Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1.5 lbs cooked or uncooked sausage (Italian, chicken apple, bratwurst, kielbasa, or your favorite flavor) sliced into 1-inch thick rounds if uncooked, or 1/2-inch thick coins if cooked.
  • 1.5 lbs baby potatoes (creamer potatoes, red, or yellow) halved or quartered depending on size.
  • 2-3 large bell peppers (any color) cored and cut into 1-inch strips.
  • 1 large onion (yellow or red) cut into thick wedges.
Seasoning & Oil
  • 3-4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 3-4 cloves garlic minced (or 1 tsp garlic powder).
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning (or a mix of oregano, basil, and thyme)
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste.
Garnish (Optional)
  • Fresh parsley or chives chopped.

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Large baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Large cutting board
  • Very large bowl

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Chop potatoes into halves or quarters, bell peppers into 1-inch strips, and the onion into thick wedges.
  3. Slice uncooked sausage into 1-inch rounds or cooked sausage into 1/2-inch coins.
Cooking
  1. In a large bowl, combine potatoes, bell peppers, onion, and sausage; drizzle with olive oil and add minced garlic, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  2. Toss thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly coated, then spread in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet(s) without overcrowding.
  3. Roast for 25-35 minutes at 400°F (200°C), stirring or flipping halfway through for even cooking and browning.
  4. Continue roasting until potatoes are tender, vegetables are caramelized, and sausage is cooked through and lightly browned.
Serving
  1. Remove from oven and, if desired, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley or chives before serving.

Notes

For best results, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to ensure vegetables roast rather than steam. You can use two baking sheets if necessary.
