03 - Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Nestle the Italian sausages among the vegetables.
04 - Roast in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes. Halfway through, turn the sausages and stir the vegetables to ensure even cooking. Sausages should reach an internal temperature of 160°F and vegetables should be tender and caramelized.
