A quick and easy 30-minute sheet pan dinner featuring lean chicken or turkey sausage roasted alongside a colorful mix of vegetables, seasoned with smoked paprika and herbs for a wholesome, flavorful meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 links (about 12 ounces / 340 grams) chicken or turkey sausage, sliced into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 medium zucchinis, sliced into half-moons
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 small red onion, cut into wedges
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, whole or halved
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • A handful fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash and chop zucchini, bell pepper, onion, broccoli, and cherry tomatoes into uniform sizes.
  3. Slice the chicken or turkey sausage into roughly 1-inch pieces.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, toss the vegetables and sausage pieces with olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes until evenly coated.
  5. Spread the mixture out in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet, avoiding overcrowding.
  6. Roast for about 20 minutes, tossing and turning the sausage and veggies halfway through (around 10 minutes) for even browning.
  7. Check that the sausage is browned and cooked through (internal temp around 165°F / 74°C) and vegetables are tender with caramelized edges.
  8. Optionally broil for 2-3 minutes for extra crispiness, watching closely to avoid burning.
  9. Remove from oven, sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the top, and serve immediately.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan to prevent steaming. Toss halfway through roasting for even browning. Use fresh or fully thawed vegetables for best texture. Optionally broil for extra crispiness. Choose lean chicken or turkey sausage for a healthier option. Leftovers store well up to 3 days and reheat best in oven or skillet to maintain crispness.
