Ingredients

12 ounces pre-cooked chicken sausage, sliced into thick rounds

2 cups broccoli florets

1 medium zucchini, sliced into thick half-moons

1 medium yellow squash, sliced into thick half-moons

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 yellow bell pepper, sliced

1 small red onion, cut into chunks

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

3/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Slice the chicken sausage into thick rounds, then cut the broccoli, zucchini, yellow squash, bell peppers, and red onion into even pieces.

3. Add the sausage and vegetables to a large bowl or directly onto the sheet pan.

4. Drizzle with olive oil, then add garlic, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

5. Toss everything until the sausage and vegetables are evenly coated.

6. Spread the mixture in a single layer on the baking sheet, leaving space between pieces when possible.

7. Roast for 18 to 22 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and the sausage edges are browned.

8. Sprinkle Parmesan over the hot pan and return it to the oven for 2 to 3 minutes.

9. Finish with chopped parsley and fresh lemon juice, then serve warm.

Notes

Cut the vegetables into similar sizes so they roast evenly and finish at the same time as the sausage.

Do not overcrowd the pan, because too many vegetables packed together will steam instead of roast.

Add lemon juice after roasting for the freshest flavor and a brighter finish.
