- 1 large red onion, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 2 cups zucchini, sliced into half-moons (about 2 small zucchini)
- 1 1/2 cups baby potatoes, halved

- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

How to Make Easy Roasted Sausages and Veggies
Step 1: Prep the Veggies and Sausages
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Slice all your vegetables as instructed and cut the sausages into thirds (or leave them whole for chunkier bites).
Step 2: Season Everything
In a big mixing bowl, toss the bell peppers, red onion, zucchini, and baby potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined so every bite is deliciously seasoned.
Step 3: Arrange on Baking Sheet
Spread veggies evenly in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Nestle the sausages among the veggies, making sure they’re spaced out for even roasting.
Step 4: Roast to Perfection
Roast in the preheated oven for 25–28 minutes, stirring halfway through. If you like extra golden edges, broil for an additional 2–3 minutes at the end. Sausages should be browned and cooked through (internal temp of 160°F/71°C).
Step 5: Garnish & Serve
Remove from oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot. Enjoy straight from the pan or over a bed of fluffy rice!
Notes
- Cut your veggies uniformly for even roasting.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan—a roomy single layer guarantees crispy veggies.
- Check sausage doneness with a meat thermometer for best results.
Variations
- Chicken Sausage & Sweet Potato: Swap in your favorite chicken sausage and use sweet potatoes for a sweeter twist.
- Spicy Cajun: Mix in Cajun seasoning and use andouille sausage for bold Southern flavor.
- Vegetarian Option: Replace sausages with plant-based links and load up on extra veggies like mushrooms and brussels sprouts.

Storage Instructions
Store leftover roasted sausages and veggies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, warm in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 10 minutes or microwave in 1-minute bursts until heated through. Not recommended for freezing, as veggies may become mushy.

Pro Tips for the Best Roasted Sausages & Veggies

- Add the most delicate veggies (like zucchini) in the last 10 minutes if you prefer them firmer.
FAQ
Can I use frozen veggies?
Yes, but thaw and pat them dry first to avoid sogginess—the veggies may roast a bit softer.
What if I don’t have Italian seasoning?
Use a mix of dried basil, oregano, thyme, and rosemary or any favorite herb blend.
Are leftovers good for meal prep?
Absolutely! This dish is just as tasty reheated and perfect for easy grab-and-go lunches.
