Whole30 Harvest Sheet Pan Dinner
This Whole30 Harvest Sheet Pan Dinner is a sweet and savory combination of chicken sausage, apples, butternut squash, Brussels sprouts, and bacon. It is tossed in a delicious marinade and baked to perfection! It is a one pan meal the whole family will love. Paleo, gluten free, dairy free.
Happy September! It’s officially my favorite time of year. I love the change in season, cooler temps, cozy meals, pumpkins, apples, etc. It’s also my birthday month, which is another reason I love the month of September!
Back to school is also a crazy time for many of us. I realize things may look different with some kids at home for virtual learning, but that doesn’t mean we don’t need more easy one-pan meals! Sheet pan meals are my love language – I love how simple they are. This Whole30 Harvest Sheet Pan Dinner is a spin off of my Sausage, Potato, and Broccoli Sheet Pan Supper. The main similarity is the delicious marinade that everything gets tossed in before baking. That is what makes these sheet pan dinners stand out from the rest! They are so flavorful and never dry or boring. I feel like it’s easier to stick with a healthy eating plan when the food tastes good – amiright?!
What Ingredients do I need to make this Whole30 Harvest Sheet Pan Dinner?
You only need a few simple ingredients to make this meal.
- Chicken Sausage – You can really use any sausage you want, but I prefer Aidell’s Chicken Apple Sausage. It can be found in most grocery stores with the hot dogs and other deli meats/sausages. I get a 3-pack at Costco which comes with 5 sausages in each pack. I used 5 for this recipe.
- Butternut squash – I like to buy this pre-cut to save time. I used a 1 lb package. You can also use frozen pre-cut butternut squash.
- Brussels sprouts – 1 lb bag and cut then in half (after cutting off the stems/bottoms).
- Bacon – We like to get this from Butcher Box to ensure it’s sugar free and Whole30 friendly. I used a whole pack.
- Apples – My favorite type of apple for cooking and baking is Honeycrisp. They add the perfect amount of sweetness to this dish.
For the sauce:
- Olive oil
- coconut aminos
- dijon mustard – check your labels to ensure it does not have sugar or wine.
- garlic powder
- onion powder
- paprika
- salt
Since the bacon is pretty salty, I have cut the salt in half for this recipe compared to my other sheet pan recipes.
I also made an optional Garlic Aioli for dipping, and it’s pretty incredible! Ingredients:
- Mayo (I like Sir Kensington’s Avocado oil mayo and get it at Costco)
- Minced garlic
- Hot Sauce (My favorite is Frank’s Red Hot)
The sauce will stay good in the fridge for up to 3 days.
What size pan should I use?
I definitely suggest using a large sheet pan for this recipe. You can also use two smaller sheet pans. I think using one larger one ensures everything cooks at the same time and evenly. You can check out the one I have HERE.
It is 15 x 21 inches.
I also like to use parchment paper instead of foil so nothing sticks!
For this recipe, we cut up the bacon and cook it before everything else, and then toss everything in the bacon fat. This is what also gives this sheet pan dinner incredible flavor!

This has quickly become one of my go-to meal prep recipes! I never thought I liked Brussel sprouts until I tried them in this but they are delicious in this marinade. I’m recommending this to everyone I know!
I’m not a big brussel sprout fan, but this meal me realize I just wasn’t making them right. I didn’t think the sausage potato sheet pan could be beat, but this one is so good!
This recipe is a big hit with the whole family, even my nonpaleo husband! Thank you!
