Roasted Summer Veggies and Sausage

October 10, 2016 By SimpleGreenMoms Leave a Comment

This recipe came about after tons of fresh produce literally was dumped on my kitchen table.

As you may know, we have a huge garden that feeds us all summer.  But, my neighbor also has a huge garden and likes to share his produce with us as well.  This usually means I have tons of amazing vegetables any time I want, but usually in pretty big quantities and ALL at ONCE.  I came home from running errands to find that my neighbor had brought over the following:

1 baseball bat sized zucchini

1  gigantic eggplant

1 butternut squash

2 bell peppers

5 heirloom tomatoes

At first it was a little overwhelming…the sheer size of the eggplant and the zucchini was comical.  I somehow decided that I would try and use everything…all at once…all in one pan.  Not sure why, but whatever!  It worked.  Because of the size and amount of the vegetables I had to work with, I decided that I would make one dinner tonight and one for the freezer.  I basically chopped everything up, divided it all in two equal portions, and stuck a plastic bag in the freezer for a quick dinner down the road.  If you are going to try this out, please note that I added everything to the freezer bag exactly the same as I did the roasting pan, minus the olive oil.  Just make a note on the bag to add that in so you don’t forget.

Roasted veggies with tons of garlic and olive oil with sweet Italian sausage and tomatoes.  It really is a match made in heaven.  Tons of garlic and olive oil makes anything taste amazing, am I right?  I cooked until the veggies and sausage were browned lightly and a bit caramelized.  At this point, I realized that the fresh garden tomatoes had cooked down and given off all their juices into the bottom of the pan mixing with the garlic and herbs, creating a really delicious simple sauce.  Inspired by the amount of sauce, I decided to serve over pasta, topped with a bit of Parmesan cheese.   Everyone loved it, kids cleaned their plates, and best of all I have a whole other meal tucked in the freezer for a hectic night when I don’t have a ton of time to cook.  Best impromptu dinner yet!

Enjoy!
