A quick and easy sheet pan dinner featuring crispy Italian sausage, roasted bell peppers, and tender potatoes with a smoky, savory flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4–5 Italian sausage links (about 1 lb / 450 g), sweet or mild
  • 1 lb Yukon Gold potatoes, diced into 1-inch cubes
  • 3 medium bell peppers (mixed colors: red, yellow, green), sliced into strips
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp 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. Wash and cut Yukon Gold potatoes into roughly 1-inch cubes. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.
  3. Toss potatoes in a large mixing bowl with 2 tablespoons olive oil, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, and ½ teaspoon smoked paprika.
  4. Spread potatoes in a single layer on one half of your sheet pan, avoiding crowding.
  5. Slice bell peppers into uniform strips about ½ inch thick.
  6. In the same bowl, toss peppers with 1 tablespoon olive oil, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon dried oregano, and a pinch of black pepper.
  7. Arrange the bell peppers next to the potatoes on the sheet pan, keeping them separate.
  8. Add the Italian sausage links to the remaining space on the pan. Keep whole or slice into 1-inch pieces if preferred.
  9. Place the sheet pan in the oven and roast for 25 minutes.
  10. At the halfway point (around 12 minutes), use tongs to flip the sausages and stir the potatoes and peppers gently.
  11. Roast for another 10-15 minutes until sausages reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C), potatoes are golden and crisp, and bell peppers are tender with slightly charred edges.
  12. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes.
  13. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
  14. Serve hot and enjoy.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure crispiness. Pat potatoes dry before seasoning. Flip sausages and stir veggies halfway through cooking for even browning. If potatoes are not crispy enough, increase oven temperature for last 5 minutes or broil briefly, watching carefully to avoid burning. Use sausages with natural casings for best texture. Let sausages rest after roasting to keep them juicy.
