Sausage and Veggie Meal Prep Bowls

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Sausage and Veggie Meal Prep Bowls.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C).

2. Step 2

   While that warms up, grab a large baking sheet, about 12x17 inches, and line it with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

3. Step 3

   A quick spritz of nonstick cooking spray will help everything slide off smoothly later.

4. Step 4

   In a medium saucepan, pour in a tablespoon of olive oil and heat it over medium-high.

5. Step 5

   Once it’s shimmering, toss in your uncooked brown rice and sauté it for 2 to 3 minutes until it’s lightly toasted and fragrant.

6. Step 6

   Next, add water and sprinkle in half a teaspoon of salt.

7. Step 7

   Cover the saucepan and let it simmer on low heat until the water is absorbed, which should take about 20 to 30 minutes.

8. Step 8

   While the rice is cooking, it’s time to prepare the star of the show: the roasted sausages and veggies! Arrange the sausages on one end of your prepared baking sheet.

9. Step 9

   Next to them, place the onion pieces, followed by the halved Brussels sprouts.

10. Step 10

    Sprinkle garlic powder, half a teaspoon of salt, and a dash of black pepper over the colorful veggies.

11. Step 11

    Drizzle everything with 1 and a half tablespoons of olive oil, then give it a gentle toss to ensure everything is nicely coated.

12. Step 12

    Pop the baking sheet into your preheated oven and let it roast for 10 minutes.

13. Step 13

    When the timer goes off, carefully remove the sheet and stir the vegetables while flipping the sausages over for even cooking.

14. Step 14

    Now, add the vibrant orange bell pepper to the mix, drizzle with the remaining half tablespoon of olive oil, and season with a little more salt and pepper.

15. Step 15

    Toss everything together again and return it to the oven for another 10 minutes.

16. Step 16

    Once everything is beautifully roasted and cooked through, let it cool for a few moments.

17. Step 17

    Slice the sausages into bite-sized pieces, making them perfect for mixing into your bowls.

18. Step 18

    Now it’s time to assemble your meal prep! Divide the fluffy brown rice, roasted vegetables, and sausage pieces evenly among five storage containers.

19. Step 19

    For a delicious finishing touch, sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese on top of each bowl to taste.
