Ingredients
Method
- Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a large half-sheet pan (18x13 inches) with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
- Pat the halved baby potatoes dry with a paper towel. Add them to the sheet pan, drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and season with smoked paprika, ¾ teaspoon of the Italian seasoning, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Toss well and spread into a single layer. Roast for 15 minutes.
- While the potatoes roast, combine the sliced bell peppers, red onion wedges, and minced garlic in a bowl. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, ¾ teaspoon Italian seasoning, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Toss to coat.
- Remove the pan from the oven after 15 minutes. Push the potatoes to the outer edges of the pan. Place the sausage links in the center of the pan in a single layer. Scatter the pepper and onion mixture around the sausages and potatoes.
- Return the pan to the oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping the sausages and tossing the vegetables once halfway through at about the 10-12 minute mark.
- Sausages are done when deeply golden and cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F (pork) or 165°F (chicken/poultry sausage). Potatoes should be fork-tender with golden, crispy edges, and peppers should be soft and lightly caramelized.
- Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired, and serve immediately directly from the pan.

Notes
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat on a baking sheet at 375°F for 10-12 minutes for best results, or in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through.
Lighter Swap: For a leaner, lower-fat version, use chicken or turkey sausage links in place of pork Italian sausage. They roast beautifully the same way and keep this meal just as nutritious and satisfying.
Sodium Tip: To keep sodium in check, use low-sodium sausage if available and season with salt at the end rather than before roasting — this way you can taste and control exactly how much goes in.
