels sprouts provide vitamin C and vitamin K for immunity and bone health, and red bell peppers add even more vitamin C. It’s a nutrient-packed, balanced meal in one pan.

I like to top the bowls off with some balsamic vinegar glaze and grated parmesan cheese for some extra flavor. Other great topping ideas could include avocado slices, toasted nuts, or pumpkin seeds.

This recipe makes 3-4 servings and stores well in the fridge, making it ideal for meal prep. You can roast a batch and portion it out for healthy lunches or dinners throughout the week. You can even switch up the veggies depending on what’s in season or what you have in the fridge. I hope you enjoy this healthy sheet pan dinner! It’s so simple that it will quickly become a staple in your fall dinner rotation.
