Best of all, it requires minimal prep and cleanup, making it a go-to recipe you’ll return to again and again.
Ingredients
-
1 ½ lbs Italian sausage (sweet or hot, cut into 2-inch pieces)
-
4 medium potatoes (russet or Yukon gold), diced into bite-sized chunks
-
2 bell peppers (red, yellow, or green), sliced
-
1 large onion, sliced
-
3 tbsp olive oil
-
1 tsp garlic powder
-
1 tsp paprika
-
½ tsp dried oregano
-
½ tsp dried thyme
-
Salt and black pepper, to taste
-
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
-
Prepare the vegetables: In a large bowl, toss the diced potatoes, sliced peppers, and onions with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
-
Assemble the pan: Spread the seasoned vegetables evenly across the baking sheet. Nestle the sausage pieces on top so the juices flavor the veggies as they roast.
-
Roast: Place the pan in the oven and roast for 40–45 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the potatoes are tender and golden brown and the sausage is cooked through.
-
Finish and serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot straight from the pan.
This dish pairs beautifully with a simple green salad, crusty bread, or even a side of rice. It’s rustic, filling, and satisfying — a true one-pan wonder.
Would you like me to also give you a variation using smoked sausage or chorizo for an extra flavor kick?
