Description
A quick and delicious weeknight dinner featuring savory Italian sausage, tender bell peppers, and crispy potatoes all baked on a single sheet pan.
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
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Wash and cut Yukon Gold potatoes into roughly 1-inch cubes. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.
- Toss potatoes in a large mixing bowl with 2 tablespoons olive oil, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, and ½ teaspoon smoked paprika.
- Spread the potatoes in a single layer on one half of your sheet pan, avoiding crowding.
- Slice bell peppers into uniform strips about ½ inch thick.
- In the same bowl, toss the peppers with 1 tablespoon olive oil, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon dried oregano, and a pinch of black pepper.
- Arrange the bell peppers next to the potatoes on the sheet pan, keeping them separate.
- Add the Italian sausage links to the remaining space on the pan. Keep them whole or slice into 1-inch pieces if preferred.
- Place the sheet pan in the oven and roast for 25 minutes.
- At the halfway point (around 12 minutes), use tongs to flip the sausages and stir the potatoes and peppers gently.
- 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.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
For a spicier version, use hot Italian sausage or add chili flakes. Feel free to add other vegetables like zucchini or carrots for more flavor.
