Ingredients
  

8 chicken sausages (choose between spicy or mild for personal preference)

2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved for a burst of flavor

1 red bell pepper, sliced into strips for sweetness

1 yellow bell pepper, sliced for color and taste

1 red onion, quartered to add sweetness

3 cloves garlic, minced for aromatic depth

3 tablespoons olive oil for richness

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar for tanginess

2 tablespoons honey to balance the acidity

2 teaspoons dried oregano for herbal notes

1 teaspoon salt to enhance flavors

1/2 teaspoon black pepper for a mild kick

Fresh basil leaves for a vibrant garnish

Optional: Crusty bread for serving, perfect for soaking up the glaze

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) to get the perfect roasting temperature.

    Prepare the Sausages and Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken sausages, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced red and yellow bell peppers, quartered red onion, and minced garlic. Stir gently to mix.

      Make the Flavorful Glaze: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined and smooth.

        Combine Ingredients: Drizzle the balsamic mixture over the sausage and vegetable mixture. Using your hands or a spatula, toss everything together until all ingredients are well coated with the glaze.

          Arrange in Baking Tray: Transfer the mixture to a large baking tray, spreading it evenly. Make sure the sausages have room to breathe and are not overcrowded for optimal roasting.

            Bake to Perfection: Place the tray in your preheated oven and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes. The sausages should be fully cooked through, and the vegetables should become tender. Stir the mixture once halfway through the cooking time for even roasting.

              Garnish for Freshness: After removing from the oven, allow it to cool slightly. Garnish with fresh basil leaves to add a pop of color and flavor.

                Serve and Enjoy: Serve the dish hot, and consider offering crusty bread on the side to soak up the delicious balsamic glaze, making each bite even more delightful.
