This dish features juicy sausage paired with a medley of roasted vegetables, all infused with flavorful seasonings. The result is a hearty meal that balances savory and sweet flavors, with a slight char from the roasting process that enhances the overall taste.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound (450g) sausage links (Italian, smoked, or your choice)

  • 2 cups bell peppers, sliced

  • 1 cup zucchini, chopped

  • 1 cup red onion, sliced

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
  • Prepare the Veggies: In a large bowl, combine the sliced bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion.
  • Season and Toss: Add the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss everything until evenly coated.
  • Add the Sausages: Slice the sausage links and add them to the veggie mixture. Toss again.
  • Spread on Sheet Pan: Spread the mixture evenly on a sheet pan in a single layer.
  • Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the sausages are cooked through and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
  • Serve: Portion the roasted sausage and veggies into containers with cooked rice or quinoa for a delicious meal prep option.

Key Prep Tips

  1. Use Pre-Cooked Sausage: Opt for pre-cooked sausage for quicker cooking and a crispier finish, or ensure raw sausage is cut into small pieces for even cooking.
  2. Cut Veggies Evenly: Chop vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, carrots, and potatoes into similar-sized pieces for uniform roasting.
  3. Season Generously: Toss veggies and sausage with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper for bold flavor.
  4. Roast at High Heat: Bake at 400°F (200°C) to ensure the vegetables caramelize and the sausage gets crispy edges.

Suggested Variations

  • Spice It Up: Add red pepper flakes or Cajun seasoning for a spicy kick.
  • Different Sausage Types: Use chicken sausage, Italian sausage, turkey sausage, or plant-based alternatives to suit your preference.
  • Seasonal Vegetables: Swap in asparagus, Brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, or green beans depending on the season.
  • Sauce Options: Drizzle with balsamic glaze, honey mustard, or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice after baking for added flavor.

Serving Suggestions

  • As a Standalone Meal: Serve straight from the sheet pan for an easy, no-fuss dinner.
  • With Sides: Pair with quinoa, rice, or crusty bread for a heartier meal.
  • Beverages: Complement with sparkling water, iced tea, or a light red wine.
  • Presentation: Garnish with fresh parsley or grated Parmesan cheese for an elegant touch.

Storage & Meal Prep

  • Refrigeration: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • Freezer-Friendly: Freeze in portions for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven or microwave, adding a drizzle of olive oil to refresh.
  • Batch Cooking: Double the recipe to ensure ready-made meals for busy days.
