Ingredients
- 4 Italian sausage links (mild or spicy, depending on your preference)
- 2 cups baby potatoes, halved
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced into strips
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced into strips
- 1 medium red onion, cut into wedges
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for a spicy kick)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, for garnish
- Fresh basil leaves, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Step 2: Prepare the Vegetables
In a large mixing bowl, combine the baby potatoes, cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, and red onion. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with garlic powder, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Step 3: Assemble the Sheet Pan
Spread the seasoned vegetables on the sheet pan. Nestle the Italian sausage links among the vegetables, ensuring they’re evenly spaced for even cooking.
Step 4: Roast
Roast in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, flipping the sausages halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized, and the sausage is fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 160°F/71°C).
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
Remove from the oven and sprinkle the dish with grated Parmesan and fresh basil leaves. Serve directly from the sheet pan for a rustic, family-style meal.
