Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound Italian sausage sweet or hot
  • 1 pound potatoes, cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 2 bell peppers, any color, seeded and chopped
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 1 head broccoli or cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Red pepper flakes optional
  • Fresh herbs rosemary, thyme, optional
  • Lemon juice optional

Equipment

  • Large sheet pan
  • Large bowl
  • cutting board
  • knife
  • Measuring spoons
  • Measuring cups
  • spatula
  • Oven
  • Fork (to check doneness)
  • Meat thermometer (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and chop all vegetables into roughly the same size pieces.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the sausage, potatoes, bell peppers, onion, and broccoli (or cauliflower) with olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Ensure everything is nicely coated.
  4. Spread the mixture in a single layer on a large sheet pan. Avoid overcrowding; use two sheet pans if necessary.
  5. Roast for 30-40 minutes, or until the sausage is cooked through and the vegetables are tender and slightly browned. Flip the sausage and veggies halfway through to ensure even cooking.
  6. Check for doneness: The sausage should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). The potatoes should be easily pierced with a fork.
  7. Serve immediately. Garnish with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon juice, if desired.

Notes

For perfectly roasted veggies, don't be afraid to let them get a little browned. This enhances their flavor. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) or in the microwave. Customize the recipe with different vegetables like Brussels sprouts, green beans, carrots, zucchini, or squash. Experiment with different types of sausage, such as chorizo or andouille. For a cheesy finish, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese during the last few minutes of roasting. A drizzle of maple syrup or honey before roasting adds a touch of sweetness. For a Mediterranean twist, add Kalamata olives, feta cheese, and a sprinkle of oregano.
