A simple and flavorful sheet pan dinner featuring savory sausage, colorful bell peppers, and tender zucchini, all roasted to perfection for an easy and wholesome meal.
1 pound Italian turkey sausage links, sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
2 medium zucchinis, sliced into 1/2-inch thick rounds
1 large red bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1-inch strips
1 large yellow bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1-inch strips
1 medium red onion, peeled and cut into 1-inch wedges
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large bowl, combine the sliced turkey sausage, zucchini rounds, red and yellow bell pepper strips, and red onion wedges.
Drizzle the olive oil over the sausage and vegetables. Sprinkle with dried oregano, dried basil, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes if using.
Toss everything together until the sausage and vegetables are evenly coated with oil and seasonings.
Spread the mixture out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring the sausage and vegetables are evenly distributed and not overcrowded.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the sausage is cooked through and the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
Remove the sheet pan from the oven and, if desired, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top while still hot.
Serve warm directly from the sheet pan or transfer to a serving platter.
