Ingredients
Scale
Sausage and Vegetables
- 12 ounces sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
- 1/2 red onion, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 orange bell pepper, sliced
- 1 zucchini, cut into 1/4-inch half moons
Seasonings and Oil
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven. Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for roasting the sausage and vegetables.
- Prepare ingredients on the sheet pan. Toss the sliced sausage, red onion, red and orange bell peppers, and olive oil together on a large sheet pan to evenly coat everything with oil.
- Season the mixture. Sprinkle paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper over the sausage and vegetables. Spread the mixture into a single, even layer on the pan for thorough cooking.
- Bake until tender. Place the sheet pan in the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and the sausage is cooked through with a slight caramelization.
- Serve. Remove from oven and serve immediately. For a heartier meal, consider pairing the sausage and veggies with cooked rice.
Notes
- Use pre-cooked sausage for quicker preparation; if using raw sausage, ensure it’s fully cooked before serving.
- Feel free to swap bell peppers with other vegetables like asparagus or broccoli based on preference.
- Adjust seasonings to taste, adding chili flakes for extra heat if desired.
- Line the sheet pan with foil or parchment paper for easier cleanup.
- This dish pairs well with rice, quinoa, or crusty bread for a complete meal.
