Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ pounds mild Italian sausage links or chicken sausage
  • 2 ears corn husked and cut into 2-inch rounds
  • 2 medium zucchini halved lengthwise and sliced into ½-inch half-moons
  • 1 red bell pepper seeded and cut into 1-inch strips
  • 1 small red onion cut into ½-inch wedges
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano

Equipment

  • rimmed baking sheet (18x13 inch)
  • parchment paper
  • chef's knife
  • cutting board
  • small bowl
  • whisk

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a large bowl, combine corn rounds, zucchini, bell pepper strips, and onion wedges. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss to coat evenly.
  3. Arrange vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Nestle the sausage links among the vegetables, spacing them evenly.
  4. Roast for 20 minutes. Flip the sausage and stir the vegetables once halfway through. Continue roasting until sausage reaches an internal temperature of 160°F and vegetables are tender and lightly browned at the edges, about 5 minutes more.
  5. While the sheet pan roasts, make the dressing: in a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, lemon juice, parsley, and oregano.
  6. Remove sheet pan from oven. Let rest 2 minutes. Drizzle the dressing over everything. Serve hot directly from the pan or transfer to a platter.

Notes

Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes to restore crispness. For a gluten-free meal, use gluten-free sausage. Dairy-free as written. To add heat, swap mild sausage for spicy Italian. For food safety, cook sausage to 160°F. Use a sharp knife for cutting corn and vegetables. Handle hot pan with oven mitts.
