Cajun Style Sheet Pan Dinner

We fell in love with Louisiana last year when we went to Caddo Lake and New Orleans for spring break. The Bayou was so unique and beautiful, and NOLA has a charm and history like no other! We love the cooking, the melting pot of culture and the fun traditions we learned about there. This Cajun Style Sheet Pan Dinner would be the perfect main dish for a Mardi Gras Party. The andouille sausage, red beans and classic vegetables used in Louisiana make you feel you are transported straight to the Big Easy!

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 F degrees. Spray a large baking sheet (make sure it has a lip all the way around) with cooking spray, or drizzle with olive oil. Spread out sweet potato, bell peppers, beans, sausage, onions, and celery on the baking sheet. Sprinkle with garlic salt, pepper and Tony Chachere’s. Spray over top with cooking spray. If you are using olive oil, stir the vegetables around lightly for even coating of the oil.

Bake for 12-18 minutes until the vegetables are fork tender. Pull out of the oven and sprinkle with lemon juice. Top with hot sauce if desired. We like to serve this with rice. It’s also delicious with a slice of our Killer Cornbread or our Best Ever Biscuits!
