Step 1

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.

Step 2

Stir together rice, water, and tomatoes. Pour into foil tray. Bake for 10 minutes while you prepare the veggies and sausage.

Step 3

Toss together sausage, peppers, onions, olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dijon mustard.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.
