Aside from being delicious, This one-tray vegan sausage bake is probably one of the easiest dinners you’ll ever make. It only takes about five minutes of prep time and then bakes for just a half an hour. It’s a flavourful and comforting meal that is gluten-free and vegan.
As for putting it all together, it couldn’t be much simpler! Simply chop up the veg, throw everything in topped with harissa paste, olive oil and herbs, and bake! That’s really it!

Ingredients to make Sausage Tray Bake
- Sausages – I used vegan sausages, but any will work. If you are looking for more sausage recipes do try my Sausage Pasta Bake.
- Red Onions – are my favourite onions when it comes to great flavour.
- Garlic Cloves – are such a great addition to almost every savoury meal.
- Sweet Potato – has a fabulous flavour, especially when roasted.
- Aubergine – also known as eggplant, adds a nice pop of colour.
- Pepper – Any colour pepper will do. I used a red pepper.
- Tomatoes on the Vine – While small, they pack a fantastic flavour!
- Dried Oregano – is optional, but does add a nice flavour.
- Harissa Paste – this is my secret hero ingredient for this sausage traybake. Harissa paste is a North-African chilli paste which adds the perfect equilibrium of heat and flavour without it being too over powering. This will definitely become a store cupboard favourite once you try it!
- Olive Oil – helps to roast up these vegetables.
- Salt and Pepper – bring out the delicious natural flavours in the vegetables.

Substitutions

- Vegetables – One of the best parts of this recipe is how versatile it is! Feel free to use whatever vegetables you happen to have on hand – potatoes, squash, carrots, etc. You could even add in some apple!
- Oregano – Another way to vary this recipe is to change up which seasoning you use. Throw on your favourite combination!
- Harissa Paste – If you can’t get any or what to make it without simply just leave it out.
Variations
- Spicy – Some cayenne sprinkled on top or extra harissa paste along with the salt and pepper will spice up this Easy Sausage Tray Bake nicely.
- Deluxe – Sprinkle some vegan cheese on top and broil/grill for the last couple of minutes for an extra nice flavour and crunch.
- Kid friendly – Be sure to use vegetables your kids already know and love to ensure they’ll partake!

Recipe FAQs
Yes! It will freeze for up to three months. When ready to eat, thaw and then reheat in the oven or air fryer to crisp them up.
Honestly, this Mediterranean sausage tray bake is great on it’s own! If you do want more with it, consider carmelised onion, bread, or a fresh salad.
You can, but I would defrost them first. As long as they’re defrosted, they should cook up just as well.
It’s very important to have your vegetables cut to similar sizes to make sure they cook evenly. Also, be sure they are in a single layer and spread out well so the heat can get to everything.

Notes
Nutrition
This looks yummy . Love a tray bake. Still not tried an aubergine. Looks nice. Does it roast quickly? Also my sausages always take about 45 minutes. Are you using the thin ones? Might start them early, do like them well browned. I can never get the timing right on a traybake
