Make this hearty, simple weeknight sausage and peppers recipe on one sheet pan for easy cleanup. You get tender roasted potatoes alongside savory sausage and sweet vegetables.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lb small Yukon Gold or red potatoes, quartered
  • 1 lb Italian sausage links (sweet or hot)
  • 2 large bell peppers (any color), cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 large yellow onion, cut into thick wedges
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: Red pepper flakes for extra heat

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for the easiest cleanup.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the quartered potatoes, olive oil, oregano, basil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.
  3. Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on one half of the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Place the sausage links on the other half of the baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching.
  5. Roast the potatoes and sausage for 15 minutes. This initial roast helps the potatoes start cooking before adding the vegetables.
  6. Remove the pan from the oven. Add the cut peppers and onions to the pan, tossing them gently with the sausage and potatoes. If using, sprinkle red pepper flakes over the mixture.
  7. Return the pan to the oven and roast for another 20 to 25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork and the sausage is cooked through (internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit).
  8. Serve immediately as a hearty family dinner idea.

Notes

  • For perfectly cooked potatoes, cut them into uniform, small pieces. If you prefer a crispier texture, toss the potatoes with the oil and seasonings first and give them a 10-minute head start alone before adding the sausage and vegetables.
  • You can use pre-cooked sausage, but adjust the final roasting time down to about 15 minutes, as you are only heating it through.
  • This recipe works well in a large skillet over medium heat; brown the sausage first, remove it, cook the vegetables until soft, then add the potatoes (par-boil them first for 5 minutes to speed up skillet cooking), and return the sausage to finish.
