A quick and easy sheet pan dinner featuring crispy potatoes, juicy Italian sausage, and caramelized bell peppers, perfect for busy weeknights or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Italian sausage links, sliced or whole (sweet or spicy)
  • 3 medium bell peppers (red, yellow, green), sliced into strips
  • 1.5 pounds baby Yukon Gold or red potatoes, halved or quartered
  • 1 large yellow onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • A handful fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash and halve or quarter the baby potatoes. Dry thoroughly.
  3. Slice bell peppers into ½ inch wide strips and slice onion similarly.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, toss potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, half the minced garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper until well coated.
  5. Spread potatoes evenly on one side of a large rimmed sheet pan.
  6. In the same bowl, toss sliced peppers and onions with remaining olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
  7. Arrange peppers and onions on the other side of the sheet pan.
  8. Slice sausage links into 1-inch pieces if using links and nestle them between the veggies on the pan.
  9. Roast in the oven for about 25 minutes. Halfway through (around 12 minutes), toss potatoes and veggies and flip sausage pieces for even browning.
  10. Check for doneness: potatoes should be fork-tender and golden, sausage fully cooked (internal temp 160°F/71°C), and peppers soft with some char.
  11. If needed, roast an additional 5-10 minutes for extra crispiness, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  12. Remove from oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Dry potatoes well before roasting to ensure crispiness. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming. Toss veggies and sausage halfway through cooking for even browning. Use fresh or thawed sausage for best results. Leftovers reheat best in the oven to maintain crisp texture.
