- 1 onion
Seasonings and Herbs:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the oven to reach a toasty 400°F (200°C), creating an ideal roasting environment for a hearty meal.
- Transform sausage and potatoes into uniform bite-sized morsels, while delicately slicing bell peppers and onions into complementary shapes.
- Lavish potatoes with a harmonious blend of olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated with seasoning.
- Arrange seasoned potatoes across a spacious baking sheet, allowing each piece ample room to crisp and roast perfectly for 20 minutes.
- Strategically distribute sausage, bell peppers, and onions alongside the partially roasted potatoes, creating a colorful and flavorful ensemble.
- Continue roasting the combined ingredients for an additional 20-25 minutes, monitoring until the sausage develops a rich, golden-brown exterior and potatoes achieve a satisfying crispness.
- Elevate the dish’s visual appeal and freshness by scattering vibrant, chopped parsley across the top moments before serving piping hot.
Notes
- Choose high-quality smoked sausage for deeper flavor complexity and juicier results.
- Ensure potato pieces are uniform in size to guarantee even cooking and crispy exterior.
- Cut vegetables slightly larger than potatoes to prevent burning and maintain texture during roasting.
- Swap pork sausage with chicken or turkey sausage for a leaner protein option without sacrificing taste.
