Sheet pan dinners are the ultimate weeknight solution. Everything roasts together on one pan—juicy sausages with caramelized vegetables—and cleanup is a breeze.
Italian cooking is built on a foundation of simplicity and quality ingredients. This recipe honors that tradition while being approachable for home cooks of any skill level.
Ingredients
- 4 Italian sausage links
- 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved
- 2 bell peppers, sliced
- 1 red onion, cut into wedges
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp each Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt
Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss potatoes, bell peppers, and onion with olive oil, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt on a large sheet pan.
- 2
Nestle sausage links among the vegetables.
- 3
Spread everything in a single layer—don't overcrowd (use two pans if needed).
- 4
Roast 25-30 minutes, turning sausages halfway, until sausages are cooked through and vegetables are golden.
- 5
Serve directly from the pan with mustard and crusty bread.

Tips & Storage
Pro Tips
Par-boil the potatoes for 5 minutes first for extra-crispy edges.
Add broccolini or zucchini in the last 15 minutes for green vegetables.
Use chicken sausage for a lighter option.
Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For longer storage, freeze individual portions in freezer-safe containers for up to 3 months. Label with the date and recipe name.
Reheating
Reheat in a 350°F oven for 15-20 minutes until warmed through, or microwave individual portions for 2-3 minutes. Add a splash of broth or water to prevent drying. Stovetop reheating over medium-low heat is also effective.
