Sheet Pan BBQ Sausage and Bell Peppers
with roasted sweet potatoes / cauliflower rice

Active: 30 min Total: 1 hr
We got the inspiration for this sweet and savory meal with BBQ sauce and pineapples from Foil Packet Hawaiian BBQ Sausage. This time around, we're using similar flavors but transforming it into a sheet pan meal.
Smarts: To account for the different cook times / speeds of all of the ingredients, use two sheet pans and pull each out when it's ready.

Prep

  1. Cauliflower rice - (If prepping right before cooking, get oven heating before continuing with prep.) Pulse florets in a food processor until broken up into ‘rice’-sized bits. Cook rice in one of two ways: 1) Microwave for 4 to 5 minutes and then fold in butter. Season with some salt and pepper; or 2) Heat a pan over medium-high heat and add butter. Saute cauliflower in heated butter for ~5 minutes, until tender but still crunchy. Season to taste with some salt and pepper. Watch this video for the full how-to on cauliflower rice. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
  2. Sweet potatoes / Bell peppers / Onions / Sausage - Prep as directed. Store sweet potatoes in one container. Combine bell peppers, onions, and sausage in a second container. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
  3. Pineapple - Chop if using fresh or drain if using canned.
