Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 pound (453 grams) smoked sausage, sliced
Vegetables:
- 4 medium potatoes, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
Seasonings and Oil:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare a spacious baking sheet and warm the oven to a sizzling 400F (200C).
- Slice sausages and chop bell peppers into uniform bite-sized pieces, ensuring even cooking.
- Transfer potatoes, peppers, and sausage into a generously sized mixing vessel, drizzling with olive oil and generously coating with dried herbs and black pepper.
- Arrange the seasoned mixture across the baking sheet in a single, spread-out layer to guarantee crisp edges and thorough roasting.
- Position the sheet in the preheated oven and roast for approximately 35-40 minutes, rotating ingredients midway to promote consistent caramelization and prevent burning.
- Verify doneness by testing potato tenderness and checking for a golden-brown exterior on sausages.
- Remove from oven and allow to rest for 2-3 minutes to settle flavors and temperatures.
- Finely chop fresh parsley and sprinkle over the baked dish for a vibrant, herbaceous finish.
- Serve immediately while ingredients remain hot and crisp, presenting directly from the baking sheet for a rustic, appealing presentation.
Notes
- Slice potatoes uniformly to ensure even cooking and prevent some pieces from burning while others remain undercooked.
- Choose spicy or mild sausage based on personal heat preference, with Spanish chorizo adding extra flavor complexity.
- Use parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier, especially with high-oil ingredients.
- For a lighter version, swap traditional sausage with turkey or chicken sausage to reduce fat content without compromising taste.
