Ingredients
Scale
Sausages
- 6 raw sausages (Italian, chicken, bratwurst, or preferred variety)
Vegetables and Herbs
- 1.5 pounds baby potatoes
- 2 bell peppers, sliced (red and yellow recommended)
- 1 large red onion, sliced into wedges
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
Seasonings and Oil
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it reaches the optimal temperature for roasting the sausages and vegetables evenly.
- Prepare Potatoes: Wash and dry the baby potatoes thoroughly. Halve any larger potatoes to promote even cooking during roasting.
- Slice Vegetables: Cut the bell peppers into thick strips and slice the red onion into wedges to provide distinct texture and flavor in the dish.
- Season Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the potatoes, bell peppers, and onion with olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme leaves, salt, black pepper, and optional crushed red pepper flakes. Toss well to coat all pieces evenly.
- Arrange on Sheet Pan: Spread the seasoned vegetables evenly on a large sheet pan to allow for proper roasting and browning.
- Add Sausages: Nestle the raw sausages on top of the vegetables, spacing them apart to ensure they brown nicely and cook through.
- Roast: Place the sheet pan in the oven and roast for 35 to 40 minutes. Halfway through cooking, turn the sausages and stir the vegetables to promote even cooking and browning.
- Check Doneness: Verify sausages are browned and fully cooked; sausages should reach an internal temperature of 160°F for pork or 165°F for chicken for safety.
- Serve: Remove from the oven, optionally garnish with extra fresh herbs, and serve the dish hot for a delicious, comforting meal.
Notes
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure sausages are safely cooked.
- Feel free to swap vegetables based on seasonal availability.
- Adjust crushed red pepper flakes to your preferred spice level or omit for milder flavor.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and gently reheated in the oven or microwave.
- For gluten-free preparation, confirm sausages do not contain any gluten additives.
