Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 2 cups baby potatoes (washed and patted dry)
- 1 medium broccoli head (cut into florets)
- 2 medium bell peppers (any color, cut into 1 inch pieces)
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
Protein
- 1 pound smoked sausage (chicken, turkey, pork, or beef, sliced into ¼-inch slices)
Seasonings & Extras
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- ½ teaspoon pepper (or to taste)
- ¼ cup Parmesan cheese (grated, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
- Prepare the veggies and sausage: Place all the vegetables except for the cherry tomatoes—baby potatoes, broccoli florets, and bell peppers—along with the sliced smoked sausage onto the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the mixture, then sprinkle with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss everything thoroughly to coat the sausage and veggies evenly. Spread out the mixture in a single, even layer to ensure uniform roasting.
- Start baking: Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 15 minutes, allowing the potatoes and denser vegetables to begin cooking.
- Add cherry tomatoes and stir: Carefully remove the sheet pan from the oven and add the cherry tomatoes on top. Use a spatula or tongs to gently flip or stir the ingredients, ensuring even cooking and mixing of flavors.
- Continue baking: Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are crisp-tender and the potatoes are fork-tender.
- Finish and serve: If desired, sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese immediately after removing from the oven. Serve the sausage and vegetables hot, either on their own or over a bed of rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
Notes
- Cut evenly: Keeping your veggies the same size ensures everything cooks evenly, avoiding crunchy potatoes or mushy broccoli.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan: Use two pans if necessary; overcrowding causes steaming instead of roasting.
- Switch it up: Feel free to use whatever sausage or veggies you have on hand; this is a perfect clear-the-fridge recipe.
- Want more flavor? Try sprinkling with red pepper flakes, drizzling with balsamic glaze, or squeezing fresh lemon juice over before serving.
