A quick and easy sheet pan dinner featuring Italian sausage and a medley of roasted vegetables, delivering crispy, savory flavors in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Italian sausage links (sweet or spicy)
  • 2 red bell peppers, sliced into strips
  • 2 yellow bell peppers, sliced
  • 1 pound baby Yukon gold potatoes, halved
  • 1 red onion, cut into wedges
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced thick
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, toss the halved baby Yukon gold potatoes, sliced red and yellow bell peppers, red onion wedges, and zucchini slices with 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Arrange the veggies on a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer, leaving space in the center for the sausage.
  4. Place the Italian sausage links in the center of the pan. If using thicker sausage, poke a few tiny holes with a fork to help release steam and avoid bursting.
  5. Transfer the sheet pan to the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes. Halfway through (around 12 minutes), use tongs to flip the sausages and stir the vegetables gently to promote even browning.
  6. Check for doneness: sausage should reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) and vegetables should be tender with golden, crispy edges. If potatoes aren’t tender, roast for an additional 5 minutes.
  7. Remove from oven and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley. Let the sausage rest a few minutes before slicing.
  8. Serve hot straight from the pan or plated with your favorite sides.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan to avoid steaming the vegetables. Flip sausages and stir vegetables halfway through cooking for even crispiness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure sausage reaches 160°F internal temperature. For quicker-cooking veggies like cherry tomatoes, add them in the last 10 minutes. Oven reheating is preferred over microwave to maintain crispiness.
