At Sweet C’s, I add lots of tips in all of my recipes – because I am a home cook without any formal training, and I find I am more confident making dishes when I understand why it works, and what each ingredient means to the flavor of a recipe – my goal is for even the most beginner home cook to feel empowered in the kitchen.
I want each reader to walk away with a solid knowledge of each recipe, with all of the tips I’ve gathered from extensive testing of each recipe. I also answer questions my friends and family have asked about my recipes, to help everyone better understand the processes we use – and why!

One Pot Baked Vegan Chorizo Sheetpan Dinner
If you’re looking for. hearty, delicious meat-free dinner that even picky eaters will eat – this is one of my favorites.
We love serving this dish for meat-free mondays, during Lent, or anytime we’re looking for a spicy and hearty dinner that is filling and healthy – without meat. It’s great over rice in a bowl, in tacos or burritos, and in wraps. It’s also delicious served on it’s own, skillet-style.
While this dish doesn’t contain any meat, it is bursting with flavor! If you’re vegetarian, not vegan, you can top it with shredded cheese for even more flavor – or you could try a vegan cheese you love, too.
We hope you like this tasty dinner as much as we do!
How to Bake Vegan Chorizo and Vegetables
To make this one pot vegan dinner, you’ll need:
- Field roast chorizo – you can use another brand you love, but we’ve tested a few and think the texture and flavor of field roast’s chorizo sausages taste the meatiest and heartiest for picky meat-loving eaters.
- Yellow squash or zucchini – squash and zucchini are delicious when baked, and have a classic, clean flavor that pairs well with spicy foods and vegan substitutes.
- Onion – onion’s rich earthy flavor adds a subtle sweetness and a bit of a pungent, spicy kick.
- Shallot – shallot lends an earthy flavor similar to garlic and onion, with less heat and spice and a bit of sweet flavor that helps to tone down the spice in chorizo.
- Cremini mushrooms – cremini mushrooms take on a hearty, meat-like flavor when baked, and lend a soft, chewy texture to a sheet pan meal.
- Bell peppers – bell peppers are bright and beautiful, bringing a pop of color to your dinner and a bright, tangy, sweet, and earthy flavor.
- Green onions – green onions are a perfect subtly spicy accent to top sheet pan bakes with. They wilt quickly, so add at the very end or after cooking.
- Parchment paper – vegetables and vegan substitutes can stick horribly to baking sheets – even nonstick pans – so we suggest using parchment paper to bake this meal.
We will use the following method:
- Thoroughly wash all vegetables and remove vegan chorizo from plastic packaging.
- Slice vegetables into bite-size chinks – I aim for 1″ bites, or however you prefer to eat veggies. I sliced squash into half-moons, bell peppers into strips, and then 1″ bites, and onions into thin strips. Dice shallots.
- Lay parchment paper down on baking sheet and arrange chorizo and vegetables.
- Bake 25 minutes, stirring once to flip chorizo and brown vegetables on all sides.
- When chorizo is lightly browned and vegetables are soft and caramelized, remove from oven.
- Top with sliced green onions.
- Enjoy!
Tips to Perfect Vegan Chorizo and Vegetables
This recipe is simple and delicious, simply cut, season, and bake to tender perfection.
You can swap out other vegetables if you’d like – or add other ingredients to kick it up a notch, using some of our suggestions below:
- Add black or pinto beans for a heartier meal that sticks to your ribs without adding meat.
- Add zucchini for more squash flavor.
- Use eggplant for more meaty flavor.
- Broccoli gives a bright green pop and classic vegetal flavor families love.
- Cauliflower rice bakes beautifully with sausage bake for a one-pot rice bowl!
FAQs
Leftover vegan sausage bake can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to four days.
Vegan chorizo, like the meat variety, tends to give off a lot of liquid. We find it best to not add additional oil to prevent a slimy texture.
