Oven Roasted Smoked Sausage and Potatoes

Step 3: Season the Vegetables

1. Add the sliced onion and bell pepper to the bowl with the potatoes.
2. Drizzle 3 tablespoons of olive oil over the vegetables.
3. Sprinkle garlic powder, paprika, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
4. Toss everything well so that the vegetables are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.

Step 4: Prepare the Sausages

1. Slice the smoked sausages into 1-inch pieces. You can also leave them whole if you prefer a hearty presentation.
2. Optionally, lightly prick each sausage with a fork to prevent bursting during roasting.

Step 5: Arrange on a Baking Sheet

1. Spread the seasoned potatoes, onions, and bell peppers on a large baking sheet in a single layer.
2. Nestle the sausage pieces among the vegetables to allow flavors to mingle.
3. Make sure nothing is overcrowded; this ensures even roasting.

Step 6: Roast in the Oven

1. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
2. Roast for 25–30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure the potatoes brown evenly.
3. The sausages should develop a nice browned exterior, and the vegetables should be tender.

Step 7: Optional Broil for Extra Crispiness

For an extra golden touch, switch your oven to broil for 2–3 minutes at the end. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.

Step 8: Serve

1. Remove the baking sheet from the oven.
2. Sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.
3. Serve hot as a complete meal or with a side of mustard or dipping sauce for the sausages.
