Ingredients
| Ingredient | Notes |
|---|---|
| Sausages | Pork, chicken, turkey, or plant-based varieties; Italian-style sausages add extra flavor |
| Potatoes | Baby potatoes, Yukon Gold, or red potatoes, cut into evenly sized pieces |
| Bell peppers | Red, yellow, orange, or green, sliced into strips |
| Onions (optional) | Cut into thick slices for extra sweetness |
| Olive oil | Helps the ingredients brown evenly and prevents sticking |
| Seasonings | Salt, black pepper, garlic, rosemary, thyme, or oregano |
Instructions
- Prepare the vegetables: Wash and dry the potatoes and peppers. Cut the potatoes into evenly sized chunks, slice the bell peppers into strips, and cut the onion into thick wedges if using.
- Prepare the sausages: Leave the sausages whole to help retain their juices, or cut them into large pieces if you prefer more browned edges.
- Season everything: Place the sausages, potatoes, peppers, and onions in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, black pepper, garlic, and your choice of herbs. Toss until everything is evenly coated.
- Preheat the oven: Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a large rimmed baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
- Arrange on the tray: Spread the ingredients in a single layer, leaving space between the pieces. If necessary, use two baking sheets to prevent overcrowding.
- Roast until golden: Bake for approximately 35–45 minutes, turning the potatoes, peppers, and sausages halfway through cooking. Continue roasting until the potatoes are tender, the vegetables are lightly caramelized,
