A vibrant one-pan meal with sausage and mixed vegetables, roasted for a healthy, flavorful dinner.

# What You'll Need:

→ Proteins

01 - 14 oz chicken or turkey sausage, sliced into 1 cm rounds

→ Vegetables

02 - 1 red bell pepper, chopped
03 - 1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
04 - 1 orange bell pepper, chopped
05 - 1 small red onion, cut into wedges
06 - 1 medium zucchini, sliced
07 - 1 cup broccoli florets
08 - 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
09 - 1 cup baby carrots, halved lengthwise

→ Seasonings and Oils

10 - 3 tablespoons olive oil
11 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
12 - 1 teaspoon dried oregano
13 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
14 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
15 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, combine all chopped vegetables and sliced sausage.
03 - Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with smoked paprika, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly coated.
04 - Spread the vegetable and sausage mixture in a single layer across the prepared baking sheet.
05 - Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking, until vegetables are tender with light caramelization and sausage is thoroughly browned.
06 - Remove from oven and serve hot. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • Everything cooks on one pan, which means minimal cleanup and maximum flavor as the vegetables soak up the sausage drippings.
  • It's naturally gluten-free and dairy-free, so you can serve it to almost anyone without extra prep work.
  • The colors are so vibrant that even people who claim they don't like vegetables suddenly want seconds.
02 -
  • Don't skip the halfway stir—I learned this the hard way when my first batch had some vegetables tender and others still crunchy.
  • The oven temperature is crucial; if you go much lower, you'll steam vegetables instead of roasting them, and if you go higher, the outsides burn before the insides soften.
03 -
  • Cut your vegetables slightly larger than you think you need—they shrink more than you'd expect during roasting, and oversized pieces prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • Save any pan drippings and toss them with your serving base (rice, quinoa, or bread) to amplify the flavor throughout the meal.
