Chicken Sausage and Potato Sheet Pan Dinner

Ingredients:

1 pound baby potatoes

2 tablespoons olive oil divided

2 teaspoons Italian seasoning divided

1 teaspoon kosher salt

Freshly cracked black pepper

4 links chicken sausage (my favorite is Trader Joe’s garlic and herb)

1 cup Brussels sprouts, cut in half

1 cup bell pepper, cut lengthwise into strips

1 bunch of asparagus, cut into bite sized pieces

Fresh parsley, optional garnish

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees Farenheit. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Chop potatoes into ¾-inch pieces and place in a large bowl. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, ½ teaspoon salt, and a few cracks of pepper. Toss to coat, then spread, leaving space between them. Roast for 10 minutes.
While the potatoes start roasting, slice the sausages into 1-inch coins, cut all the vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Combine these ingredients in the same bowl you used for the potatoes. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, ½ teaspoon of salt, and a few more cracks of pepper. Toss well.
After the potatoes have been in for 10 minutes, take out the pan, push the potatoes to the outer edge, and add the mixture of sausage, onion, and vegetables to the empty space in the middle. Return to the oven and roast another 18-20 minutes, until the sausage is crisp, and the veggies are tender.
Sprinkle with chopped parsley as desired. Serve and enjoy!
