Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz smoked sausage
- 2 medium zucchini
- 2 medium yellow squash
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium red onion
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 0.5 tsp smoked paprika
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese (optional)
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the smoked sausage into 1/2-inch rounds and set aside.
Chop the zucchini, yellow squash, and red bell pepper into bite-sized pieces. Halve the cherry tomatoes and thinly slice the red onion.
In a large bowl, combine the prepared vegetables and sausage.
Drizzle the olive oil over the mixture, then sprinkle with garlic powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything until evenly coated.
Spread the sausage and vegetable mixture onto a large baking sheet in an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized, and the sausage is heated through.
Optional: During the last 5 minutes of baking, sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the top and allow it to melt.
Once done, remove the baking sheet from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately as a standalone meal or pair with rice, couscous, or crusty bread for a heartier option.
