Print Recipe

A simple and delicious sheet pan dinner featuring crispy potatoes, juicy sausage, and roasted bell peppers with a perfect balance of textures and flavors. Ideal for quick weeknight meals with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 Italian sausages (about 1 pound/450g), mild or spicy
  • 1.5 pounds (700g) baby Yukon gold potatoes, halved or quartered
  • 3 medium bell peppers (red, yellow, and green), sliced into strips
  • 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional but recommended)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, toss the halved potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper until well coated.
  3. Spread the potatoes in one layer on one side of a large rimmed baking sheet, leaving space for sausage and peppers.
  4. Roast the potatoes in the oven for 15 minutes to start crisping.
  5. While potatoes roast, slice bell peppers and onion; toss with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  6. Remove the baking sheet from the oven; nestle sausages on the open side and spread peppers and onions around them. Toss gently to avoid crowding.
  7. Return the pan to the oven and roast for another 20-25 minutes, turning sausages and stirring veggies halfway through.
  8. Check that sausages reach an internal temperature of at least 160°F (71°C), potatoes are fork-tender with crispy edges, and peppers are softened but bright.
  9. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top before serving.

Notes

Do not crowd the pan to ensure crispiness; turn sausages and stir veggies halfway through roasting for even cooking. Use a kitchen thermometer to check sausage doneness. Parboiling potatoes for 5 minutes before roasting can increase crispiness but is optional. Let the pan rest a few minutes after roasting to settle flavors. For gluten-free, verify sausage ingredients. For extra crispness, a wire rack can be used but is not necessary.
