A flavorful and easy one-pan meal featuring savory Italian sausage, colorful bell peppers, and tender zucchini roasted to perfection with garlic and herbs.
1 pound Italian sausage links, sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
2 medium red bell peppers, seeded and sliced into 1/2-inch strips
2 medium yellow bell peppers, seeded and sliced into 1/2-inch strips
2 medium zucchini, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
1 medium red onion, peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch wedges
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large bowl, combine the sliced Italian sausage, red bell peppers, yellow bell peppers, zucchini, red onion, and minced garlic.
Drizzle the olive oil over the sausage and vegetables.
Sprinkle the dried oregano, dried basil, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper over the mixture.
Toss everything together until the sausage and vegetables are evenly coated with oil and seasonings.
Spread the sausage and vegetable mixture evenly on a large rimmed baking sheet in a single layer.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring once 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 freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
