Oven-Roasted Sausages with Potatoes and Peppers
Ingredients
| Ingredient | Notes |
|---|---|
| Sausages | Pork, chicken, turkey, or plant-based; Italian-style adds herbs & spice, smoked or mild also work |
| Potatoes | Baby, Yukon Gold, or red; cut evenly for golden outsides and creamy interiors |
| Peppers | Red, yellow, orange for sweetness; green for a touch of bitterness |
| Onions (optional) | Adds depth and natural sweetness |
| Olive oil | Helps browning and prevents sticking |
| Seasonings | Salt, black pepper, garlic, rosemary, thyme, or oregano |
Preparation
- Prep the Vegetables
Wash and dry everything. Cut potatoes into uniform pieces, slice peppers into strips, and cut onions thick enough to hold shape. - Prepare the Sausages
Leave whole for juiciness or cut into large chunks for extra browning. - Combine
Toss sausages, potatoes, peppers, and onions with olive oil and seasonings. Spread evenly on a large baking tray.
Roasting
- Preheat oven to a moderate-high temperature.
- Roast in a single layer—avoid overcrowding to prevent steaming.
- Turn ingredients halfway through for even browning.
As they cook, sausages crisp on the outside while staying juicy inside. Potatoes absorb the savory drippings and turn golden, while peppers soften, caramelize, and add sweetness.

- Finish with freshness: A final sprinkle of salt, pepper, or fresh herbs brightens the dish.
