A quick and easy sheet pan meal featuring crispy Italian sausage and roasted vegetables, perfect for busy weeknights with minimal prep and cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Italian sausage links (mild or spicy)
  • 2 red bell peppers, sliced
  • 1 medium zucchini, cut into half-moons
  • 1 medium red onion, cut into wedges
  • 1 pound baby potatoes, halved (Yukon Gold or fingerlings)
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. Slice the bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion into ½-inch thick pieces. Halve the baby potatoes. Optionally, slice sausage links diagonally into 1-inch pieces for quicker cooking.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, toss the veggies with olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until well coated.
  4. Arrange the veggies and sausage on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring space around the sausage for crisping.
  5. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes. At 15 minutes, flip the sausage and stir the veggies for even cooking.
  6. Check the potatoes with a fork for tenderness; if needed, roast an additional 5 minutes.
  7. Remove from oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired. Let sit for a few minutes to allow flavors to settle.
  8. Serve hot directly from the pan, optionally with crusty bread or a green salad.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan to avoid steaming the veggies. Use high heat (425°F) for crispiness. Flip sausage and stir veggies halfway through cooking. For vegetarian option, substitute sausage with plant-based sausage or mushrooms. Reheat leftovers in oven at 375°F for 10-15 minutes to maintain crispiness.
