Ingredients
1 lb smoked sausage, sliced into rounds
1 lb baby potatoes, halved
2 cups broccoli florets
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and lightly grease or line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
2. Wash and halve the baby potatoes, making sure larger potatoes are cut into smaller bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
3. Slice the smoked sausage into thick rounds and cut the broccoli and bell peppers into evenly sized pieces.
4. Add the potatoes, sausage, broccoli, and bell peppers to a large mixing bowl or directly onto the sheet pan.
5. Drizzle the olive oil over the ingredients and season with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
6. Toss everything thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly coated with oil and seasonings.
7. Spread the sausage and vegetables into a single layer across the sheet pan to ensure proper roasting.
8. Roast in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking for even browning.
9. Remove the pan from the oven once the potatoes are tender and the vegetables are caramelized around the edges.
10. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the hot ingredients and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
For crispier potatoes, preheat the sheet pan in the oven before adding the ingredients.
Avoid overcrowding the pan so the vegetables roast properly instead of steaming.
Add softer vegetables like zucchini during the final 10 minutes of cooking to prevent overcooking.
