INGREDIENT NOTES & DETAILS
Sausages
Italian sausages work beautifully—sweet or spicy.
You can also use chicken sausage or smoked sausage.
Potatoes
Yukon Gold or baby potatoes roast best.
They get crispy on the outside while staying fluffy inside.
Bell peppers
Use a mix of red, yellow, and orange peppers for sweetness.
Green peppers add a slightly more savory flavor if you prefer.
Red onion
Adds natural sweetness as it roasts.
It becomes soft and lightly caramelized.
Olive oil
Helps everything roast evenly and develop color.
Use good-quality olive oil for best flavor.
Garlic
Fresh garlic adds depth and aroma.
It roasts gently and becomes mellow.
Italian seasoning
A blend of herbs that complements both sausages and vegetables.
You can substitute with dried oregano and thyme.
Salt and black pepper
Season generously for bold, well-rounded flavor.
STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven
Set your oven to 425°F (220°C).
This high heat is key for crispy, oven roasted potatoes.
Prepare the vegetables
Cut the potatoes into evenly sized chunks.
Slice the bell peppers and red onion into thick strips.
Season everything
Place potatoes, peppers, and onion on a large baking sheet.
Drizzle with olive oil, then add garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Add the sausages
Nestle the sausages directly among the vegetables.
This allows their juices to flavor the potatoes as they roast.
Roast until golden
Bake for 35–45 minutes, flipping everything halfway through.
The potatoes should be crispy and the sausages browned and cooked through.
