Smoked Sausage and Potato Bake!!!

Step 3: Season the Vegetables

In a large mixing bowl, combine the potatoes, onion, and bell peppers. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything until the vegetables are evenly coated.

Step 4: Add the Sausage

Gently fold in the sliced smoked sausage into the seasoned vegetables. The sausage will release its smoky flavor into the veggies while baking.

Step 5: Arrange on Baking Sheet

Spread the mixture evenly on a large baking sheet or a shallow roasting pan. Make sure the potatoes are in a single layer—this ensures they roast evenly and develop a nice golden color.

Step 6: Roast in the Oven

Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, stirring halfway through. The potatoes should be tender inside and golden brown outside, and the sausage should be lightly crisp on the edges.

Step 7: Optional Cheese Topping

If you love cheesy comfort food, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top during the last 5 minutes of baking. Return the pan to the oven until the cheese melts and becomes bubbly.

Step 8: Garnish and Serve

Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the top for color and freshness. Serve warm and enjoy this hearty, flavorful one-pan meal.

Tips for Success:

• Uniform cutting: Cut potatoes and sausage into even sizes for consistent cooking.
• Crispier potatoes: Spread ingredients in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding the pan.
• Flavor boost: Add a splash of smoked paprika or a pinch of cayenne pepper if you like it spicy.
• Make-ahead: You can prep the vegetables and sausage a day before and store them in an airtight container. Bake fresh when ready.
