Ingredients in Sausage and Veggie Bowls
Here’s what goes into this flavorful, nourishing bowl:
Sausage + Veggies
Sausage: Fully cooked sausages sliced into bite-sized circles. They crisp up beautifully in the oven and add savory depth to the bowls.
Broccoli Florets: Roasted until tender and slightly charred, they add color and crunch.
Bell Pepper: Sweet and juicy, it balances the richness of the sausage. Any color works!
White Onion: When roasted, it turns caramelized and mellow, adding natural sweetness.
Mushrooms: Baby bellas (or any mushrooms you love) give an earthy flavor and meaty bite.
Olive Oil: Helps everything roast to golden perfection.
Salt & Black Pepper: The seasoning foundation.
Garlic Powder: Adds a punch of savory flavor.
Dried Oregano & Basil: Bring a subtle Italian-inspired herbiness that makes the veggies pop.
Easy Mustard Sauce
Mayonnaise: The creamy base that makes this sauce velvety smooth.
Dijon Mustard: Tangy, slightly sharp, and the star of the sauce.
Water: Thins the sauce just enough for drizzling.
Lemon Juice: Adds brightness and a little zing.
Garlic: Minced fresh garlic for that aromatic bite.
Salt: Just a touch to balance all the flavors.

Instructions
Let’s dive into making these bowls. You’ll be amazed at how fast this comes together!
Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating to 425°F. A hot oven means caramelized, crispy veggies.
Prep the Veggies: Slice the bell pepper, onion, mushrooms, and sausages. Keep the broccoli florets bite-sized.
Season Everything: In a big bowl, toss the sausage and veggies with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, oregano, and basil. Mix well to coat everything evenly.
Roast to Perfection: Spread the mixture onto a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until veggies are tender and slightly charred, and sausage is golden.
Make the Sauce: While the sheet pan does its magic, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, water, lemon juice, garlic, and salt in a small bowl. It should be creamy but pourable.
Assemble the Bowls: Divide the roasted sausage and veggies into bowls. Drizzle generously with mustard sauce.
Serve and Enjoy: Add extra sauce on the side if you’re a dipper (I definitely am).
How to Serve Sausage and Veggie Bowls
- Over Rice or Quinoa: For a heartier meal, spoon everything over fluffy rice or nutty quinoa.
- With a Salad: Pair with a light green salad for a fresh, crisp contrast.
- Low-Carb Style: Keep it simple—just the sausage, veggies, and sauce in a bowl. Perfect for a lighter dinner.
- Wrap It Up: Stuff the sausage and veggies into a warm pita or wrap for a handheld option.
Make-Ahead and Storage Tips
- Meal Prep: Roast a big batch on Sunday and portion into containers with the sauce on the side.
- Storage: Store in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Reheating: Warm in the oven or skillet to keep the veggies crisp. Drizzle sauce on after reheating for the best flavor.
Variations to Try
- Spicy Twist: Add red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the mustard sauce.
- Different Veggies: Try zucchini, carrots, asparagus, or Brussels sprouts.
- Cheesy Option: Sprinkle shredded Parmesan or feta over the hot veggies before serving.
- Herb Swap: Use thyme or rosemary instead of oregano and basil for a different flavor vibe.
