Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4-6 smoked sausages (such as kielbasa)
- 1½ pounds baby potatoes (halved or whole if small)
- 3 medium bell peppers (1 each red, green, and yellow)
- 2 medium red onions (quartered)
Seasoning and Garnish
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prep the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it's ready for roasting the ingredients to perfection.
- Toss the veggies: In a large bowl, combine the halved baby potatoes, strips of red, green, and yellow bell peppers, and quartered red onions. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated with the seasonings.
- Spread veggies and sausage on pan: Arrange the seasoned vegetables evenly on a large sheet pan. Nestle the smoked sausages among the vegetables to allow all ingredients to roast together uniformly.
- Roast to perfection: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and roast for 35-45 minutes. About halfway through cooking, turn the sausages and stir the vegetables to promote even browning and cooking.
- Rest and serve: Remove the sheet pan from the oven and let the dish rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness before serving.
Notes
- For best results, choose baby potatoes that are roughly the same size to ensure even cooking.
- You can substitute smoked sausage with chicken sausage or any other preferred sausage variety.
- If you prefer a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes when seasoning the vegetables.
- Serve with a side of crusty bread or a fresh green salad to complete the meal.
