A quick and easy sheet pan meal featuring Italian sausage and pre-sliced veggies, perfect for busy weeknights with minimal prep and cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Italian sausage links (mild or spicy)
  • 1 ½ cups pre-sliced bell peppers (mixed colors)
  • 1 cup pre-sliced red onions
  • 1 ½ cups pre-cut zucchini slices
  • 1 cup baby carrots
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy clean-up.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pre-sliced bell peppers, red onions, zucchini, and baby carrots.
  4. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then sprinkle garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss gently but thoroughly to coat evenly.
  5. Arrange the sausage links on one side of the sheet pan and the seasoned veggies on the other side in a single layer.
  6. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the sausage and stirring the veggies halfway through (around 12-15 minutes).
  7. Check that the sausage is cooked through (internal temperature of 160°F/71°C) and the veggies are tender with some crisp edges.
  8. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use pre-sliced veggies to save time and avoid chopping. Flip sausage and stir veggies halfway through roasting for even cooking. If oven runs hot, cover loosely with foil in last 5 minutes to prevent burning. Let sausage rest 5 minutes after roasting for juiciness. For gluten-free, check sausage label. For vegetarian, substitute plant-based sausage and add extra veggies.
