Ingredients
- 12 oz (340g) fully cooked chicken or pork sausage, sliced into ½-inch rounds
- 1 medium red onion, cut into wedges
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks
- 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into chunks
- 1 small zucchini, sliced into half-moons
- 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
- 3 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for serving)
- Lemon wedges, for garnish
Directions
Step 1: Prep the Veggies and Sausage
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup. Slice the sausage, chop your veggies, and halve the tomatoes.
Step 2: Toss and Season
Place the sausage and all the cut veggies onto the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with oregano, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together with your hands or a spatula until evenly coated and spread into a single layer.
Step 3: Roast
Roast in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, stirring halfway through. Everything should be tender and caramelized at the edges, and the sausage will be sizzling.
Step 4: Finish and Serve
Remove the sheet from the oven and immediately sprinkle crumbled feta and fresh parsley over top. Give it a gentle toss, and serve warm with lemon wedges on the side.
Notes
- Cut your veggies to similar sizes for even roasting and the perfect tender texture.
- For extra golden edges, use the convection setting if your oven has one.
- Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice just before serving for a bright, zesty finish.
Variations
- Low-Carb/Vegan Option: Swap sausage for plant-based links or chickpeas, and use vegan feta.
- Spicy Greek: Use spicy sausage and add crushed red pepper flakes for extra heat.
- One-Skillet Meal: Sauté everything in a large skillet over medium-high heat instead of roasting for a stovetop dinner.
Required Equipment
- Large baking sheet
- Parchment paper or foil (optional, for easy cleanup)
- Sharp knife and cutting board
- Mixing bowl (optional, for tossing veggies and sausage)
Storage Instructions
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or a skillet until warmed through. For longer storage, freeze for up to 2 months and thaw overnight before reheating.
Serving Suggestions & Pairings
- Pair with warm pita bread or fluffy rice for a heartier meal.
- Serve alongside a crisp Greek salad or tzatziki for extra freshness.
- Enjoy with a chilled glass of white wine or sparkling water infused with lemon.
Pro Tips
- Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet—use two if needed for perfectly roasted veggies.
- Add the feta just after roasting so it softens but doesn’t fully melt, preserving its creamy, crumbly texture.
- Switch up the herbs—try a sprinkle of fresh dill or mint for a twist on classic Greek flavor.
