Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 lb baby red or yellow potatoes halved, or quartered if larger
  • 1 large yellow onion cut into thick wedges
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced into strips, optional
  • 1 green bell pepper sliced into strips, optional
  • 2 tbsp olive oil plus more if needed
  • 1 tsp kosher salt or to taste
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper freshly ground
  • 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder or 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika or sweet paprika, optional
  • 1 lb Italian chicken sausages 4 or 5 links
  • 1 to 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese optional, for serving
  • fresh parsley optional, for serving

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • Halve or quarter the potatoes so the pieces are roughly the same size.
  • Place the potatoes, onion wedges, and bell peppers in a large bowl.
  • Drizzle with olive oil, then add the kosher salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
  • Toss until the vegetables are evenly coated.
  • Spread the vegetables out on the prepared sheet pan in a single layer, using two pans if needed to avoid overcrowding.
  • Nestle the Italian chicken sausage links among the vegetables.
  • Prick each sausage once or twice with the tip of a knife to help prevent bursting.
  • Roast for 25 minutes without opening the oven.
  • Remove the pan, flip the sausages, and stir the vegetables, moving edge pieces toward the center.
  • Return to the oven and roast for another 15–20 minutes, until the potatoes are fork-tender and the sausages reach 165°F internally.
  • Optional: Broil for 2–3 minutes for extra browning, watching carefully.
  • Let everything rest on the pan for 5 minutes before serving.
  • Sprinkle with Parmesan and fresh parsley if desired.
  • Serve the sausages whole or sliced into thick coins.

Notes

Keep the vegetables in a single layer so they roast instead of steam. Use two sheet pans if the pan looks crowded.
