Scale
Main Proteins:
- 1 pound Italian sausage
Vegetables:
- 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
- 2 cup bell peppers, sliced
- 1 cup red onion, sliced
- 2 cup broccoli florets
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced
Seasonings and Oil:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to a precise 400°F, ensuring the rack sits in the center position for even cooking.
- Cover a large rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper, creating a non-stick surface for your meal.
- Slice 1 pound Italian sausage into 1-inch thick rounds, making sure each piece is uniform for consistent cooking.
- Chop 2 cups bell peppers, 1 cup red onion, 2 cups broccoli florets, and 1 medium zucchini into similar-sized pieces to ensure even roasting.
- Halve 1 pound baby potatoes to help them cook quickly and absorb seasonings.
- Toss all chopped vegetables in a large mixing bowl with 2 tablespoons olive oil, creating a light, even coating.
- Sprinkle the vegetable mixture with 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon paprika, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
- Spread the seasoned vegetables and sausage pieces across the prepared sheet pan in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding.
- Roast in the 400°F oven for 25-30 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through to guarantee uniform browning.
- Check that sausage reaches an internal temperature of 160°F and vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Remove from oven and garnish with ¼ cup freshly chopped parsley just before serving.
Notes
- Prep veggies uniformly to ensure even cooking and a gorgeous roasted texture.
- Arrange sausage and vegetables in a single layer without overcrowding to help them caramelize perfectly.
- For a low-carb version, swap potatoes with cauliflower or turnips and use chicken or turkey sausage.
- Let the sheet pan rest for 5 minutes after roasting to help vegetables absorb final flavors and juices.
