Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb smoked sausage, sliced into rounds (or substitute with Italian sausage)
  • 1 ln baby potatoes halved (or diced russet potatoes)
  • 1 largw red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 large yellow bell pepper sliced
  • 1 large onion sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp dried oregano
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • fresh parsley for garnish optional

Equipment

  • 1 18 x 13 inches baking sheet For this Sausage and Veggie Bake recipe, you'll need a large baking sheet (also called a sheet pan or rimmed baking sheet).

    A standard half sheet pan (approximately 18 x 13 inches with a 1-inch rim) would be ideal for this recipe. This size gives you enough surface area to spread out the ingredients, allowing them to roast properly rather than steam.

    If you don't have a half-sheet pan, you could use: Two smaller quarter sheet pans.

    A large rimmed roasting pan (though the vegetables might not get as crispy)

    The key is to use a pan with enough surface area so the ingredients aren't overcrowded, which ensures proper browning and caramelization of the vegetables and sausage.

  • 1 large bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare the Vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the halved baby potatoes, sliced bell peppers, and onion (if using). Drizzle with olive oil and season with garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss it to coat it evenly.
  3. Add the Sausage: Add the sliced sausage to the bowl with the vegetables and toss to combine.
  4. Assemble on the Baking Sheet: Spread the sausage and veggie mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the potatoes are tender and golden brown and the sausage is cooked through.
  6. Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot as a complete meal or alongside a fresh green salad.
