• 3 medium yellow squash (1/2-inch cubes)
• 10 mini sweet peppers

• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line (2) 12x17-inch jelly roll pans or similar size rimmed baking sheets, with heavy duty aluminum foil. Spray liberally with cooking spray.

   On one pan, arrange the sausages around the edge of the pan and the onion wedges in the center. Spray with cooking spray. Season the onions lightly with 1/4 tsp garlic salt.

3. 3

   On the second pan, arrange zucchini, squash and peppers in a single layer. Spray the vegetables liberally with cooking spray or drizzle lightly with olive oil. (You can use only cooking spray or only olive oil, if desired. I like to use both)

   Place both pans into the oven and bake for 30 minutes. Rotate the pans halfway through baking.

   Increase the oven temperature to 450°F and continue to bake for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the vegetables are beginning to caramelize and turn golden brown.
