16 Italian sausages
1 thin eggplant
1 red bell pepper
1 yellow bell pepper
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp dried rosemary
1 tsp dried thyme
generous pinches of salt
Position oven racks in top and bottom third of oven. Preheat to 400F (200C). Prick each sausage in two to three places, then place on a large, oiled rimmed baking sheet or pan. Slice zucchini into bite-sized rounds. Cut unpeeled eggplant and peppers into large chunks. Place all on another baking sheet, then drizzle with oil and sprinkle with seasonings. Stir to coat.
Place vegetable pan on top oven rack and sausage pan on bottom rack. Roast, switching sheets halfway through, until vegetables are tender and sausages cooked, 35 to 45 min. Serve 6 of the sausages for dinner, along with vegetables. Refrigerate remaining sausages up to 2 days or freeze up to a month.
