- Sprinkle the seasonings and mix until all are combined.
- Place all the vegetables on a cookie sheet and spread into a single layer.
- Slice the sausage into bite-size section and add them to the vegetables.
- Spread them out over the pan and not in one spot so the vegetables get some flavor from them.

Notes
- Line your sheet pan with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup. The juices and oil can be a pain to scrub after baking on the pan.
- You can use precooked sausage just slice the peppers and onion thinner so it doesn't dry out when it cooks with them.
- Use red, yellow, or orange peppers for the sweetest flavor. Green peppers work but they're more tart.
- Slice peppers and onions into similar sizes so everything cooks evenly.
- Don't crowd the pan or vegetables will steam instead of roast. Everything should be in a single layer with space between pieces. Use two pans if necessary.
- Check sausage temperature with an instant-read thermometer. It should reach 165°F for food safety.
- Let it rest for 5 minutes after removing from the oven. This lets the juices redistribute and makes serving easier.
- Add red pepper flakes if you like heat. Start with ¼ teaspoon and add more to taste.
