How to Make One-Pan Roasted Sausages with Peppers & Potatoes

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the oven.
Set your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment for easier cleanup.

2. Chop your veggies.
Halve or quarter the potatoes (depending on size), slice peppers and onion.

3. Toss everything.
In a large bowl or directly on the pan, combine potatoes, peppers, and onions. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder, oregano, and paprika. Toss to coat.

4. Add sausages.
Nestle the sausages among the vegetables. You can leave them whole or slice them halfway through cooking if you like crispy edges.

5. Roast.
Place the pan in the oven and roast for 35–40 minutes, flipping the sausages and stirring the veggies halfway through, until everything is golden and cooked through.

6. Serve!
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot. That’s it!

What to Serve with This Dish

• A simple green salad with lemon vinaigrette
• Crusty bread or garlic toast
• Dijon mustard or grainy mustard on the side
• Roasted broccoli or green beans for more veggies

Tips for Perfect Roasting

• Cut potatoes into uniform sizes so they roast evenly.
• Don’t overcrowd the pan—use two pans if needed.
