- Nestle the Italian sausages into the vegetables, then place in the oven. Roast for 20-30 minutes until the internal temperature of the sausage is 160 degrees, turning halfway during the cooking time for even browning. If the sausages are done before the vegetables, simply remove them from the pan, place on a plate and cover them with foil, then continue cooking the vegetables until they're done.1.5 lbs. fresh Italian sausage
- Remove the pan from heat and serve hot with grainy mustard as desired. Enjoy!
Notes
- Pro tip: This recipe was developed using fresh Italian sausage. Cooking time will vary based on the type and thickness of sausage that you use. If using fully cooked sausage, I recommend adding it during the last 10 minutes of cooking time for the vegetables.
- Nutrition information will vary based on the type of sausage that you use. Chicken or turkey sausage will be much leaner, which will decrease the amount of fat and cholesterol.
- This recipe is easily customized with your favorite potatoes or vegetables.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerators for up to 3 days.
