Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds baby potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes, halved or quartered
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 4–6 Italian sausages (about 1.5 pounds)
  • 2 large bell peppers, sliced into 1/2-inch strips
  • 1 large yellow onion, sliced into 1/2-inch wedges
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)
  • Grated Parmesan cheese (for garnish, optional)
  • Red pepper flakes (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Position the oven rack in the middle. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Wash and dry the potatoes, then halve or quarter them to roughly the same size. In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, smoked paprika, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on one side of the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Roast the potatoes alone for 15 minutes.
  4. While the potatoes roast, slice the bell peppers into 1/2-inch strips and cut the onion into wedges, separating the layers. Mince the garlic. In a separate bowl, toss the peppers and onions with 2 tablespoons olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Do not add the garlic yet.
  5. After 15 minutes, remove the pan from the oven. Push the potatoes to one side. Arrange the sausages in a single layer on the other side. Scatter the seasoned peppers and onions around the sausages and potatoes, keeping everything in a single layer.
  6. Roast for another 20 minutes. Remove the pan and sprinkle the minced garlic over everything. Use tongs to flip the sausages and stir the vegetables and potatoes.
  7. Return the pan to the oven and roast for another 10-15 minutes, until the sausages are cooked through (internal temperature of 160°F/71°C) and the potatoes are tender and golden.
  8. Let the sheet pan rest for 5 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with fresh parsley, grated Parmesan, and red pepper flakes if desired. Serve directly from the pan or transfer to a platter.

Notes

Don’t overcrowd the pan to ensure proper roasting. Cut ingredients to similar sizes for even cooking. Pat potatoes dry before oiling for extra crispiness. For extra-crispy potatoes, preheat the baking sheet in the oven before adding the oiled potatoes. Use sausages with natural casings for the best snap.
