Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs Italian sausage links (mild or hot)
  • 2 lbs russet potatoes (about 3-4 large), scrubbed and cut into 1-inch wedges
  • 1 large red bell pepper, sliced into strips
  • 1 large yellow onion, sliced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • Fresh parsley or basil, chopped (for garnish)
  • Grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  2. In a large bowl, toss potato wedges, bell pepper, and onion with olive oil, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Spread the seasoned potatoes and vegetables on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Nestle the Italian sausage links among them.
  4. Roast for 35-40 minutes. Halfway through, flip the sausage links and stir the potatoes and veggies for even browning.
  5. Remove from oven when sausage is cooked through (internal temperature 160°F) and potatoes are golden and tender. Let rest 5 minutes.
  6. Garnish with fresh herbs and optional Parmesan cheese before serving.

Notes

Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming. For crispier results, ensure oven is fully preheated. Recipe scales easily; use two pans if doubling.
