Ingredients:

For the sheet pan

• 1 lb smoked sausage or Italian sausage, sliced into rounds
• 2 cups baby potatoes, halved
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
• 1 red onion, cut into wedges
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/2 tsp dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp dried thyme
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional finishing touches

• Fresh parsley, chopped
• Lemon wedges for serving

Step-by-Step Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). A nice hot oven ensures your sausage crisps beautifully and your veggies caramelize to perfection.
2. Prep the vegetables. Wash, chop, and pat dry everything. The drier the veggies, the better they’ll roast — moisture creates steaming, not crisping.
3. Assemble the sheet pan. Scatter the potatoes, peppers, onion, and broccoli across a large baking sheet.
4. Add the sausage. Place the sliced sausage evenly among the vegetables. The sausage releases flavorful oils that help everything roast beautifully.
5. Season generously. Drizzle olive oil over the mixture. Sprinkle garlic powder, smoked paprika, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until well coated.
6. Roast. Place your sheet pan in the oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even browning.
7. Finish and serve. Once the veggies are tender and edges are golden, remove from the oven. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges if desired.
8. Enjoy with rice, crusty bread, or as is! This is a full meal on its own, but it pairs wonderfully with your favorite carbs.
