What Kind of Sausage Should I Use?

You can use any sausage variety you love! Italian sausage (sweet or hot) works beautifully here, but smoked, bratwurst, chicken sausage, or even spicy andouille can elevate the dish with a unique twist. Just avoid pre-cooked sausages, since you want the meat to roast and render fat into the potatoes and vegetables.

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

Sausages: Choose high-quality raw sausages that release flavor as they roast. This becomes the base of the dish’s flavor.

Baby Potatoes: These roast up beautifully with crisp skins and soft centers. Yellow or red potatoes work well.

Bell Peppers: Red and yellow peppers add sweetness and vibrant color. They’re the perfect contrast to the hearty sausage.

Red Onion: Adds mellow sharpness and caramelizes into a sweet, tender bite.

Olive Oil: Helps everything crisp up while preventing sticking. Use a generous drizzle.

Garlic Cloves: Roasted garlic mellows and infuses the whole tray with warm, savory notes.

Fresh Rosemary & Thyme: These herbs infuse the dish with earthiness and aroma. Don’t skip them!

Salt & Black Pepper: Simple but essential for seasoning every layer of the dish.

Crushed Red Pepper (optional): If you like a little heat, this adds a spicy finish.

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

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) so it’s hot and ready. A higher temperature ensures crispy edges and thorough roasting.

---

Step 2: Prep the Vegetables

Wash and dry the baby potatoes, then slice larger ones in half for even cooking. Cut bell peppers into thick strips and slice the red onion into wedges. Toss all the veggies with olive oil, salt, pepper, minced garlic, and herbs.

---

Step 3: Assemble the Tray

Spread the seasoned vegetables onto a large sheet pan. Nestle the sausages on top so they roast and release juices into the vegetables. Give everything enough space to caramelize.

---

Step 4: Roast Everything Together

Roast in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, turning the sausages and stirring the vegetables halfway through. The sausages should be deeply browned and cooked through, and the potatoes fork-tender.

---

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

Once golden and roasted to perfection, remove from the oven. Garnish with extra fresh herbs if desired, and serve hot straight from the tray. Crusty bread or a simple salad pairs beautifully on the side.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of potatoes work best?

Baby yellow or red potatoes are ideal for roasting because they hold their shape and get beautifully crisp. If using larger potatoes, cut them into bite-sized chunks.

Can I make this ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can prep the veggies and sausages ahead, store them in the fridge, and pop the tray into the oven when you’re ready to roast.

Is it okay to use frozen sausages?

It’s best to thaw sausages first to ensure even cooking. Roasting frozen sausages may result in uneven doneness and watery vegetables.

How do I keep everything from sticking?

Use enough olive oil to coat the pan or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Can I add other vegetables?

Definitely! Zucchini, carrots, mushrooms, or cherry tomatoes all work well—just adjust their size so they cook evenly with the potatoes and sausages.

How do I know when the sausages are fully cooked?

They should reach an internal temp of 160°F for pork or beef and 165°F for chicken. They’ll also be nicely browned and firm to the touch.
