Ingredients
Scale
Meat
- 4-6 smoked sausages (such as kielbasa)
Vegetables
- 1½ pounds baby potatoes (halved or whole if they’re small)
- 3 medium bell peppers (1 each red, green, and yellow, sliced into strips)
- 2 medium red onions (quartered)
Seasoning & Oils
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
Garnish
- Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to get it ready for roasting.
- Prepare the vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the halved baby potatoes, sliced bell peppers, and quartered red onions. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until the veggies are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
- Arrange on the sheet pan: Spread the seasoned vegetables in an even layer on a large sheet pan. Nestle the smoked sausages among the vegetables so everything cooks together.
- Roast in the oven: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and roast for 35 to 45 minutes. Halfway through cooking, turn the sausages and stir the vegetables to ensure even browning and cooking.
- Rest and serve: Once the sausages are browned and the potatoes are tender, remove the pan from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving to add a burst of color and freshness.
Notes
- This recipe is a great choice for a no-fuss dinner with minimal cleanup since everything cooks on one sheet pan.
- You can customize the vegetables based on what’s in season or your preferences.
- For even cooking, try to choose baby potatoes that are similar in size or halve them accordingly.
- Turning the sausages and stirring the veggies halfway through helps to get an even roast and caramelization.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated for a quick meal the next day.
