Ingredients

Sausages

  • Italian sausages, 4 links (mild or spicy)

Vegetables

  • Yukon Gold or red potatoes, 1.5 pounds, washed and diced into bite-sized chunks
  • Bell peppers (red, yellow, and green), 3 medium, sliced into strips
  • Garlic, 3 cloves, minced

Seasonings and Oils

  • Olive oil, 3 tablespoons
  • Dried oregano, 1 teaspoon
  • Dried thyme, 1 teaspoon
  • Salt, 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste)
  • Black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon (freshly ground)

Instructions

  1. Prep and Preheat: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and dice the potatoes into bite-sized chunks, slice the bell peppers into strips, and prick the sausages a few times with a fork to prevent bursting during roasting.
  2. Toss Ingredients in Olive Oil and Seasonings: In a large bowl, combine the diced potatoes, sliced bell peppers, and minced garlic. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and thyme. Toss everything thoroughly until evenly coated.
  3. Arrange on a Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned vegetables in an even layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. Nestle the sausages among the vegetables, making sure nothing is overcrowded to allow proper roasting and caramelization.
  4. Roast in the Oven: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 35 to 40 minutes. Turn the sausages and vegetables halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning and a golden finish.
  5. Check for Doneness and Serve: Verify that the potatoes are tender inside and crispy outside, and the sausages are browned and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 160°F / 71°C for pork sausages). Remove from the oven and let rest for a couple of minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute and flavors to settle.

Notes

  • Cut potato chunks uniformly to ensure even cooking and prevent soggy or dry pieces.
  • Do not overcrowd the baking sheet to promote caramelization and crisp texture.
  • Turn the ingredients halfway through roasting to ensure even browning and prevent sticking.
  • Use a meat thermometer to confirm sausages are fully cooked, especially when using different types.
  • Let the dish rest briefly after roasting to enhance flavor and texture.
