Ingredients
  

1 pound Italian sausage (choose between sweet or spicy based on your preference)

2 cups assorted bell peppers (sliced into bite-sized pieces)

1 medium red onion (sliced into wedges)

1 medium zucchini (sliced into ½-inch rounds)

1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)

3 cloves garlic (minced)

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon sea salt

½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Fresh basil leaves (for garnish, optional)

Grated Parmesan cheese (for serving, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to simplify the cleanup process later.

    Prepare Sausage and Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, add the Italian sausage, sliced bell peppers, red onion wedges, zucchini rounds, halved cherry tomatoes, and minced garlic.

      Add Seasoning: Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the sausage and vegetable mixture. Then, sprinkle in the dried oregano, thyme, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss everything thoroughly until all ingredients are well coated with the olive oil and seasonings.

        Arrange on Baking Sheet: Transfer the seasoned sausage and vegetable mixture to the prepared baking sheet. Spread everything out into a single even layer to ensure proper cooking and encourage caramelization.

          Roast in the Oven: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for approximately 25 to 30 minutes. Check for doneness; the sausages should be cooked through and the vegetables should be tender with a slight caramelization. Remember to stir the mixture halfway through the cooking time for even roasting.

            Serve: Once cooked, carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Allow the dish to cool for a few moments, then feel free to garnish with fresh basil leaves and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese for an extra layer of flavor.

              Enjoy: Serve the sizzling sausage and veggies hot as a satisfying meal on its own, or pair it with crusty bread or over a bed of rice for a more filling option!
