Oven-Roasted Potatoes and Sausage Bake

Ingredients:

• 1 lb (450g) of sausage (Italian sausage, bratwurst, or your choice)

• 4-5 medium potatoes, diced (Yukon Gold, Russet, or red potatoes work well)

• 1 red bell pepper, sliced

• 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced

• 1 medium onion, sliced

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 2 teaspoons garlic powder

• 1 teaspoon onion powder

• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• Fresh herbs (like rosemary or thyme), optional

• Parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Prepare the sausage: If using large sausages, cut them into bite-sized pieces or slices. If using smaller ones, you can leave them whole or slice them as well.

3. Prepare the vegetables: Dice the potatoes into cubes, and slice the bell peppers and onions into strips.

4. Toss the ingredients together:

   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced potatoes, sausage pieces, bell peppers, and onions.

   • Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until evenly coated.

5. Spread the mixture on a baking sheet: Lay the sausage and vegetable mixture in a single layer on a large baking sheet. For even cooking, try not to overcrowd the pan.

6. Roast in the oven: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 30-40 minutes, flipping everything halfway through. The potatoes should be golden and tender, and the sausage should be nicely browned.

7. Garnish and serve: Once done, remove from the oven, and optionally sprinkle with fresh parsley or herbs of your choice.
