A quick and easy one-pan recipe featuring smoky mini sausages and fresh summer vegetables, perfect for festive Fourth of July gatherings with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz mini smoked sausages (about 340 g)
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes (about 300 g), halved
  • 1 cup diced red bell peppers (about 150 g)
  • 1 cup sweet corn kernels (about 150 g), fresh or frozen
  • ½ medium red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (30 ml)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • A handful fresh basil leaves, chopped
  • 1 tbsp honey (15 ml), optional
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (15 ml)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Slice the mini smoked sausages into 1-inch (2.5 cm) chunks. Halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the red bell peppers, thinly slice the red onion, and cut fresh corn kernels off the cob if using fresh.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sausages and vegetables. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
  4. Transfer the mixture to a large rimmed baking sheet and spread in a single, even layer.
  5. Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through (about 10 minutes in) to promote even cooking.
  6. While roasting, whisk together honey and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl to make the glaze.
  7. Remove the pan from the oven after 20 minutes and drizzle the glaze evenly over the mixture. Toss gently to coat.
  8. Return the pan to the oven and roast for an additional 5 minutes to caramelize the glaze.
  9. Remove from oven and sprinkle with fresh chopped basil.
  10. Let the pan cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Use fresh cherry tomatoes for best texture and juiciness. Avoid non-stick sprays to prevent uneven roasting. For a vegetarian version, substitute mini smoked sausages with smoked tofu cubes or marinated tempeh. Adjust roasting temperature to 400°F (205°C) if your oven runs hot. Reheat leftovers in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes to maintain texture.
