Ingredients
  

1 pound Italian sausage (choose between sweet or spicy based on preference)

1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved or quartered depending on their size

1 red bell pepper, sliced into strips

1 green bell pepper, sliced into strips

1 medium red onion, diced

4 cloves garlic, minced

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried thyme

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Lemon wedges, for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper to facilitate easy cleanup once the dish is ready.

    Prepare the Sausages: If you’re using whole sausages, slice them into thick chunks for better distribution and flavor; alternatively, you can keep sausage links intact if you prefer.

      Prepare the Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved baby potatoes, sliced red and green bell peppers, diced red onion, and minced garlic to create a colorful and flavorful base.

        Seasoning the Mixture: Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetable medley. Then, sprinkle in the smoked paprika, dried oregano, dried thyme, along with salt and pepper to taste. Toss everything together thoroughly until the vegetables are well coated with the oil and seasonings, ensuring each piece shines with flavor.

          Combine Ingredients: Gently fold the sausage pieces into the seasoned vegetable mixture, taking care to distribute the sausage evenly throughout the veggies.

            Spread on Sheet Pan: Transfer the combined sausage and vegetable mix onto the prepared baking sheet. Spread it out evenly in a single layer to promote even roasting.

              Bake: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes. Stir the mixture halfway through to ensure even cooking, allowing the potatoes to become golden brown and tender while the sausages develop a deliciously browned finish.

                Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove the baking sheet from the oven. If desired, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top for a burst of color and freshness. Serve hot, accompanied by lemon wedges on the side for a delightful squeeze of citrus.
