Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 chicken sausages
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (bell peppers, zucchini, carrots)
- 2 tablespoons honey mustard
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- Wash and prepare the mixed vegetables: slice bell peppers into thin strips, dice zucchini into bite-sized pieces, and cut carrots into thin diagonal slices to ensure even cooking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss thoroughly to ensure all vegetables are evenly coated.
- Slice chicken sausages diagonally into 1/2-inch thick pieces to promote better caramelization and even cooking.
- Spread the prepared vegetables and sausage pieces evenly across the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are in a single layer without overcrowding.
- In a small bowl, whisk together honey mustard with a pinch of salt and pepper to create a uniform glaze.
- Drizzle the honey mustard glaze over the sausages and vegetables, using a brush or spoon to distribute evenly.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring once halfway through to ensure even browning.
- Check that the chicken sausages are fully cooked (internal temperature of 160°F) and vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving. Optionally, garnish with fresh chopped parsley or green onions.
Tips
- Cut vegetables and sausages uniformly to ensure even cooking and beautiful caramelization.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet - give ingredients space to roast, not steam.
- Use parchment paper for easy cleanup and preventing sticking.
- Whisk honey mustard glaze thoroughly to create a smooth, even coating.
- Stir ingredients halfway through cooking to promote consistent browning.
- Use a meat thermometer to confirm chicken sausages reach 160°F for food safety.
- Let the dish rest briefly after cooking to allow flavors to settle and juices to redistribute.
- Experiment with different vegetable combinations based on seasonal availability.
