INSTRUCTIONS

5. Arrange the sausage in the center of the sheet pan in a single layer.
6. Arrange the vegetables around the sausage, leaving a bit of space between each piece.

TIPS & TRICKS

* To ensure that the sausage cooks evenly, make sure it’s not overlapping with the vegetables.
* Feel free to customize the recipe by using different sausage flavors or vegetables.
* If you prefer a crisper texture on the vegetables, broil the sheet pan for an additional 2-3 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
* Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
