Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound smoked sausage links, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
  • 2 medium red bell peppers, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 medium red onion, cut into wedges
  • 2 medium zucchinis, sliced into thick half-moons
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes (optional)
  • 1 pound baby potatoes, halved (Yukon Gold or red potatoes)
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes
  • 1 lemon, sliced thinly (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash and cut the red bell peppers, red onion, zucchinis, cherry tomatoes (if using), and baby potatoes. Ensure potato halves are roughly the same size.
  3. Slice the smoked sausage into 1/2-inch rounds.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine sausage slices, chopped vegetables, minced garlic, olive oil, dried Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss gently but thoroughly to coat evenly.
  5. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Spread the sausage and veggies in a single layer without overcrowding.
  6. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring or flipping halfway through (around 15 minutes) for even browning. Potatoes should be tender and sausage caramelized.
  7. Remove from oven and squeeze fresh lemon juice over everything or garnish with lemon slices.
  8. Serve hot, optionally with a green salad or crusty bread.

Notes

Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming and soggy veggies. Toss ingredients well with oil and seasonings. Flip halfway through roasting for even crispiness. Use high heat (425°F) for crispy edges. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheat best in a skillet or oven to maintain crispness.
