Here's one of my favorite weeknight dinners that comes together in under an hour. Roasted sausage with avocado is a total crowd pleaser that feels fancy but requires barely any fuss. The beauty of this dish is how quickly it comes together while still tasting like you spent hours in the kitchen. Avocados are loaded with heart healthy fats that keep you satisfied, and when combined with juicy roasted sausages and fresh cilantro lime flavors, it becomes something truly special. Best of all, most of these ingredients are pantry staples, so it won't break the bank.

Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat the sausages dry with paper towels to help them brown evenly.
Tip: Dry sausages crisp up better and brown more beautifully in the oven.
- 2
In a large roasting pan, toss the sausages with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- 3
Arrange the sausages in a single layer and roast for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through.
Tip: The sausages are done when they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
- 4
While the sausages roast, prepare the salsa by combining cherry tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro in a bowl. Dress with lime juice, remaining olive oil, and a pinch of salt.
Tip: Make the salsa while the sausages cook to save time.
- 5
Remove the roasted sausages from the oven and let rest for 3 minutes before serving.
Tip: Resting allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
- 6
Arrange avocado halves on serving plates, fill with the fresh tomato salsa, and place roasted sausages alongside.
Tip: If avocados are soft, scoop the flesh into small portions for easier serving.
- 7
Drizzle any pan drippings from the roasting pan over the sausages and serve immediately with warm crusty bread.
Tip: The flavorful pan juices add extra depth to the dish.
