Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and prepare a large sheet pan with parchment paper or light oil.

2. Wash and chop the broccoli, carrots, squash, and onion into evenly sized pieces.

3. Slice the smoked sausage into bite-sized rounds.

4. Add the sausage and vegetables to the sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and toss well.

5. Sprinkle garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning evenly over the ingredients. Toss again until everything is coated.

6. Spread the ingredients into a single layer to ensure even roasting and caramelization.

7. Roast in the oven for 25 to 35 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking.

8. While the sheet pan meal cooks, prepare the rice according to package instructions.

9. Remove the pan from the oven once the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.

10. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the roasted sausage and vegetables.

11. Serve the sausage and vegetables over warm rice and drizzle any pan juices over the top.

Notes

Avoid overcrowding the sheet pan so the vegetables roast properly and develop crispy edges.

Cut all vegetables into similar sizes for even cooking and better texture.

Broil for the final 2 to 3 minutes if you prefer extra caramelized vegetables and crisp sausage edges.
