Roasted Sausage and Potato Bake 🥔🌭
A hearty, crispy-edged one-pan dinner with juicy sausage, golden potatoes, onions, and peppers tossed in savory herbs and roasted until perfectly caramelized.
🛒 Ingredients
1 ½ lb smoked sausage or kielbasa, sliced into ½-inch pieces
2 lb baby potatoes, halved or quartered
1 medium yellow onion, cut into wedges
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
3 tbsp olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp Italian seasoning
½ tsp dried thyme
½ tsp onion powder
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese, optional
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
👩🍳 Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a large baking sheet or 9×13-inch baking dish.
Prepare the potatoes: Place the potatoes in a large bowl. Add olive oil, garlic, paprika, Italian seasoning, thyme, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
Add the sausage and vegetables: Stir in the sliced sausage, onion, and bell peppers. Toss everything together.
Arrange in the pan: Spread the mixture into an even layer. Avoid overcrowding so the potatoes roast instead of steam.
Roast for 35–45 minutes, stirring once or twice during cooking, until the potatoes are fork-tender and golden brown and the sausage is nicely browned.
Add cheese: If using, sprinkle the cheddar over the top during the final 5 minutes of baking and return to the oven until melted.
Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve hot.
💡 Tips
For extra-crispy potatoes, soak cut potatoes in cold water for 15–20 minutes, then drain and dry thoroughly before seasoning.
Add zucchini, mushrooms, or cherry tomatoes for more vegetables.
For a spicy version, use hot sausage and add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
Serve with a simple green salad or steamed vegetables.
