- 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
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.
- for the sweet potatoes to cook through in the allotted time, they need to be cut small
- keep the bell peppers larger so they don't overcook
- 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)
- 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.
- use a store bought fajita seasoning packet to cut down on prep time
- Fridge - Cool completely, then store in air-tight meal prep containers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Reheat - in the microwave until steaming hot and enjoy!
