Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Italian sausage links (mild or spicy)
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced into strips
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced into strips
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced into strips
  • 2 medium russet potatoes, diced into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 large yellow onion, sliced
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, toss the diced russet potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, smoked paprika, half the minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well coated.
  3. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on one side of a large rimmed baking sheet.
  4. Roast the potatoes in the oven for about 15 minutes to give them a head start.
  5. While the potatoes roast, toss the sliced bell peppers and onion with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, oregano, salt, pepper, and the rest of the garlic.
  6. Remove the sheet pan from the oven and nestle the sausage links among the potatoes. Scatter the peppers and onions evenly around the sausage and potatoes.
  7. Return the pan to the oven and roast for an additional 20-25 minutes, turning the sausage and stirring the veggies halfway through. The sausage should be browned and cooked through (internal temperature 160°F / 71°C), and the potatoes golden and crispy.
  8. If the potatoes need more crisping, place the pan under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
  9. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over everything before serving.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan to avoid soggy veggies and potatoes. Cut potatoes uniformly for even cooking. Use high heat (425°F) for crispy edges. Turn sausage and stir veggies halfway through roasting. Pat sausage dry if wet to encourage browning. For gluten-free, check sausage label. Sweet potatoes can substitute russet potatoes but adjust roasting time accordingly. Broil briefly if potatoes need extra crisping.
