A simple, one-pan dinner featuring Italian sausage, bell peppers, onions, and crispy roasted potatoes. Perfect for busy weeknights or game day, this meal comes together in about 45 minutes with minimal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs (680 g) Italian sausage (sweet or hot, uncooked)
  • 3 medium bell peppers (assorted colors), sliced into 1/2-inch strips
  • 1 large yellow onion, cut into wedges
  • 2 lbs (900 g) Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 3 tablespoons (45 ml) olive oil, divided
  • 1 tablespoon (8 g) cornstarch
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, plus more to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or foil.
  2. In a large bowl, toss potato cubes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, cornstarch, garlic, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Spread potatoes in a single layer on one side of the prepared sheet pan.
  4. Prick sausages with a fork and place on the other side of the pan. Toss sliced peppers and onion wedges with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper, then scatter around sausages.
  5. Roast for 20 minutes. Remove pan, stir potatoes and vegetables, and flip sausages.
  6. Return to oven and roast for another 15-20 minutes, until sausages are browned and cooked through (internal temperature 160°F/71°C), peppers are caramelized, and potatoes are golden and crispy.
  7. Let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

For extra-crispy potatoes, don’t skip the cornstarch. If using chicken or turkey sausage, check for doneness earlier to prevent drying out. Let the pan rest for 5 minutes after roasting to allow juices to settle. Avoid crowding the pan to ensure proper browning.
