A quick and easy one-pan dinner featuring crispy smoked or Italian sausage and roasted vegetables with a perfect balance of crispy and tender textures.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound smoked sausage or Italian sausage links, sliced into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 medium russet or Yukon gold potatoes, diced into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 medium bell peppers, cut into 1-inch strips
  • 1 medium red onion, cut into wedges
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes
  • Optional: squeeze of fresh lemon juice after baking

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash and cut the potatoes into roughly 1-inch cubes. Slice the bell peppers into strips, wedge the red onion, and halve the zucchini into half-moons.
  3. Cut the sausage into 1-inch thick rounds or slice diagonally if using links.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine potatoes, bell peppers, onion, zucchini, and sausage. Drizzle with olive oil, add minced garlic, dried thyme, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
  5. Spread the mixture in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet, avoiding overcrowding.
  6. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes. Halfway through (around 15 minutes), flip the sausage and vegetables using tongs or a spatula for even cooking.
  7. Check for doneness: potatoes should be fork-tender and golden brown; sausage edges crispy. Roast an additional 5 minutes if needed, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  8. Remove from oven. Optionally sprinkle with fresh parsley or squeeze lemon juice to brighten flavors. Serve hot.

Notes

For best results, do not overcrowd the pan to avoid steaming. Flip ingredients halfway through roasting for even crisping. If potatoes cook slower, roast them alone for 10 minutes before adding sausage and softer vegetables. Use fresh vegetables for crispier results. Leftovers reheat best in the oven at 375°F for 10-15 minutes to maintain crispiness.
