Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound smoked sausage or Italian sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
  • 1 pound baby red or Yukon gold potatoes, halved or quartered
  • 2 medium bell peppers, sliced into strips
  • 1 medium red onion, cut into wedges
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced into thick half-moons (optional)
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Chopped parsley or thyme for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Slice the sausage into 1/2-inch rounds, halve the baby potatoes, and chop the bell peppers, red onion, and zucchini into roughly equal sizes.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sausage and all chopped veggies. Add olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything well to coat evenly.
  4. Spread the mixture out evenly on a rimmed baking sheet, avoiding overcrowding.
  5. Place the pan in the oven and roast for 25-30 minutes. Halfway through (around 15 minutes), use tongs to turn the sausage and vegetables for even browning.
  6. Check for doneness: potatoes should be fork-tender and sausage browned with a slight crisp on edges. Roast an extra 5 minutes if needed.
  7. Remove from oven and sprinkle fresh herbs on top. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use a rimmed baking sheet to prevent mess. Toss ingredients halfway through roasting for even caramelization. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure roasting instead of steaming. For extra flavor, marinate sausage before roasting or finish under broiler for 2 minutes for crispier edges. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days.
