A quick and easy sheet pan dinner featuring spicy Italian sausage and colorful roasted vegetables, perfect for a hearty weeknight meal with minimal fuss.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Italian sausage links (spicy or mild)
  • 3 medium bell peppers (red, yellow, and green), sliced
  • 1 large red onion, cut into wedges
  • 12 ounces baby potatoes (Yukon Gold or fingerlings), halved
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning (oregano, basil, thyme mix)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, a handful chopped (optional for garnish)
  • Red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash and slice bell peppers into strips, cut the red onion into wedges, and halve the baby potatoes, keeping pieces uniform.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, toss the potatoes, bell peppers, and onions with olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until well coated.
  4. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding.
  5. Place the sausage links on top of the vegetables, spacing them evenly. Separate linked sausages for even cooking.
  6. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes. At 15 minutes, flip the sausages and stir the vegetables for even browning.
  7. Check for doneness: sausages should be browned and cooked through (internal temp 160°F/70°C), potatoes tender, and vegetables caramelized.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and optional red pepper flakes.
  9. Serve immediately with crusty bread or a simple green salad.

Notes

If veggies brown too fast but remain firm, tent loosely with foil to prevent burning. Flip sausages halfway through cooking for even crispiness. Parboil potatoes for 5 minutes if they take longer to cook. Let dish rest a few minutes after roasting to let flavors settle. For precooked sausage, reduce roasting time and add in last 10 minutes to warm through.
