Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 links chicken sausage (Italian-flavored, fully cooked)
- 3 cups baby potatoes (halved)
- 3 bell peppers (mixed colors, sliced into strips)
- 1 red onion (sliced into wedges)
- 2 zucchini (sliced into rounds)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning blend
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with nonstick spray.
Cut the chicken sausage links into 2-inch pieces and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved baby potatoes, sliced bell peppers, onion wedges, zucchini rounds, and minced garlic.
Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables and sprinkle them with the Italian seasoning blend, paprika, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat all the vegetables evenly in the oil and seasonings.
Spread the seasoned vegetables across the prepared baking sheet in an even layer. Nestle the chicken sausage pieces among the vegetables, ensuring everything is spaced out enough to cook evenly.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and golden, and the sausage is heated through.
For extra caramelization, broil the tray on high for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Sprinkle the dish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve hot as is or with crusty bread on the side to complete the meal.
