Why You’ll Love This One-Pan Roasted Sausages with Peppers & Potatoes

There’s something about the simplicity of a sheet pan recipe that makes it irresistible. This dish gives you the perfect excuse to skip the dishes and still serve up something that looks like you spent hours on it. From busy moms to college students, it’s a go-to you’ll want on rotation.

What Kind of Sausage Should I Use?

That really depends on your mood and flavor preferences. Classic pork Italian sausages (sweet or hot) work beautifully here, but feel free to experiment. Smoked sausage adds a deep flavor and holds its shape well, while chicken or turkey sausage makes for a leaner option.

If you’re feeling adventurous, try andouille for a Cajun twist, or bratwurst if you’re leaning toward German-inspired flavors. Just be sure the sausage is uncooked so it has time to roast fully and soak into the potatoes and peppers for maximum flavor.

Ingredients for the One-Pan Roasted Sausages with Peppers & Potatoes

This dish is all about simple ingredients that shine when roasted together. Each component plays a part in layering the flavors, from the richness of the sausage to the sweetness of the roasted peppers.

• Sausages
  Choose your favorite kind—Italian, smoked, chicken, or turkey. They release juices while roasting, which helps flavor everything else on the pan.
• Bell Peppers
  Use a mix of red, yellow, and green for a colorful and sweet contrast to the sausage.
• Yukon Gold Potatoes
  These roast to a golden crisp and have a buttery texture inside, perfect for soaking up all the savory flavors.
• Red Onion
  Adds sweetness and a bit of sharpness, and caramelizes beautifully in the oven.
• Olive Oil
  Helps everything roast evenly and adds a subtle richness.
• Garlic Powder
  Provides a warm, earthy background note to the dish.
• Dried Oregano
  Lends a Mediterranean herby kick that pairs well with sausage.
• Salt & Black Pepper
  Season to your taste to enhance all the natural flavors.

How To Make the One-Pan Roasted Sausages with Peppers & Potatoes

Step 1: Preheat and Prep the Pan

Start by preheating your oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2: Chop and Toss

Cut the potatoes into small chunks and slice the bell peppers and red onion. Add them all to the sheet pan, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss everything right on the pan to coat evenly.

Step 3: Add the Sausages

Nestle the sausages in between the vegetables. If they’re especially thick, you can slice them in half lengthwise for faster cooking and more browning.

Step 4: Roast Until Golden

Bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping the sausages and giving the veggies a stir halfway through. Everything should be golden brown and the sausages fully cooked.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

Let it cool slightly, then serve directly from the pan for a cozy, rustic meal that delivers comfort in every bite.
