Delightful Roasted Vegetable Mess "Recipe"

Delightful Roasted Vegetable Mess "Recipe"
from @amberskitchen on instagram
"Let the oven do the work!"

a few small red potatoes
olive oil
#amberskitchenitalianseasoning OR salt and pepper OR herbs de provence
1/4 head of cauliflower
1 zucchini
1 sweet bell pepper
Aidell's chicken sausage, about one per person
*optional, chopped kale (this cooks fast so add it at the very end)
(I have also added squash, asparagus, and extra cauliflower to this)

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.  Slice sausage, dice vegetables.  On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spread out potatoes and cover with olive oil and spices.  Roast for 15 minutes.  Remove from oven and toss the potatoes with the remaining vegetables and the sausage, plus a little more oil and spices.  Roast in the oven another 15-20 minutes. 

Any other veggies you have work really well in this.  Harder veggies like butternut squash or sweet potatoes or carrots need longer to bake, so include them in the first bake with the potatoes.  Softer vegetables can be added for the second bake only.  Enjoy!

Is something this easy really a recipe?  It is if it's this delicious! 
My baby LOOOOVES vegetables but sometimes it's still hard for her to eat them raw with her little teeth.  This makes everything just right!
