Equipment

  • Large rimmed baking sheet

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs sausage (your favorite kind, e.g., Italian sweet or hot, chicken, plant-based), sliced into 1-inch pieces
  • 1.5 lbs baby potatoes halved or quartered depending on size (red or yellow)
  • 2 large bell peppers any color (e.g., a mix of red, yellow, orange), cut into 1-inch strips
  • 1 large onion cut into thick wedges

Seasoning & Oil

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (smoked paprika for depth)
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme mix)
  • Salt & black pepper to taste

Garnish (Optional)

  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, ½ teaspoon each of garlic powder, paprika, Italian herbs, salt, and pepper.
  • Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on one side of the prepared baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes.

Combine & Roast

  • While potatoes roast, combine the sausage, bell peppers, and onion in the same bowl with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and ½ teaspoon each of garlic powder, paprika, Italian herbs, salt, and pepper.
  • After 15 minutes, remove the baking sheet, add the sausage and vegetable mixture, spreading everything into an even layer.
  • Return the sheet pan to the oven and roast for another 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until the sausage is browned and vegetables are tender-crisp.

Serving

  • Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve hot immediately.

Notes

For crispier vegetables and sausage, ensure you don't overcrowd the baking sheet; use two if necessary. The prep time can be reduced by pre-chopping vegetables. Feel free to customize with your favorite sausage variety and bell pepper colors.
