Mediterranean Sausage Tray Bake
Mediterranean Sausage Tray Bake is an easy, flavour-packed dinner with minimal prep and maximum payoff. Everything roasts together on one tray so the vegetables caramelise, the sausages brown deeply, and the juices create a rich pan sauce.
Serve with crusty bread, couscous or roasted potatoes for a straightforward weeknight meal.
Method
12m35m47m
- Heat oven to 220°C (200°C fan). Cut sausages in half lengthways or into chunky pieces, then add to a large tray with onions, peppers, courgette, tomatoes and garlic.
- Drizzle with olive oil, add oregano, smoked paprika, salt and black pepper, then toss well to coat.
- Roast for 30 to 35 minutes, turning once halfway, until sausage pieces are browned and vegetables are tender with caramelised edges.
- Finish with lemon zest, a squeeze of lemon juice and chopped parsley. Add crumbled feta if using.
- Serve straight from the tray with bread, couscous or potatoes.
