Ingredients
Scale
Sausage
- 4 fully cooked chicken sausages, sliced
Vegetables
- 2 medium zucchinis, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 small head of broccoli, cut into florets
- 1 small red onion, sliced
Seasonings and Oils
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Optional Garnishes

Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure a hot environment for roasting the sausage and vegetables evenly.
- Prepare Ingredients: Slice the fully cooked chicken sausages into 1/2-inch rounds. Chop all vegetables—the zucchinis, red and yellow bell peppers, broccoli, and red onion—into uniform pieces for even cooking.
- Combine and Season: In a large bowl or directly on the sheet pan, combine the sliced sausage and chopped vegetables. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together thoroughly to coat evenly.
- Arrange on Sheet Pan: Spread the sausage and vegetable mixture out on a large sheet pan in a single layer to promote even roasting and caramelization.
- Roast: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and roast for 25 to 30 minutes. Stir the mixture halfway through cooking to ensure all sides brown evenly.
- Garnish and Serve: Once roasted, remove from the oven and, if desired, garnish with chopped fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese. Serve hot and enjoy your flavorful, effortless sheet pan meal.
