Main Ingredients
- 12 oz smoked sausage, fully cooked, sliced into bite-sized rounds
- 1 package (about 9–12 oz) cheese tortellini, fresh or frozen
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped into even pieces
- 1 yellow bell pepper, chopped into even pieces
- 1 medium onion, chopped into even pieces
Seasonings and Oils
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Prepare the Ingredients: Slice the smoked sausage into bite-sized rounds and chop the bell peppers and onion into even pieces to ensure uniform roasting. This simple prep sets you up for even cooking and balanced flavors.
- Toss Ingredients with Seasoning: In a large bowl, combine the sausage, tortellini, and chopped vegetables. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper on top. Toss everything gently so all ingredients are lightly coated.
- Spread on the Sheet Pan: Arrange the mixture in a single layer on a large sheet pan. Spacing the ingredients out ensures they roast perfectly rather than steam.
- Roast Until Golden: Place the sheet pan in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) and roast for around 20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the sausage is browned, the vegetables are tender, and the tortellini is slightly crispy on the edges.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. The Sheet Pan Smoked Sausage Tortellini is ready to be enjoyed right off the pan for an easy, satisfying meal.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen tortellini; frozen works perfectly and holds shape well during roasting.
- Do not overcrowd the pan to allow even roasting and caramelization.
- Keep oven temperature high to develop crispy edges and smoky flavor.
- Stir halfway through roasting to ensure even browning and prevent sticking.
- Customize seasoning to your preference for bold or subtle flavors.
