Ingredients

- Cranberries
- Onion
- Bell Peppers
- Olive Oil
- Garlic Powder
- Onion Powder
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Slice the smoked sausage into bite-sized pieces. Chop your onions and bell peppers into similar-sized chunks. If you’re using fresh or frozen cranberries, rinse and drain them well.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sausage, cranberries, onions, and bell peppers. Drizzle with olive oil and season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until well coated.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Spread the sausage and vegetable mixture evenly across the pan, making sure not to overcrowd.
- Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and roast for about 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through. The sausage should be browned, and the vegetables tender.
- Once done, remove the pan from the oven and let it cool for a minute. You can serve these bites as a delicious appetizer or as a main dish alongside a fresh salad.
