Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb chicken breast or thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 precooked sausages, sliced into ½-inch rounds
  • 1 block firm tofu, pressed and cubed
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 bell peppers, sliced
  • 1 red onion, cut into wedges
  • 2 potatoes or sweet potatoes, cubed
  • 2 carrots, sliced into coins or sticks
  • 1 cup Brussels sprouts, halved
  • 3 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp dried herbs (oregano or Italian blend)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Equipment

  • large rimmed baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Sharp knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Mixing Bowls
  • spatula or tongs

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Pat dry chicken or tofu. Slice sausage. Chop all vegetables into similar-sized pieces.
  3. Add all ingredients to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, herbs, salt, and pepper.
  4. Spread everything onto the baking sheet in a single layer. Use two sheets if needed to avoid overcrowding.
  5. Roast for 20–30 minutes. Flip halfway through for even browning. Roast until vegetables are tender and protein is cooked through.
  6. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Optional: garnish with lemon juice, herbs, or sauces.

Notes

Customize proteins (chicken, tofu, sausage, shrimp) and seasonal vegetables. Avoid overcrowding to ensure proper roasting. Great for meal prep or feeding a family. Pre-cut veggies and dried spices save even more time on busy nights.
