Ingredients
Scale
Protein
- 4 chicken sausages (fully cooked, such as Italian or garlic herb), sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
Vegetables
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 zucchini, sliced into half-moons
- 1 small red onion, sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
Seasonings and Oil
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Garnish
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for roasting the ingredients evenly and caramelizing the vegetables.
- Prepare the mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced chicken sausages, red and yellow bell peppers, zucchini, red onion, and cherry tomatoes. Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle evenly with garlic powder, smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Toss thoroughly to coat all the ingredients with the oil and spices.
- Arrange for roasting: Spread the sausage and vegetable mixture in a single even layer on a large baking sheet or an oven-safe skillet to allow proper roasting and caramelization.
- Roast to perfection: Roast in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring once halfway through to ensure even cooking. The vegetables should be tender and lightly caramelized, and the sausage pieces browned.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot. This dish pairs wonderfully on its own or over rice, quinoa, or pasta for a heartier meal.
Notes
- Feel free to use any fully cooked sausage variety you prefer, such as spicy, apple, or chicken and spinach flavors.
- For a more filling dish, add potatoes or sweet potatoes by roasting them alone for 10 minutes first, then adding the rest of the ingredients before continuing to roast.
