How to prep it

  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 425°F. Toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, and salt; roast for 20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add the sausage, peppers, onion, and broccoli with the remaining oil. Roast for 15 to 18 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the sausage is hot.

  3. 3

    Squeeze lemon over the pan and let everything cool for 10 minutes so steam does not soften the edges.

  4. 4

    Divide into four shallow containers and refrigerate or freeze after cooling.

Storage

Cool portions before sealing. Refrigerate what you will eat within 3 days and freeze the rest in dated containers.

Reheat

Reheat in a skillet or microwave until hot throughout. A toaster oven brings back more of the roasted edges.
