Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 to 6 links Italian sausage or bratwurst (about 1 pound / 450g)
  • 3 medium Yukon Gold or red potatoes, cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 2 large bell peppers (red, yellow, or orange), sliced into strips
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons
  • 1 medium red onion, cut into wedges
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes
  • Optional: fresh lemon juice for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash and chop potatoes into 1-inch chunks, slice bell peppers into strips, cut zucchini into half-moons, and wedge the red onion. Place all veggies in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Add olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Toss everything thoroughly to coat the vegetables evenly.
  4. Arrange the vegetables on a large rimmed sheet pan in a single layer, leaving space between pieces to ensure roasting instead of steaming.
  5. Place the sausages on top or nestled among the vegetables so the sausage juices flavor the veggies as they cook.
  6. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes. Halfway through (around 15 minutes), use tongs to flip the sausages and stir the vegetables for even cooking and browning.
  7. Check for doneness: sausages should be golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature about 160°F/71°C), and vegetables tender with crispy edges.
  8. Optional: Squeeze fresh lemon juice over everything before serving.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure crispy edges. Cut vegetables uniformly for even cooking. Flip sausages and stir vegetables halfway through roasting for best results. Use fresh raw sausages for optimal crispiness and juiciness. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheat best in the oven or skillet to maintain texture. Optional lemon juice adds brightness before serving.
