Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound smoked sausage or kielbasa, sliced into ½-inch rounds
  • 2 medium bell peppers, cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 1 large red onion, sliced into wedges
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced into thick half-moons
  • 12 ounces baby potatoes, halved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh parsley (optional), chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Rinse the baby potatoes and halve them. Cut the bell peppers into 1-inch chunks, slice the zucchini into thick half-moons, and peel and wedge the red onion. Place all veggies into a large mixing bowl.
  3. Slice the smoked sausage into ½-inch rounds and add to the bowl with the veggies.
  4. Drizzle 2 tablespoons olive oil over the mixture. Sprinkle minced garlic, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper on top.
  5. Toss everything until evenly coated with oil and seasoning.
  6. Spread the mixture evenly over a rimmed sheet pan lined with parchment paper or lightly greased, ensuring enough space between pieces to avoid crowding.
  7. Roast in the oven for 25 minutes. Halfway through (around 12 minutes), use tongs or a spatula to flip and stir the ingredients for even browning.
  8. Check for doneness: potatoes should be fork-tender and sausage nicely browned with crispy edges. Roast an additional 5 minutes if needed for extra crispiness.
  9. Remove from oven, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top, and serve immediately.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure crispiness. Flip ingredients halfway through roasting for even browning. Use high heat (425°F) for caramelization. Adjust roasting time if using different vegetables or sizes. For gluten-free, ensure sausage is certified gluten-free. Turkey sausage can be used for a lower-fat option. Reheat leftovers in the oven at 375°F for 10 minutes to restore crispiness.
