  • 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!

  • 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 pepper
  • 1 (13 oz. pkg.) chicken sausage, sliced or turkey sausage

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

  • While the sweet potatoes and veggies are baking, slice the sausage into pieces.
  • Once the sweet potato mixture is done pre-baking, add sausage on top of the sweet potatoes directly on to the sheet pan, keeping everything in an even layer. Return the sheet pan to the oven and bake all ingredients for another 20 minutes at 375 degrees.
