This Vegan Sausage Sheet Pan with Trader’s Joe’s Kale Gnocchi and Delicata Squash is super easy to make and includes some great ingredients like Trader Joe’s kale gnocchi, Beyond Meat Italian Sausage, Delicata squash (the best squash!), and of course the classics like garlic and onions. You can also meal prep this on Sunday and have lunch for the week. It tastes just as good reheated. The colors even make this look festive enough to serve as a Thanksgiving vegan side or low carb stuffing.
Also, its a versatile recipe, see my notes on substitutions below.
Ingredients & Substitutions for Vegan Sausage Sheet Pan with Trader Joe’s Gnocchi and Delicata Squash
Trader Joe’s Kale Gnocchi– I tried this recipe with the kale gnocchi but the Trader Joe’s Cauliflower gnocchi, or any other frozen gnocchi should work fine.
Vegan Sausage– I used Field Roast Italian Sausage but Beyond Meat Italian Sausage or another brand will work also. I always buy the Italian sausage flavor in either brand but if you have another preference that is fine. This recipe is not overpowered by spice so you can even use the Field Roast Chipotle flavor and it will taste good here with the squash. If you use Beyond however, keep in mind that the texture is squishier than Field Roast so be careful when cutting it into pieces. Links to both are below (not an ad):

Delicata Squash– In my opinion, the best squash. Delicata is the easiest to cut and you don’t even have to peel the skin. Also when you cut rings, it looks a flower. Delicata also has the the most wonderful slight sweet flavor. But…you can also use acorn squash if that is what you have. Acorn squash will be a little tougher to cut but the cooking time should be similar. Butternut squash cubes may work but I have not tried.
Onion– Yellow onions are used in this recipe. Feel free to use red or white onions instead if that is what you have.
