Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) chicken sausage, sliced into rounds (choose your preferred spice level)

2 medium zucchinis, sliced into half-moons

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 yellow bell pepper, diced

1 medium red onion, quartered

2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved

4 cloves garlic, minced

4 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) to create the perfect environment for roasting your dish.

    Prepare the Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced zucchinis, diced red and yellow bell peppers, quartered red onion, and halved cherry tomatoes. Stir the vegetables gently to begin blending the flavors.

      Season the Vegetables: Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the vegetable mixture. Sprinkle in the minced garlic, dried thyme, smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Toss everything together until all the vegetables are well coated in the flavorful oil and seasonings.

        Incorporate the Sausage: Add the sliced chicken sausage to the bowl with the seasoned vegetables. Toss everything again until the sausage is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

          Prepare the Baking Tray: Take a large baking sheet and spread the sausage and vegetable mixture in a single, even layer. This helps ensure that everything cooks uniformly and achieves that perfect roasted texture.

            Bake to Perfection: Place the baking sheet in your preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Keep an eye on it as the cooking time approaches – you're looking for tender vegetables and sausages that have developed a slight crisp on the outside.

              Serve It Up: Once out of the oven, let the dish cool for a few minutes. If using, garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness. Serve warm and enjoy the robust flavors.

                Pairing Suggestions: This one-pan dish marries wonderfully with crusty bread or can be complemented by a simple side salad for a delightful complete meal.
