A quick, wholesome, and flavorful sheet pan dinner featuring roasted sausage and a colorful mix of vegetables, perfect for busy weeknights with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb Italian sausage links or patties (can substitute chicken or turkey sausage)
  • 2 medium red bell peppers, sliced
  • 2 medium zucchini, cut into thick rounds
  • 1 large red onion, cut into wedges
  • 1 lb baby potatoes or fingerlings, halved
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash and dry the bell peppers, zucchini, onion, and potatoes. Slice the peppers into strips, cut zucchini into rounds about ½ inch thick, wedge the onion into large pieces, and halve the potatoes.
  3. Slice the sausage into 1-inch pieces if using links, or slice patties into thirds.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the vegetables and sausage pieces. Add olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss everything well until evenly coated.
  5. Spread the mixture evenly on a rimmed sheet pan in a single layer to ensure proper roasting.
  6. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, tossing halfway through with tongs or a spatula. The sausage should be browned and cooked through (internal temp around 160°F / 71°C), potatoes tender, and veggies golden at the edges.
  7. Optional: Broil the pan for the last 2-3 minutes for extra crispiness, watching closely to prevent burning.
  8. Remove from oven and garnish with fresh parsley. Let rest a few minutes before serving.

Notes

If potatoes take longer to cook, parboil them for 5 minutes before roasting to ensure tenderness. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming. Use smoked paprika for a subtle smoky flavor. For extra crispiness, broil for 2-3 minutes at the end. Leftovers reheat best in a skillet or oven to maintain texture. Can substitute sweet potatoes, broccoli, carrots, or other seasonal vegetables. For vegetarian version, swap sausage with plant-based sausage or hearty mushrooms.
