Instructions

1

Step 1

Start by heating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with foil and give it a quick spray with cooking spray to keep things from sticking.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, warm 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Toss in the brown rice and let it toast for a couple of minutes. Then add the water and a pinch of salt. Cover the pot, turn the heat down to medium-low, and let it simmer until the water is all absorbed—this usually takes about 20 to 30 minutes.

Step 3

While the rice is cooking, arrange the sausages on one side of the baking sheet. Next to them, pile on the onions and Brussels sprouts. Sprinkle garlic powder, salt, and pepper over the veggies, then drizzle with 1 1/2 tablespoons of oil. Give everything a good toss so the veggies are well coated.

Step 4

Pop the baking sheet into the oven and roast for 10 minutes. When the time’s up, take it out and stir the veggies around, flipping the sausages over as well. Add the bell peppers to the sheet, drizzle with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of oil, and season with a bit more salt and pepper. Toss again to coat everything, then back into the oven it goes for another 10 minutes. Let everything cool once it’s done.

Step 5

Finally, slice the sausages into bite-sized pieces. Divide the brown rice, veggies, and sausage evenly into your containers, and sprinkle some Parmesan cheese on top before sealing them up.
