A quick and easy sheet pan dinner featuring crispy sausage links and a colorful mix of roasted vegetables, perfect for weeknight meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound smoked Italian sausage links (or bratwurst or chicken sausage)
  • 1 pound red potatoes, quartered
  • 3 medium carrots, peeled and cut into sticks
  • 2 bell peppers (any color), sliced
  • 1 medium red onion, cut into wedges
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme blend)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt to taste (preferably kosher salt)
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine quartered red potatoes, carrot sticks, sliced bell peppers, and red onion wedges. Toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil, minced garlic, dried Italian herbs, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Spread the vegetables out in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding to prevent steaming.
  4. Nestle the sausage links among the vegetables on the pan. Lightly brush or drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over the sausage links.
  5. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes.
  6. Remove the pan carefully, use tongs to turn the sausage and toss the vegetables to promote even cooking.
  7. Return the pan to the oven and roast for another 15-20 minutes until potatoes are fork-tender, sausage is browned, and vegetables are caramelized at the edges.
  8. Check the sausage for doneness by cutting into a link or using a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches 160°F (71°C). If vegetables need more time, roast an additional 5-10 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  9. Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top if desired and serve hot directly from the pan.

Notes

Toss vegetables and turn sausage halfway through roasting to ensure even cooking and crispiness. Pat sausage dry before oiling to prevent steaming. Avoid overcrowding the pan to maintain crisp edges. Use high heat (425°F) for best caramelization. Leftovers reheat best in the oven to retain crispiness.
