Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 links chicken sausage
- 1 large zucchini
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 large yellow bell pepper
- 1 medium red onion
- 200 grams cherry tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 small garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the chicken sausages into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
Cut the zucchini into half-moon slices, and chop the red and yellow bell peppers into 1-inch pieces.
Slice the red onion into thick wedges, and halve the cherry tomatoes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sausage, zucchini, bell peppers, onion, and cherry tomatoes.
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the bowl.
Drizzle the mixture with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Toss everything together until the sausage and vegetables are well coated with the oil and spices.
Spread the sausage and vegetable mixture onto a large baking sheet in a single layer.
Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and starting to caramelize, and sausages are cooked through.
Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving platter.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
