Step By Step Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Place the baby potatoes, broccoli, bell peppers, zucchini, red onion, and sliced sausage onto the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the ingredients.
Sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper over everything.
Toss well until the vegetables and sausage are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
Spread the ingredients into a single layer to ensure even roasting.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking, until the potatoes are tender and the vegetables are lightly caramelized.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges if desired.
Variations To Try
Use chicken sausage, turkey sausage, or spicy Italian sausage for different flavors. Add carrots, Brussels sprouts, asparagus, mushrooms, or sweet potatoes for extra variety. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the vegetables before serving for added richness. Drizzle with balsamic glaze or pesto after roasting for even more flavor.
Freezing Or Restoring
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.
Reheat in the oven, air fryer, or microwave until thoroughly heated.
You can freeze the cooked sausage and vegetables for up to two months. Allow them to cool completely before placing them in freezer safe containers. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
Recipe Notes
Cut the vegetables into similar sized pieces so they cook evenly. Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet because this can cause the vegetables to steam instead of roast. Use fresh vegetables whenever possible for the best texture and flavor. Stir the ingredients halfway through baking to achieve even browning. Finish with fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice for a bright, fresh flavor.
