A quick, fuss-free sheet pan dinner featuring crispy sausage and perfectly roasted vegetables, ready in just 20 minutes—ideal for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 to 5 links Italian or smoked sausage, sliced into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, diced into bite-sized chunks
  • 1 large red bell pepper, sliced into strips
  • 1 medium yellow onion, cut into wedges
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • A handful fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Dice the potatoes into 1-inch chunks, slice the sausage into 1-inch pieces, cut the bell pepper into strips, and wedge the onion. Mince the garlic last.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the potatoes, bell pepper, onion, and garlic. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil, sprinkle smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat evenly.
  4. Spread the seasoned veggies in a single layer on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  5. Arrange the sausage pieces on top of the veggies. Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the sausage.
  6. Roast in the oven for 15-18 minutes. Halfway through (8-9 minutes), flip the sausage and gently stir the veggies for even cooking.
  7. Check for doneness: sausage should be browned and crispy on edges, potatoes tender with a golden crust. Roast 2-3 more minutes if needed.
  8. Remove from oven, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top, and serve immediately.

Notes

For crispier potatoes, parboil for 5 minutes before roasting. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure crispiness. Flip sausage and stir veggies halfway through cooking. Use sausages with natural casings for best texture. Leftovers reheat best in a skillet to maintain crispiness.
