Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Italian sausage links (mild or sweet, spicy optional)
  • 3 medium bell peppers (red, yellow, green), sliced into strips
  • 1.5 pounds russet potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 large yellow onion, sliced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) with rack in the middle position.
  2. Wash and cube potatoes into 1-inch pieces. Dry thoroughly with a kitchen towel.
  3. Slice bell peppers into ½ inch wide strips and slice the onion similarly.
  4. In a large bowl, toss potatoes, peppers, onion, and minced garlic with olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  5. Spread the veggies in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet, ensuring they are not crowded.
  6. Place sausage links evenly on top of the veggies without pricking them.
  7. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes. Halfway through, turn sausages with tongs and stir veggies for even browning.
  8. Check potatoes for tenderness with a fork; if needed, roast an additional 10 minutes until golden and crisp.
  9. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to settle.
  10. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and sprinkle red pepper flakes if desired before serving.

Notes

Dry potatoes thoroughly before roasting for best crispiness. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming. Use sausages with natural casings for better crisp. Let the dish rest after baking to allow juices to redistribute. For gluten-free, verify sausage ingredients. Reheat leftovers in a skillet to restore crispness.
