Sausages
- Choose your favorite sausages (Italian, bratwurst, chicken, or chorizo) – about 1 to 1.5 pounds
Vegetables
- 1.5 pounds baby potatoes or Yukon gold potatoes, washed and halved
- 3 bell peppers (a mix of red, yellow, and green), sliced into strips
- 2–3 cloves garlic, minced
- Optional: 1 sliced red or yellow onion
Seasonings & Oils
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Optional spices: 1 teaspoon paprika, chili flakes, or cumin (adjust to preference)
- Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and halve the baby potatoes, and slice the bell peppers into strips. If using larger sausages, cut them into bite-sized pieces for faster cooking and easier serving.
- Toss with Oil and Seasonings: In a large mixing bowl, combine the potatoes, bell peppers, minced garlic, fresh herbs (rosemary and thyme), olive oil, salt, pepper, and any optional spices. Toss thoroughly so each piece is well-coated. Gently add the sausages and mix carefully to coat them without breaking the casing.
- Arrange on a Baking Sheet: Spread the sausage and vegetable mixture evenly in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased. Place potatoes cut side down to achieve a golden crust.
- Roast to Perfection: Roast in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, flipping the sausages and stirring the vegetables halfway through cooking. Aim for crispy golden potatoes, tender bell peppers, and sausages cooked through with a crispy exterior.
- Serve and Enjoy: Remove from oven and let rest for a couple of minutes to allow flavors to settle and make slicing sausages easier. Serve warm, straight from the pan for an effortless and satisfying meal.
Notes
- Cut vegetables and sausages into similar sizes for even cooking.
- Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to ensure roasting instead of steaming, which helps achieve crispiness.
- Using a convection oven setting enhances crispiness and reduces cooking time.
- Marinate sausages beforehand with garlic, herbs, and olive oil for extra flavor.
- Check internal temperature of sausages: minimum 160°F (71°C) for pork, 165°F (74°C) for poultry.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and freeze for up to 2 months.
- Reheat leftovers in a 375°F (190°C) oven for 10-15 minutes or in a skillet to regain crispiness.
