A quick and easy one-pan dinner featuring crispy sausage and caramelized roasted vegetables, perfect for busy weeknights and customizable to your taste.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Italian sausage links or patties (or smoked sausage or bratwurst)
  • 3 medium carrots, peeled and cut into sticks
  • 2 medium bell peppers, sliced
  • 1 large red onion, sliced into wedges
  • 1 pound baby potatoes, halved (Yukon gold or red potatoes)
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • A handful of fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Peel and cut the carrots into 3-inch sticks. Slice the bell peppers into strips, halve the baby potatoes, and cut the red onion into wedges. Place all the vegetables in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Drizzle the vegetables with 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Sprinkle garlic powder, dried Italian herbs, salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Toss until well coated.
  4. Spread the seasoned vegetables evenly on a large rimmed baking sheet in a single layer, leaving space for the sausage.
  5. Place the sausage links or patties on the pan, spacing them apart to roast rather than steam.
  6. Roast in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Use tongs to flip the sausage and gently stir the vegetables to ensure even cooking.
  7. Return the pan to the oven and roast for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the sausage is browned and crisp and the vegetables are tender with golden edges.
  8. Check that the internal temperature of the sausage reaches 160°F (71°C) and that vegetables are fork-tender and caramelized.
  9. Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top before serving.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan to avoid steaming the vegetables. Use high heat (425°F) for caramelization and crispiness. Flip sausage and stir vegetables halfway through cooking. For extra browning, broil for 2-3 minutes at the end but watch closely. Use fresh or raw sausage for best results. Reheat leftovers in oven or toaster oven to maintain crispness; avoid microwaving.
