Ingredients

Scale

4 fully cooked chicken sausages, sliced
2 medium zucchinis, sliced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
1 small head of broccoli, cut into florets
1 small red onion, sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Optional: grated Parmesan cheese
Optional: chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This temperature is crucial for roasting your ingredients to achieve a delicious caramelization while keeping them tender.
Slice the chicken sausages into 1/2-inch rounds. Chop all your vegetables into uniform pieces. Maintaining similar sizes helps them cook evenly, ensuring that nothing gets overdone or undercooked.
In a mixing bowl or directly on the sheet pan, combine your sliced sausages, chopped vegetables, olive oil, and seasonings. Toss everything well to ensure that the sausages and veggies are evenly coated with oil and spices. This step is vital as it amplifies the flavors.
Spread the mixture on a large sheet pan in a single layer. It’s essential not to overcrowd the pan to allow even cooking and proper caramelization of the ingredients.
Roast everything in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. Be sure to stir halfway through the cooking time, so everything cooks evenly and gets a chance to caramelize beautifully. The sausages should get a nice color, and the veggies should be tender and a little charred.
Once cooked, remove your sheet pan from the oven. For a fresh finish, sprinkle with chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese, if desired. This adds a lovely burst of flavor and a restaurant-quality touch to your home-cooked meal.
