Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Italian sausage links (mild or spicy)
  • 2 medium bell peppers, sliced
  • 1 large red onion, cut into thick wedges
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, whole or halved
  • 2 cups baby potatoes, halved
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash and dry bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, and baby potatoes. Slice peppers into strips, halve the potatoes, and cut the onion into thick wedges.
  3. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, smoked paprika, dried oregano, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Toss the veggies in this mixture until evenly coated.
  4. Spread the seasoned veggies evenly on a rimmed sheet pan. Nestle the sausage links on top or between the veggies, leaving space between pieces.
  5. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes. Then use tongs to flip the sausage and gently stir the veggies.
  6. Continue roasting for another 10-15 minutes until the sausage reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) and the veggies are tender and browned at the edges.
  7. Optional: Broil for 2-3 minutes for extra crispiness, watching closely to avoid burning.
  8. Let the bake rest a few minutes on the pan to allow juices to settle, then serve warm.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure crispiness. Use natural casing sausages for best texture. Add cherry tomatoes halfway through roasting if you prefer them less soft. Let the bake rest before serving to redistribute juices. For gluten-free, verify sausage and seasoning ingredients. Leftovers reheat best in the oven to maintain crispness.
