Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp dried oregano, zest and juice of 1/2 lemon, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Place 12 oz sliced chicken sausage on a parchment-lined baking sheet and drizzle with half the spice mixture, tossing to coat evenly; set aside.
  3. Step 3: Toss 1 cup sliced zucchini, 1 cup sliced bell peppers, 1/2 cup sliced red onion, and 1 cup cherry tomatoes with the remaining spice mixture until well coated.
  4. Step 4: Arrange the coated vegetables around the sausage on the baking sheet, spreading in a single layer without crowding.
  5. Step 5: Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the sausage is browned and the vegetables are tender with slightly crispy edges, stirring once halfway through.
