Ingredients

Yield: 4 servings

Main

  • 1 lb spicy Italian sausage, cut into 1-inch pieces (or removed from casings and crumbled)
  • 1.5 lbs broccoli florets, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 red onion, cut into wedges or thick slices
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (or more to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional: Grated Parmesan cheese for serving

Preparation

  1. Step 1

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

  2. Step 2

    In a large bowl, combine broccoli florets and red onion wedges. Drizzle with olive oil, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat evenly.

  3. Step 3

    Add the sliced or crumbled spicy Italian sausage to the bowl. Toss again to mix everything. Spread the sausage and seasoned vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

  4. Step 4

    Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the sausage is cooked through and lightly browned, and the broccoli is tender-crisp with some charred edges. If using crumbled sausage, break it up with a spoon halfway through cooking.

  5. Step 5

    Serve immediately, optionally topped with grated Parmesan cheese.

Tips

  • Ensure the vegetables and sausage are in a single layer to promote even cooking and browning.
  • Add other fast-cooking veggies like bell peppers or zucchini for more variety.
