Oven-Baked Summer Sausage Veggie & Fruit Delight

Ingredients

- 1 cup of assorted fresh vegetables (such as bell peppers, carrots, broccoli)
- 1 cup of assorted fresh fruit (such as apples, grapes, pears)
- 1 cup of summer sausage, sliced
- 1 cup of cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare the vegetables and fruit
Wash all vegetables and fruits thoroughly. Chop the bell peppers, carrots, and broccoli into bite-sized pieces. Core the apples and pears, then cut them into slices. Leave the grapes whole.

3. Mix vegetables and fruit
In a large bowl, combine the chopped vegetables and fruits. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Toss to evenly coat the vegetables and fruits.

4. Arrange on baking sheet
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the seasoned vegetables and fruits in a single layer on the sheet.

5. Add summer sausage
Distribute the sliced summer sausage evenly across the veggies and fruits on the baking sheet.

6. Bake in the oven
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for about 20 minutes, until the veggies are tender and the sausage is slightly crisp.

7. Add cheese and finish baking
Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

8. Serve
Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Transfer to a serving platter and enjoy your Oven-Baked Summer Sausage Veggie & Fruit Delight as a snack.
