Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
2. Step 2: Place 1 lb Italian sausage links on one side of the sheet pan. On the other side, spread 2 sliced zucchini (1/2-inch rounds), 1 large diced red bell pepper (1-inch pieces), 2 sliced yellow squash (1/2-inch rounds), and 1 medium red onion cut into 1-inch wedges.
3. Step 3: Drizzle 3 tbsp olive oil over the vegetables and sausage. Sprinkle 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper evenly over everything. Toss the vegetables gently to coat in the oil and seasonings.
4. Step 4: Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, turning the sausage halfway through and stirring the vegetables once, until the sausage is cooked through (internal temp 160°F) and vegetables are tender with crisp edges.
5. Step 5: Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
