A quick and easy sheet pan meal featuring crispy sausage and roasted vegetables, perfect for busy weeknights or casual entertaining.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Italian sausage links (mild or spicy, pork or chicken)
  • 1 pound baby potatoes (halved or quartered, Yukon Gold or red)
  • 2 medium bell peppers (any color, sliced into strips)
  • 1 large red onion (wedged)
  • 1 medium zucchini (sliced thick into rounds)
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley (optional, chopped for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash and halve the baby potatoes. Cut bell peppers into strips, slice zucchini into thick rounds, and wedge the red onion. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon pepper, and ½ teaspoon smoked paprika.
  4. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and roast for about 15 minutes.
  5. While potatoes roast, slice the sausage links into 1-inch pieces.
  6. Toss the bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion in the mixing bowl with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon oregano, ½ teaspoon salt, and a pinch of black pepper.
  7. After 15 minutes, remove the pan from the oven and add the sausage pieces and tossed vegetables, spreading everything evenly.
  8. Return the pan to the oven and roast for another 20 minutes, stirring halfway through to brown evenly and caramelize the veggies.
  9. Check for doneness: sausage should be cooked through with a crispy exterior, potatoes tender inside. Roast an extra 5 minutes if needed.
  10. Remove from oven and garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired. Let rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan to avoid steaming. Use high heat (425°F) for crispy edges. Turn sausage and veggies halfway through roasting for even browning. Rest before serving to let juices redistribute. If veggies brown too fast, tent with foil during last minutes. For lean sausage, add a splash of olive oil to keep moist.
