Description
This easy sausage and potato sheet pan dinner is your new weeknight hero, packed with savory sausage, tender potatoes, and vibrant vegetables, all roasted to perfection with simple seasonings. It’s a complete meal that requires minimal fuss and cleanup, making it ideal for busy evenings.
Ingredients
• 1 lb smoked beef or turkey sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch coin rounds • 1.5 lbs Yukon gold potatoes, cut into 3/4-inch cubes • 1 red bell pepper, chopped • 1 yellow bell pepper, chopped • 1 small red onion, chopped • 3 tbsp olive oil • 1 tsp garlic powder • 1 tsp smoked paprika • 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning • Salt and black pepper to taste • Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
Prepare your oven by preheating it to 400F and lining a large baking sheet with parchment paper. In a big bowl, mix together your cubed potatoes, chopped bell peppers, chopped red onion, and sliced sausage. Drizzle olive oil over the sausage and vegetable mix, then season with garlic powder, smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss until everything is well coated, then spread in a single layer on your prepared baking sheet. Bake for 30-35 minutes, turning halfway, until the potatoes are delightfully crispy and tender. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot right from the pan.
Notes
Cutting the potatoes into uniform 3/4-inch cubes ensures they cook evenly. Don’t skip this step for perfectly roasted potatoes.
If your baking sheet looks too full, it’s better to use two smaller sheets. Overcrowding will steam the ingredients instead of roasting them, and you won’t get those lovely crispy bits.
The potatoes are the star here, so aim for fork-tender with slightly crispy edges. The sausage should be heated through and lightly browned.
Seriously, using parchment paper makes cleanup a breeze. This recipe is designed for minimal dishes!
