Wholefood had mild chicken sausage so we decided to try some since can’t find Davio’s in the stores but we’ll keep looking. I usually just make roasted vegetables but Lyn saw this in the globe so we gave it a try. We only did 1/2 recipe since there are only two of us. Will try again it’s great for what ever you have in the frig for veggies.
A sheet pan is a kitchen workhorse and your ticket to an easy weeknight. Use it to make a one-dish meal with minimal prep, layers of flavor, and streamlined cleanup. A typical sheet pan is a sturdy 13-by18-inch rimmed baking sheet, big enough to accommodate a variety of ingredients. Vegetables cooked on it at a relatively high temperature turn crispy on the outside with concentrated flavors. Chicken or turkey sausages are ideal companions to the vegetables, since they cook at about the same time. Give small golden potatoes a head start in the oven because they take a little longer than everything else. While they roast, prep broccolini, cherry tomatoes, yellow bell pepper, onion, and sausages. Make a few shallow slashes in the sausage casings so they don’t burst in the oven when they release steam. It’s a colorful meal that hands off most of the work to the oven.
1 pound baby golden potatoes, halved
¾ teaspoon Spanish smoked paprika (pimenton)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 bunch broccolini, ends trimmed
1 pint cherry tomatoes
1 yellow bell pepper, cored, seeded and cut into
1-inchwide strips
3 spring onions (golf ball-size bulbs), ends trimmed and bulbs quartered, or
1 medium yellow onion, halved and cut into thick slices
4 chicken or turkey sausages (about 1 pound), such as sweet or hot Italian sausage
1. Set the oven at 425 degrees. Have on hand a rimmed baking sheet.
2. On the baking sheet, spread the potatoes in one layer and sprinkle with smoked paprika, a few pinches of salt and black pepper, and 2 tablespoons of the oil. Toss to coat the potatoes. Roast them for 15 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, toss the broccolini, cherry tomatoes, bell pepper, onions, a pinch each of salt and black pepper, and the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil.
4. Make shallow cuts in the sausages on both sides in a few places.
5. Remove the potatoes from the oven. Arrange the sausages, broccolini, cherry tomatoes, bell pepper, and onions between and around the potatoes, keeping everything in one layer.
6. Return to the oven for 20 minutes, or until the sausages are cooked through and a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a sausage registers 165 degrees. If the sausages have not browned enough, turn on the broiler and let the sausages and vegetables brown for 3 to 4 minutes. (Total roasting time is 35 minutes.)
7. Divide the sausages and vegetables among 4 plates.
