How to make it? It’s simple!
I usually clean out my refrigerator for these types of meals for leftover vegetables from other meals. For this batch, I used zucchini, onions, yellow pepper, orange pepper, garlic, and fresh parsley. I also keep ALFRESCO chicken sausages on hand at all times in my refrigerator. It’s a delicious go to and it comes in so many varieties to satisfy all those taste buds.
For this meal, I used the Sweet Apple with Vermont Maple Sugar Chicken Sausage. It is delicious!
First, I cut up all the vegetables and placed them in a large bowl. Then, I tossed them with Avocado Oil, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Finally, I lined a sheet pan with parchment paper and placed the vegetables on it.
The oven was ready at 400 degrees and cooked the vegetables for 15 minutes. After the 15 minutes, I added the fully cooked ALFRESCO sausage to the sheet pan and baked it all for an additional 10 minutes. To crisp up the tops of the sausages, I turned on the broiler on low for 4 minutes. This is optional.
I chose Jasmin rice to pair with this meal and it was delicious. You may pair with anything you wish including quinoa or pasta. you may even wrap a sausage and vegetables into a tortilla. There are so many options for this.
