A quick and easy one-pan meal featuring crispy baked chicken sausage and roasted vegetables, perfect for busy weeknights with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound chicken sausage, sliced into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 large bell pepper, sliced into strips (red, yellow, or orange)
  • 1 medium zucchini, cut into half-moons
  • 1 small red onion, cut into wedges
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, whole or halved
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, freshly ground, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, a handful chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Slice the chicken sausage into 1-inch pieces. Chop bell peppers into strips, zucchini into half-moons, red onion into wedges, and halve cherry tomatoes if large.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Whisk lightly to blend.
  4. Add the sausage pieces and chopped vegetables into the bowl. Toss gently but thoroughly to coat everything evenly with the oil and seasonings.
  5. Spread the sausage and veggies out in a single layer on a rimmed sheet pan, avoiding overcrowding.
  6. Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping or stirring once around the 15-minute mark, until sausage is golden and cooked through and vegetables are tender with caramelized edges.
  7. Check that the chicken sausage reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  8. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired before serving.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure crispiness. Use room temperature sausage for even browning. Add cherry tomatoes halfway through cooking if you want them less burst. Flipping halfway through roasting ensures even cooking. Adjust cooking time if using firmer vegetables like broccoli or sweet potatoes.
