Ingredients

• 1 lb Italian sausage (mild or spicy)
• 1.5 lb Baby potatoes (red or gold)
• 3 tbsp Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 2 medium Bell peppers (any color), sliced
• 1 tsp Smoked paprika
• 1 tsp Dried oregano
• 0.5 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Clean and halve the baby potatoes. If they are larger, cut them into quarters to ensure even cooking.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper, smoked paprika, and dried oregano. Spread them evenly on a large sheet pan lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil.

Step 4

Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 20 minutes while preparing the remaining ingredients.

Step 5

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 6

Add the sliced bell peppers to the skillet and cook for another 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.

Step 7

Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet. Add the Italian sausages to the other side of the skillet. Brown the sausages for 3-4 minutes per side until lightly golden.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and slice the sausages into 1-inch pieces.

Step 9

After the potatoes have roasted for 20 minutes, remove them from the oven. Add the sautéed vegetables, sliced sausages, and minced garlic to the sheet pan with the potatoes. Sprinkle with an additional 0.25 teaspoon of salt and crushed red pepper flakes, if using.

Step 10

Return the sheet pan to the oven and roast for another 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the potatoes are crispy, the sausages are fully cooked, and the vegetables are tender.

Step 11

Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for garnish. Serve warm and enjoy!
