Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 sweet potato large; cut into 3-4 cups of ¾ inch cubes; see note 1
  • 2 bell peppers cut into 1.5 inch chunks; see note 2
  • 1 zucchini quartered, then sliced into ½ inch thick slices
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 1 tablespoon fajita seasoning see note 5
  • 1 lb Italian sausage the big ones; not small breakfast sausages

Instructions

  • Prepare - Heat oven to 400°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
    Chop sweet potatoes into small cubes (½-¾ inches). Toss in 1 tablespoon olive oil and fajita seasoning and arrange on one end of the sheet pan. Cut up bell peppers and zucchini, toss in the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, and arrange on the other end of the sheet pan (see note 3)
    Prick sausages several times with a paring knife and arrange over veggies.
  • Bake - Bake for at 400ºF for 30 - 40 minutes, giving veggies a quick stir and flipping sausages if needed halfway through. If some veggies seem done sooner, you can scoop them off and put the sweet potato back in the oven. * See note 4
  • Portion - Let cool completely, then portion out into four meal prep containers.

Notes

  1. for the sweet potatoes to cook through in the allotted time, they need to be cut small
  2. keep the bell peppers larger so they don't overcook
  3. we like to keep the sweet potatoes and veggies separate on the pan in case the veggies are ready to come off earlier (the sweet potatoes may need a few extra minutes to cook)
  4. keep in mind that for meal prep it's OK if your sweet potatoes are *slightly* under since they will cook again a second time when you reheat.
  5. use a store bought fajita seasoning packet to cut down on prep time
Storage + Reheating
  • Fridge - Cool completely, then store in air-tight meal prep containers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
