Let’s Make it together

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grab a large baking sheet and line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup later.

Sauté the Sausages: Heat some olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced sausages until browned on all sides—about 5-7 minutes should do it.

Add Aromatics: Toss in chopped onions and minced garlic into the skillet. Stir until fragrant and onions turn translucent; you’ll know it’s ready when they become sweet-smelling.

Add Veggies: Now combine sliced bell peppers and zucchini into the skillet. Stir everything together until well-coated in oils and spices.

Season Generously: Sprinkle Italian seasoning along with salt and pepper over the mixture. Give it another good stir to distribute all those delightful flavors evenly.

Roast Away: Transfer everything from the skillet onto your lined baking sheet. Spread them out evenly for optimal roasting—no one likes soggy veggies!

Bake Until Tender: Pop that glorious tray into the oven! Bake for 25-30 minutes or until veggies are tender and sausages are cooked through—the aroma will be amazing!

Now you’re ready to serve! Pair this dish with crusty bread or over rice for an unforgettable culinary experience. Enjoy every bite as you relish both flavor and memories created around your table!
