Ingredients
Scale
Sausages
- 4 sausages (pork, chicken, or your choice)
Vegetables
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (bell peppers, zucchini, carrots)
Seasoning & Oil
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking. This high heat ensures sausages cook through while vegetables become tender and flavorful.
- Arrange the sausages: Place the 4 sausages evenly spaced in a large baking dish, which will allow heat to circulate and cook them evenly.
- Add vegetables: Distribute the mixed vegetables (bell peppers, zucchini, and carrots) around the sausages in the dish to cook alongside.
- Season the dish: Drizzle the olive oil over the sausages and vegetables. Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper evenly to infuse all components with savory flavors.
- Toss to coat: Use a spoon or your hands to gently toss everything together, making sure the seasoning and oil are evenly distributed.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the sausages are fully cooked through (internal temperature of 160°F/71°C for pork or 165°F/74°C for poultry) and the vegetables are tender.
- Serve and enjoy: Remove from the oven and serve hot for a comforting, balanced meal bursting with joyful flavors.
Notes
- You can use any type of sausage such as pork, chicken, or turkey depending on preference and dietary needs.
- Feel free to swap the mixed vegetables with your favorites like broccoli, cherry tomatoes, or mushrooms.
- For a spicier dish, add red pepper flakes or smoked paprika to the seasoning.
- Check sausages with a meat thermometer to ensure safety and optimal doneness.
- Leftovers store well refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheat easily in the oven or microwave.
