Sheet-Pan Sausage and Veggies

Happy Monday, friends! I’m giving Grace a break from cooking this week and I’m back in the kitchen with a super easy sheet-pan recipe inspired by SkinnyTaste. This recipe serves 4 so I double it for my crew.

What You Need

• 14 ounces turkey kielbasa, cut on the diagonal into 1/2-inch-thick slices
• 1 pound asparagus, trimmed, cut into 2-inch pieces (3 cups)
• 1 1/2 cups 8 ounces grape tomatoes, halved
• 1 large orange bell pepper, cut into 2-inch pieces (1 1⁄2 cups)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

What To Do

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a 20 × 14-inch baking sheet or two 14 × 10-inch pans with foil and grease well.
2. Arrange the kielbasa in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 12 to 15 minutes, until it starts to brown on the bottom.
3. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, toss together the veggies.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, sea salt, Italian seasoning, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper. Pour over the veggies and toss to coat.
5. When the kielbasa is done, remove the pan from the oven but leave it on. Flip the kielbasa pieces over and move them to one side of the pan, leaving space for the veggies.
6. Arrange the veggies in a single layer on the other side of the extra-large pan, or on the second pan if using two pans.
7. Roast for 18 to 20 minutes, until the veggies are tender and the kielbasa is further browned.

A little AMS tweak: If you’re okay with this recipe not being super “skinny,” I do recommend adding a couple of tablespoons of honey and balsamic vinegar to the mixture you coat your veggies with. So good and not that bad for you!

That’s all there’s to it! To add a little bulk for my boys, I’ll serve with some brown rice. Enjoy!
