Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 pound Italian sausage
Vegetables:
- 1 large red onion
- 2 bell peppers
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts
- 1 pound baby potatoes
- 4 cloves garlic
Seasonings and Liquids:
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Crank your oven to 400°F and position the rack right in the center of the cooking space.
- Chop 1 pound Italian sausage into 1-inch pieces, slice 1 large red onion into wedges, and dice 2 bell peppers into 1-inch chunks.
- Trim 1 pound Brussels sprouts and halve them, then chop 1 pound baby potatoes into similarly sized pieces.
- Grab a large mixing bowl and tumble in your chopped sausage, onion, peppers, Brussels sprouts, and potatoes.
- Drizzle 3 tablespoons olive oil and 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar over the ingredients, then sprinkle 1 teaspoon dried oregano, ½ teaspoon dried thyme, and ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes across the mixture.
- Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper, then toss everything until each ingredient gets a perfect coating.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread your sausage and vegetables in a single layer, ensuring nothing overlaps.
- Slide the sheet into the preheated 400°F oven and roast for 30-40 minutes, flipping everything around the 15-20 minute mark.
- Check that your sausage is fully cooked and vegetables are tender with crispy edges.
- Transfer to a serving platter, scatter some fresh parsley or grated Parmesan on top if you want, and serve while everything is hot and fragrant.
Notes
- Ensure even cooking by cutting vegetables and sausage into similar-sized pieces, which helps them roast uniformly.
- Make this dish gluten-free by selecting gluten-free sausage and checking that your balsamic vinegar is certified gluten-free.
- For a lower-carb version, swap potatoes with cauliflower florets or turnips, which roast beautifully and absorb seasonings wonderfully.
- Customize the herb blend to match your taste preferences by experimenting with rosemary, sage, or dried Italian seasoning instead of oregano and thyme.
