Equipment

  • Large baking sheet
  • Parchment paper

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs baby potatoes halved or quartered
  • 1 lb Italian sausage sweet or hot, links or bulk, cut into 1-inch pieces if links
  • 2 bell peppers any color, cut into 1-inch strips
  • 1 red onion cut into thick wedges

Seasoning & Garnish

  • 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon smoked paprika optional
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley chopped, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  • On the prepared baking sheet, combine the potatoes, sausage, bell peppers, and red onion.

Seasoning & Roasting

  • Drizzle everything with olive oil, then sprinkle with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, smoked paprika (if desired), salt, and pepper.
  • Toss gently to coat all ingredients and spread them into a single layer on the baking sheet.
  • Roast for 25-35 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the potatoes are tender, sausage is browned, and vegetables are caramelized.

Serving

  • Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

This recipe is highly versatile; feel free to add other vegetables like broccoli or zucchini. Always ensure sausage is cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) for safety. Adjust seasoning to your preference.
