Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450g) sausage links or pre-cooked sausage slices (mild Italian or smoked sausage preferred)
  • 1 large red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced into thick half-moons
  • 1 medium red onion, cut into wedges
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 cups baby potatoes, halved (Yukon gold or red potatoes recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: red pepper flakes for heat, fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash and chop all vegetables: red bell pepper into bite-sized chunks, zucchini into thick half-moons, onion into wedges, cherry tomatoes halved, and potatoes halved.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir until well blended.
  4. Add all vegetables and sausage pieces to the bowl and toss well to coat evenly with the seasoning mixture.
  5. Spread the mixture out in a single layer on a rimmed sheet pan, avoiding overcrowding.
  6. Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
  7. Use a spatula or tongs to toss and flip the sausage and vegetables for even cooking.
  8. Continue roasting for another 10-15 minutes until sausage reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) and vegetables are tender and browned.
  9. Remove from oven, taste for seasoning, and add more salt or pepper if needed.
  10. Garnish with fresh parsley or red pepper flakes if desired.
  11. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

If potatoes take longer to cook, parboil them for 5 minutes before roasting. Toss ingredients halfway through cooking for even caramelization. Use sausages with some fat content to keep the dish juicy. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming. For gluten-free, verify sausage ingredients or use certified gluten-free sausage. Reheat leftovers in a 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes to maintain crispness.
