This is the real deal! No faux Italian sausage here. But I bet this would work perfectly with chicken or turkey Italian sausage as well. Choose mild or spicy. Vegetable choices are up to you too. Tomatoes do tend to cook more quickly than the sausage but can work nicely if the sausage is cut a bit smaller to decrease the cooking time. Ready in 30 minutes or less with minimal kitchen cleanup.
Easy and simple, this is a keeper! Roasted vegetables are just so full of flavor. Added to quinoa for a nice salad as a main dish or a generous side dish. This is how it evolved.
Several days ago I was giving thought to a Skewered Italian Sausage and Vegetables Recipe for the BBQ. I had all these beautiful vegetables from my garden. Then someone mentioned quinoa and how delicious it can be as a salad. Since half the family is vegetarian (or pretty close to being vegetarian) why not do a quinoa salad with roasted vegetables and another main dish with the Italian Sausage. (See Next Post for the Italian Sausage Recipe)
And as it turns out the recipe is actually vegan too. Yes, the grill was cleaned … so no left-over drippings!
Let’s get started.
