Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 vegan sausages
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (bell peppers, zucchini, carrots)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Wash and chop all vegetables into roughly 1-inch pieces. Aim for uniform size to ensure even cooking. Bell peppers, zucchini, and carrots should be cut into similar-sized chunks.
- Slice vegan sausages diagonally into 1-inch thick rounds. This helps them cook evenly and creates more surface area for seasoning.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine chopped vegetables and sausage pieces. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated with seasonings.
- Spread the seasoned vegetables and sausages in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan. Ensure ingredients are not overcrowded to allow proper roasting and caramelization.
- Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring once halfway through cooking time to ensure even browning.
- Check for doneness by ensuring vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized, and sausages are heated through and have golden edges.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes. Serve hot, optionally garnishing with fresh herbs like parsley or chives.
Tips
- Cut vegetables and sausages uniformly to ensure even cooking and beautiful caramelization.
- Don't overcrowd the sheet pan—give ingredients space to roast, not steam.
- Use parchment paper for easy cleanup and perfect non-stick results.
- Experiment with different seasonings like smoked paprika or Italian herbs to customize flavor.
- For extra crispiness, consider broiling for 2-3 minutes at the end of cooking.
- Let the dish rest briefly after cooking to allow flavors to meld and settle.
- Meal prep friendly: This recipe can be prepared in advance and reheated for quick weeknight dinners.
