Description

A quick and flavorful one-pan dish combining sausage and a colorful mix of vegetables, perfect for busy weeknights.


Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pack Italian sausage (mild Italian chicken sausage recommended) (Can substitute with chicken, turkey, or smoked sausage.)
  • 2 cups Bell peppers (sliced) (Use a mix of colors for better aesthetics.)
  • 1 medium Red onion (sliced) (Add sweetness when roasted.)
  • 1 cup Zucchini (sliced) (Cut into half moons or thick rounds.)
  • 1 cup Broccoli florets (Can pre-steam for faster cooking.)
  • 1 cup Carrots (sliced) (Cut into thick strips or half moons.)
  • 1 cup Cherry tomatoes (Add towards the end of cooking to keep them intact.)
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil (For roasting and sautéing.)
  • 2 teaspoons Garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons Onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika
  • 1.5 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon juice (To finish the dish.)
  • 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley (For garnish.)


Instructions

Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  2. Slice the sausage into rounds about the width of your pinky.
  3. Cut bell peppers and onions into thick strips to prevent burning.
  4. Slice zucchini and carrots into half moons.
  5. If using potatoes, cube them small for even cooking.
  6. Pat all vegetables dry with a paper towel and toss in a large bowl with olive oil and seasonings.

Cooking

  1. Spread the vegetables on a large sheet pan in a single layer.
  2. Roast the vegetables for 12 to 15 minutes.
  3. Add sliced sausage on top, stir, and roast for an additional 10 to 15 minutes until everything is browned and tender.
  4. Finish by drizzling lemon juice over the dish and sprinkling with chopped parsley.

Notes

For a speedy meal, use the skillet method: brown sausage in a skillet, remove, add hard vegetables, then softer ones, and finish with sauce.
