Ingredients
Sausage and Vegetables
- 1 pound fully cooked smoked sausage, sliced
- 1.5 pounds baby potatoes (red or gold), quartered
- 1 large red bell pepper, cut into strips
- 1 large green bell pepper, cut into strips
- 1 red onion, chopped into large pieces
Seasoning and Sauce
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Prepare a large sheet pan by lining it with aluminum foil and spray it lightly with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Make the Seasoning Mix: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika until fully combined.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, add the sliced smoked sausage, quartered baby potatoes, red and green bell peppers, and chopped red onion. Pour the seasoning mixture over the ingredients and toss everything well to coat evenly.
- Arrange on Sheet Pan: Spread the sausage and vegetable mixture evenly across the prepared sheet pan in a single layer to ensure proper roasting.
- Bake: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, stirring once or twice during cooking to promote even crispness. The dish is done when potatoes are tender and all ingredients are lightly crispy and browned.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm as a complete, flavorful meal straight from the pan.
Notes
- You can use either red or gold baby potatoes based on preference; both roast nicely.
- For extra crispiness, ensure the ingredients are spread out evenly without overcrowding the pan.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven.
- Feel free to swap smoked sausage for kielbasa or another fully cooked sausage variant.
- Adjust seasoning levels to taste, especially salt and paprika.
