A quick and easy one-pan meal featuring crispy Italian sausage and caramelized roasted vegetables, perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Italian sausage links (sweet or spicy)
  • 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
  • 2 medium bell peppers, mixed colors, sliced
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced into rounds
  • 1 large red onion, cut into wedges
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash and halve the baby potatoes, slice the bell peppers and zucchini into rounds, and cut the red onion into wedges. Mince the garlic cloves.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the potatoes, bell peppers, zucchini, red onion, and garlic. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with dried Italian herbs, salt, and black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
  4. Spread the vegetables out evenly on a large rimmed baking sheet, leaving space for the sausage links.
  5. Place the Italian sausage links on the baking sheet among the veggies, ensuring they are not crowded.
  6. Bake for 25 minutes. At the halfway point (12-13 minutes), flip the sausages and stir the vegetables for even cooking.
  7. Check that the sausage is browned and cooked through (internal temperature 160°F/71°C) and that the vegetables are tender and caramelized.
  8. Optional: For extra crispy vegetables, roast for an additional 5 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
  9. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice sausages if desired and serve with roasted vegetables.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure vegetables roast instead of steam. Use high heat (425°F) for crispy sausage skin and caramelized veggies. Flip sausages and stir veggies halfway through cooking for even browning. Pat vegetables dry if washed ahead of time. Parboil potatoes for 5 minutes if you want to reduce cooking time and ensure tenderness. Dark baking pans brown veggies faster, so watch closely to avoid burning. Let sausages rest 5 minutes after roasting for juicier bites.
