Description
This one pan chicken sausage and roasted vegetable meal is a vibrant, wholesome solution for busy weeknights. Featuring juicy chicken sausage, crisp broccoli, and sweet bell peppers, this dish relies on the Maillard reaction to deliver perfectly browned edges and jammy, concentrated sweetness. It is a simple, high-heat roasted dinner that minimizes cleanup while maximizing flavor and nutrition for a balanced family meal.
Ingredients
1 lb chicken sausage, sliced into rounds
2 cups broccoli florets
2 large bell peppers, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a large, heavy-duty rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a large bowl, toss the sliced chicken sausage, broccoli florets, and chopped bell peppers with olive oil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
Spread the mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring there is enough space between ingredients to prevent steaming.
Roast for 20 minutes, or until the broccoli is crisp-tender with toasted edges and the sausage is golden brown.
Serve warm immediately.
Notes
Use a heavy-duty rimmed baking sheet to ensure even heat distribution. For extra texture, toss in sliced onions or swap broccoli for cauliflower florets. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
