01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil to ensure easy cleanup.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, toss together sliced sausages, bell peppers, red onion, zucchinis, cherry tomatoes, and carrots.
03 - Drizzle olive oil over the combined ingredients. Sprinkle smoked paprika, Italian herbs, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, and chili flakes if desired. Toss well to coat evenly.
04 - Spread the seasoned mixture evenly in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
05 - Roast in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until vegetables are tender and sausages are browned.
06 - Remove from oven, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve immediately.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • One sheet pan means one thing to wash, which feels like a miracle on busy nights.
  • The sausage and vegetables create their own caramelized sauce as they roast, no gravy required.
  • It's naturally compatible with most diets and tastes impressive enough to serve to people who care about what they eat.
02 -
  • Don't skip the halfway stir or you'll end up with unevenly browned vegetables and sausage that's golden on one side and pale on the other.
  • Fully cooked halal sausage is your friend here because raw sausage tends to release liquid that prevents browning, while pre-cooked sausage caramelizes beautifully.
  • The vegetables will release moisture as they roast, but this is good; it creates a light, flavorful sauce that coats everything at the end.
03 -
  • Don't crowd the pan or you'll steam instead of roast; if your sheet is small, work in batches or use two sheets rather than piling everything up.
  • Check the sausage package to confirm it's fully cooked and halal-certified before buying; this detail makes the entire cooking process stress-free.
