Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 1 pound baby potatoes (larger ones cut into 8 chunks, smaller ones cut into 4 chunks)
- 1/2 pound trimmed and halved green beans
- 1 (12-oz) bag broccoli florets, halved if large
- 2 medium red bell peppers (diced into 1-inch pieces)
- 8 oz sliced mushrooms
- 1 medium onion (peeled and cut into thin wedges)
Protein
- 14 oz smoked sausage (turkey, mixed, or kielbasa all work), cut into 1/2 inch rounds
Seasonings and Oil
- 5 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 tablespoon dried parsley
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon ground paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Optional Toppings
- Grated Parmesan
- Lemon juice
- Fresh chopped parsley
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat your oven to 410°F (210°C). Line one 3/4 sheet pan or two 1/2 sheet pans with either foil or baking parchment, depending on your preferred texture—foil for crisper edges, parchment for more pan juices.
- Season: Arrange all the chopped vegetables and sliced sausage on the prepared sheet pan(s) or place them in a very large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle the dried parsley, Italian seasoning, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything thoroughly to ensure every piece is evenly coated with the oil and seasoning.
- Bake: Place the sheet pan(s) in the preheated oven and roast for 20 to 25 minutes. About halfway through, stir the ingredients to promote even cooking and browning. Bake until the vegetables are tender and starting to brown and the sausage is cooked through.
- Serve: Once out of the oven, optionally sprinkle the dish with grated Parmesan, a squeeze of lemon juice, and fresh parsley for bright flavor. Serve immediately while hot and enjoy a delicious, hearty meal.
Notes
- You can use turkey, mixed, or kielbasa smoked sausage according to your preference or dietary needs.
- Foil will give you crispier veggies and sausage edges, while parchment paper helps retain juicier pan drippings.
- If baby potatoes are large, cutting them into smaller chunks helps them cook evenly with the other vegetables.
- Feel free to add or swap out vegetables based on seasonality or personal preference, such as zucchini or carrots.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for 3-4 days and reheated in a skillet or oven to retain crispiness.
