Instructions
- Heat your oven precisely to 400°F (200°C) with the rack positioned in the center position.
- Cut 1 lb of Cajun sausage into uniform 1-inch diagonal slices for even cooking.
- Dice 1 red, 1 yellow, and 1 green bell pepper into bite-sized ½-inch chunks that will roast consistently.
- Slice 1 medium zucchini into ¼-inch thick rounds and roughly chop 1 large red onion into similar-sized pieces.
- Pour 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil and 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning into a spacious mixing bowl.
- Add all chopped vegetables and sausage slices to the bowl, tossing thoroughly to ensure complete seasoning coverage.
- Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and prevent sticking.
- Arrange seasoned sausage and vegetables in a single layer without overcrowding to encourage proper caramelization.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, using tongs to redistribute ingredients halfway through cooking time.
- Remove when vegetables are tender and sausage edges turn golden brown with slight char marks.
Notes
- Grab a large bowl for tossing the ingredients to ensure every piece gets perfectly coated with Cajun seasoning and olive oil.
- Slice sausage and chop vegetables into similar-sized pieces so everything cooks evenly and looks beautiful on your sheet pan.
- For a lower-carb version, swap out bell peppers for cauliflower or broccoli and add extra protein like chicken or shrimp.
- Make cleanup super easy by using parchment paper, which prevents sticking and makes washing the baking sheet a breeze.
