Hearty potato, pepper, and sausage bake brings rustic comfort from Mediterranean kitchens. Savory ingredients meld together, creating a satisfying meal family members will eagerly devour.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb smoked sausage (sliced)
- 4 medium potatoes (diced)
- 2 bell peppers (red and green, sliced)
- 1 medium onion (sliced)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt (to taste)
- Pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare the oven at 400°F (200°C) and select a spacious baking sheet.
- Slice potatoes, bell peppers, and onions into uniform, bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
- Cut sausages into diagonal rounds approximately 1/2-inch thick for balanced texture and flavor distribution.
- Transfer all chopped ingredients into a generously sized mixing bowl.
- Drizzle extra virgin olive oil over the ingredients, ensuring complete surface coverage.
- Sprinkle garlic powder, smoked paprika, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper across the mixture.
- Gently toss ingredients using a large spatula to coat every piece with seasoning evenly.
- Arrange the seasoned mixture onto the baking sheet in a single, uncrowded layer to promote proper caramelization.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 35-40 minutes, stirring midway to prevent sticking and promote uniform browning.
- Verify doneness by checking potato tenderness and achieving a golden, crispy exterior.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes to allow flavors to settle.
- Optional: Garnish with finely chopped fresh parsley for a vibrant, herbaceous finish.
- Serve immediately while ingredients remain hot and crisp.
Notes
- Try different sausage varieties like spicy chorizo or mild Italian to customize flavor profiles and suit personal preferences.
- Dice vegetables uniformly to ensure even cooking and consistent texture throughout the baking process.
- For a lower-carb version, substitute potatoes with cauliflower or turnips to reduce overall starch content while maintaining similar roasted texture.
- Add fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary during the last 10 minutes of baking to enhance aromatic complexity without burning delicate herbs.
