Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups chicken breast or thighs, cubed
  • 1 cup precooked sausage, sliced
  • 1 cup firm tofu, pressed and cubed
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 cup bell peppers, sliced
  • 1 onion, cut into wedges
  • 1 cup sweet potatoes, cubed
  • 1 cup carrots, sliced into sticks or coins
  • 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, thyme, or Italian blend)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Equipment

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

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
  2. Pat dry protein (chicken or tofu) and cut into 1-inch pieces. Slice sausage into ½-inch rounds.
  3. Chop all vegetables into even-sized pieces. Hard vegetables should be slightly smaller than soft ones for even roasting.
  4. In a large bowl, combine protein and vegetables. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with all seasonings. Toss well to coat.
  5. Spread ingredients evenly on the prepared sheet pan in a single layer. Use two pans if needed to avoid overcrowding.
  6. Roast for 20–30 minutes, flipping halfway. Cook until protein is done and vegetables are tender and browned.
  7. Let rest 5 minutes before serving. Optionally garnish with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon juice.

Notes

Mix and match proteins like chicken, tofu, or sausage with seasonal veggies and bold spices. Avoid overcrowding the pan and chop everything uniformly for the best texture and caramelization. Great for meal prep and dietary flexibility.
