Are you ready for another easy, all-in-one paleo meal idea? I call this one “chop and drop” because that’s literally what you do…
This hearty and nutritious meal is so easy, you can whip it up even after a long day at work. In fact, it gives you some extra time to relax or play with the kids while your savory din din roasts in the oven.
It’ll take you about 10 minutes or so to get everything chopped and seasoned, and then around 40 minutes to cook.
Once the veggies and sausage are chopped, you just sprinkle them with olive oil and season them in a mixing bowl. Then you spread out all the pieces on a large foil-lined or lightly-greased cookie sheet, and slide your savory smorgasbord into the oven. Remember to flip the veggies and sausage over a couple of times while they’re cooking – you want to make sure everything gets roasted evenly.
As you can see, there’s absolutely nothing complicated about this paleo recipe. You can go with the veggies I’ve suggested (it’s a delicious combo I think!), or change things up and choose your favorites. [av_sidebar widget_area=’Lockerdome’ av_uid=’av-2qtnll’]
I always like to say great-tasting and good-for-you food doesn’t have to be hard and this easy meal proves it. It’s one of those perfect week night go-to dishes that everyone in your family is sure to love.
This recipe easily serves 4-6 depending on the appetites you’ve got sitting around your dinner table.
And if you’re lucky enough to have leftovers, the veggies and sausage are great reheated for lunch the next day. I know that from experience!
Hope you give this colorful, all-in-one paleo meal a try.
Enjoy friends!
