Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 3-5 sausages (Johnsonville brats recommended)
- 3-5 tomatoes, halved (preferably “on the vine” variety)
- 2 portobello mushrooms, whole
Seasonings and Sauces
- Lemon pepper, to taste
- Garlic powder, to taste
- Dried tarragon, to taste
- Salt, to taste
- Worcestershire sauce, a light drizzle
- Olive oil, a light drizzle
Optional Sides
- HP sauce (optional)
- Mustard (optional)
- Bread or bagels (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to get it ready for roasting both the vegetables and sausages.
- Prepare Tomatoes and Mushrooms: Cut the tomatoes in halves, carefully removing the cores. Arrange the tomato halves along with the whole portobello mushrooms in a baking dish, making sure to fit them comfortably.
- Season Vegetables: Lightly season the tomatoes with salt, lemon pepper, garlic powder, and dried tarragon. For the mushrooms, sprinkle with a little salt and generously apply garlic powder to enhance flavor.
- Add Olive Oil and Worcestershire Sauce: Drizzle olive oil lightly over the tomatoes and mushrooms. Then, sprinkle Worcestershire sauce over them to add depth and umami to the roasted vegetables.
- Prepare Sausages: Place the sausages in a separate baking dish. Pierce each sausage a few times with a fork or skewer to prevent them from bursting during cooking.
- Roast in Oven: Place both baking dishes into the preheated oven. Roast for 45 to 55 minutes, depending on your oven’s accuracy. Halfway through cooking, turn the sausages to ensure they brown evenly on all sides.
- Serve: Once cooked, serve the roasted tomatoes, mushrooms, and browned sausages on a plate. Add bread or bagels on the side and optional condiments like HP sauce or mustard as desired for a complete meal.
Notes
- Adjust seasoning amounts according to personal taste preferences.
- Piercing sausages prevents them from bursting and promotes even cooking.
- Use fresh, vine-ripened tomatoes for the best flavor.
- If preferred, substitute sausages with vegetarian alternatives, but cooking times may vary.
- Turning sausages halfway ensures they brown evenly and cook thoroughly.
