Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Place 1.5 pounds sliced chicken sausage, 1 trimmed and cut into 1-inch wedges fennel bulb, and 2 cups cherry tomatoes on a large rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil, then sprinkle with 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
- Step 2: Arrange sausage and vegetables in a single layer, ensuring fennel wedges sit cut-side down. Roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until sausage is golden and fennel is tender with slight char at edges.
- Step 3: Remove from oven and let rest 5 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
