When you cook every single day things can become a little monotonous in the kitchen and if you are working full time during the day, the energy levels at the end of it, can dwindle somewhat. I am always keen to try out new things in my kitchen that are tasty as well as easy - for the days when I am not particularly enthusiastic.
This dish is absolutely one of those… and not only that - it is also low carb which is an added bonus. Low in carbs but definitely not lacking in flavour.
It really doesn't get easier than this one pan dinner and though it is not rocket science - it is not really a common combo of things, but they all marry so wonderfully together and the sausage - (because smoked sausages are ALWAYS amazing) just really elevates it to the next level in terms of taste, as well as having quite a high fat content, so they are a great carb replacement and don’t leave your plate or your stomach feeling like “something is missing”.
WHAT YOU NEED
3 large carrots
One red bell pepper
3 large zucchinis
Half a pack of diced sweet potato
Half a pack of broccoli florets
Three smoked sausages
(such as: russian, frankfurter, cheese griller... your choice!)
Ok, the first thing you need to do is line a roasting pan with some foil. Then grease it lightly with a non-stick spray. Once you have done that, preheat the oven to 205 degrees Celsius (400 degrees Fahrenheit).
Then you can get to chopping the up the veg. Slice the carrots into nice fat coins, halve the marrows length ways and then slice them into fat half coins and roughly chop the sweet bell pepper.
Both my sweet potato and broccolli florets came pre-chopped - because I am lazy haha - but yes, you would either need to throw those in, or chop them and then throw them in :)
Next is the Chorizo - or whatever sausage you chose. I actually decided to mix things up a little and I added three different sausages - two different types of chorizo and then bratwurst.
Once everything is in the pan, you can add the seasoning. Don't be rigid with this... have a little fun. I added oregano, sweet basil, parsley, garlic and then salt and pepper of course. Then finally a nice healthy drizzling of olive oil.
Pop that into the oven for 15 minutes, then remove and toss. Return to the oven for another 15 to 20 minutes until the veg are tender but firm and nice and golden... much like this...
There are many creative ways you can serve this. You can simply grate some parmesan cheese over the top, or you could serve it with some cauli crumble. It is also perfectly delicious all on it's own! The sausage is generally quite rich - so in turn, rather filling!
Bon Appétit!

Until next time...
