Description
Discover the joy of simplicity and flavor with this Italian Sausage Sheet Pan Dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound Italian sausage links (mild or spicy)
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 red onion, sliced
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Begin by setting your oven to preheat at 400°F (200°C). Preheating ensures the sausages and vegetables cook evenly from the moment they are put in the oven.
- Place the Italian sausage links onto a large sheet pan. Around the sausages, arrange the sliced red and yellow bell peppers, onion, and zucchini. Ensure the vegetables are in a single layer to promote even cooking.
- Drizzle olive oil over the ingredients on the sheet. Then, sprinkle garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper evenly over everything. Use your hands or a spatula to toss the vegetables gently, ensuring they and the sausages are well-coated with the seasoning and oil.
- Place the sheet in your preheated oven and roast for 25 to 30 minutes. During this time, the sausages will cook through, and the veggies will become tender, absorbing the aromatic flavors.
- Once roasting is complete, allow the sausages to rest for a few minutes before slicing them. This resting period locks in the juices. Finally, garnish with fresh parsley before serving hot.
Notes
If using spicy sausage, adjust the salt and pepper to balance heat. Ensure vegetables are similar in size for even cooking. Consider using a broiler for the last few minutes for extra crispness.
