Ingredients
  

1 pound Italian sausage (mild or spicy, your choice)

2 cups bell peppers (a mix of red, yellow, and green), sliced

1 large red onion, sliced

2 cups zucchini, sliced into half-moons

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 teaspoons dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme)

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley or basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the sliced bell peppers, red onion, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes. Add the minced garlic, dried Italian herbs, smoked paprika, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss until the veggies are well coated.

      Add the Sausages: Cut the Italian sausages into bite-sized pieces or leave them whole for a heartier option. Add them to the bowl with the veggies and toss lightly to mix.

        Spread on Baking Sheet: Transfer the sausage and vegetable mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it out evenly to allow for even roasting.

          Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the sausages are cooked through and the vegetables are tender and caramelized. Toss the mixture halfway through cooking for optimal roasting.

            Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or basil if desired. Serve hot, either on its own or with crusty bread or rice.
