A quick and easy 30-minute sheet pan meal featuring crispy sausage and caramelized roasted vegetables, perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Italian sausage links (or smoked sausage/bratwurst)
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 medium zucchini, cut into thick half-moons
  • 1 medium red onion, peeled and cut into wedges
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 2 cups baby potatoes, halved
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: Fresh parsley or basil leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash and chop the bell pepper, zucchini, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and baby potatoes into similar-sized pieces.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the chopped vegetables with olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  5. Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the sheet pan, leaving space for the sausages.
  6. Place the sausages on the pan, spacing them apart to prevent steaming and promote crispiness.
  7. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes. Halfway through, flip the sausages and gently stir the vegetables for even browning.
  8. Switch the oven to broil and broil for an additional 3-5 minutes to crisp the sausage skin and caramelize the vegetables, watching closely to avoid burning.
  9. Check that sausages reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) and that potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
  10. Garnish with fresh parsley or basil leaves before serving.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan to avoid steaming; flip sausages halfway through roasting for even crispiness; broil at the end for best texture; use a kitchen thermometer to ensure sausages reach 160°F internal temperature; can substitute vegetables seasonally; for vegetarian option, swap sausage with meatless sausage or tofu.
