Equipment

  • Sheet Pan These USA stainless steel sheet pans are great for one-pan meals!
  • Cutting Boards This 3-Pack of non-slip cutting boards are a fantastic tool for every home cook.
  • Santoku Knife This 7" santoku knife comes with a bonus 5" knife. Sold through Macy's and at an AMAZING price I've never seen anywhere!

Ingredients
  

  • 2 sweet potatoes, large about 1 lb. peeled and sliced
  • 2 bell peppers, medium any color, sliced
  • 1 red onion, medium sliced
  • 3 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil divided
  • 1 ½ teaspoons Italian Seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 (13 oz. pkg.) turkey sausage, sliced or chicken sausage

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Peel and slice sweet potatoes into thin wedges. Place on sheet pan. Toss with 1 Tbsp. of olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake for 15 minutes.
  • While sweet potatoes are baking, slice peppers and onions and place into a bowl. Drizzle with the remaining 2 Tbsp. olive oil and toss together to coat.
  • Once sweet potatoes are done pre-baking, add the peppers and onions on top of the sweet potatoes directly on to the sheet pan. Sprinkle with the Italian seasoning. Add the turkey sausage on top of the vegetables, keeping everything in an even layer. Bake for another 15 minutes at 400 degrees.
  • Serve right away while warm.
  • If placing into meal prep containers, let cool to room temperature before refrigerating or freezing.

Notes

Feel free to use any sausage of your choice (turkey, chicken, beef or pork). Look for nitrate and nitrite free products.
Also, feel free to place sausages uncut on the pan for baking.
