Ingredients
  

1 lb Italian sausage (mild or spicy, your choice)

2 cups bell peppers (red, yellow, and green), sliced

1 medium red onion, sliced

1 zucchini, sliced into half-moons

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried basil

1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional for extra heat)

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley or basil, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Prepare the Vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the sliced bell peppers, red onion, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, and minced garlic. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with oregano, basil, crushed red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. Toss until the vegetables are evenly coated.

      Arrange on Sheet Pan: Spread the seasoned vegetables evenly on a large, rimmed baking sheet.

        Add Sausage: Slice the Italian sausage into 1-inch pieces and scatter them over the vegetables on the sheet pan.

          Roast: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the sausage is browned and cooked through, and the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized. Stir halfway through cooking to ensure even roasting.

            Finish and Serve: Once ready, remove the sheet pan from the oven. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley or basil for a burst of freshness. Serve warm and enjoy your vibrant, hearty meal!
