Servings:4 servings
Ingredients
for the rice
- 1 6.9 ounce box/package Spanish rice
- 1 ½ cups water
- 1 15-ounce can crushed fire roasted tomatoes
for the sausage and veggies
- 1 16-ounce package kielbasa turkey sausage, thinly sliced diagonally
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 3 bell peppers, chopped, any color
- 1 small red onion, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon pepper, or to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3 teaspoons dijon mustard
- freshly chopped parsley or cilantro for serving, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line half of a large, rimmed sheet pan with foil and fold the edges up to make a tray and divider between the other half of the pan.
- Stir together rice, water, and tomatoes. Pour into foil tray. Bake for 10 minutes while you prepare the veggies and sausage.
- Toss together sausage, peppers, onions, olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dijon mustard.
- Arrange sausage and veggies on the unused half of the baking sheet. Place an piece of foil over the rice, do not press down, rather push the center up a bit and press the edges around the rim of the baking sheet to make a tent over the rice.
- Bake for 20 minutes. Broil 3-5 minutes at the end, optional. Fluff rice with a fork, garnish everything with fresh parsley or cilantro if desired and serve.
