Ingredients

Yield: 4 servings

Main

  • 1 lb Italian sausage (sweet or hot), cut into 1-inch pieces or crumbled
  • 1 lb broccolini, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Red pepper flakes, optional, for serving

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

  2. Step 2

    In a large bowl, combine the sausage pieces, broccolini, and cherry tomatoes. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss well to ensure everything is evenly coated.

  3. Step 3

    Spread the mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan, as this helps everything roast and brown instead of steam.

  4. Step 4

    Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the sausage is cooked through and lightly browned, and the broccolini is tender-crisp with slightly charred edges. The tomatoes should be bursting.

  5. Step 5

    Remove from the oven and serve hot. Garnish with red pepper flakes if you like a little extra kick.

Tips

  • For crispy sausage, ensure the pan isn't overcrowded. Use two baking sheets if necessary.
  • Feel free to swap broccolini for regular broccoli florets or even trimmed green beans.
  • This dish is fantastic on its own, but also great served over a bed of quinoa or rice.
