- 2 cups broccoli florets
Seasonings and Oil

- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Prepare Sausage: Slice the chicken sausage into ½-inch rounds to ensure even cooking and allow the flavors to meld with the vegetables.
- Chop Vegetables: Chop the zucchini into thick rounds, chop all the bell peppers and red onion into bite-sized pieces, and break the broccoli into small florets to promote uniform roasting.
- Toss Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the sliced sausage and vegetables. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together evenly to coat.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the sausage and vegetable mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure proper roasting and browning.
- Roast: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 25 to 30 minutes, tossing halfway through cooking to promote even browning and tenderness.
- Serve: Serve the roasted chicken sausage and veggies warm, either on their own or over rice or quinoa for a heartier meal.
- Store Leftovers: Transfer any leftovers to an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Notes
- You can substitute chicken sausage with turkey sausage or a plant-based sausage for variation.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like mushrooms or cherry tomatoes as preferred.
- If you prefer a spicier dish, add crushed red pepper flakes before roasting.
- Ensure vegetables are cut into similar-sized pieces to cook evenly.
- Leftovers can be reheated in the oven or microwave.
