Roasted sausage and veggies

Ingredients for easy dinner ideas

• 2 cups of chopped red potato
• 3 cups of chopped green beans
• 1 large head of broccoli 
• 2 chopped bell peppers 
• 400 grams of smoked sausage 
• 6 tablespoons olive oil
• ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes, 
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• ½  teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon each of dried oregano, dried parsley
• Salt & pepper
• Serve with: fresh parsley, rice, and  grated Parmesan cheese

 

Instructions for easy dinner ideas

Firstly, preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Set aside a fairly big sheet pan lined with parchment paper.

It’s critical to follow the recommendations while preparing the vegetables so that they all cook at the same time. The unpeeled baby red potatoes should be washed and chopped. The bits should be pretty little. I cut the tiny potatoes in half and then dice each half separately. This gives each potato a total of 12 pieces. Green beans should be trimmed and then sliced in half, broccoli should be chopped into florets, peppers should be chopped into 1-inch pieces, and sausage should be coined in thick slices.

Then place all of the vegetables and sausage on the sheet pan that has been prepped.

Pour the olive oil on top, along with all of the spices. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss the vegetables and sausage with your hands to evenly coat them with spices. Arrange everything so that there is enough room to cook. If the vegetables are crowded together, they will steam rather than roast, taking longer to cook.

Baking time

Bake for 15 minutes, then remove from the oven and turn/stir all of the vegetables. Return to the oven for a further 13 minutes, or until the veggies are crisp-tender.

Lastly, sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the vegetables and sausage right after they come out of the oven if preferred. If preferred, garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately. If preferred, serve over cooked rice.
