There’s a nostalgic comfort in a dish like this—it reminds me of Sunday suppers and cozy evenings when the kitchen was alive with conversation and that unmistakable smell of roasted veggies and sausage.

🛒 Ingredients
- 1 lb smoked sausage, sliced into coins
- 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved or quartered
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 1 medium onion, sliced thin
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- Optional: Fresh chopped parsley, for garnish
🔄 Ingredient Swaps & Notes
- Potatoes: Yukon Gold or red potatoes work beautifully. Sweet potatoes can also be used for a sweeter twist.
- Sausage: Andouille, kielbasa, or even turkey sausage can replace smoked sausage.
- Veggies: Add zucchini, mushrooms, or cherry tomatoes for more variety.
- Spice it up: A sprinkle of crushed red pepper or Cajun seasoning gives a nice kick.
👨🍳 How to Make It
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large sheet pan with foil or parchment for easy cleanup.
- In a large bowl, combine potatoes, sausage slices, chopped peppers, and onions.
- Drizzle with olive oil and toss with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Spread evenly on the prepared sheet pan in a single layer—don’t overcrowd!
- Roast in the oven for 35–40 minutes, stirring halfway through, until potatoes are fork-tender and everything is golden brown and slightly crisp.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving hot.
💡 Tips for Success
- Cut ingredients uniformly so they cook evenly.
- Flip halfway through roasting to ensure caramelization on all sides.
- Double the batch on two trays if feeding a crowd—just rotate pans halfway.
- Use pre-cooked sausage to ensure even cooking without drying out.
