How to make Roasted Sausage & Potatoes with Peppers

Begin by pre-cooking the potatoes. They take longer to cook and you don’t want to end up with underdone spuds and charred peppers and sausage. There are two ways to do this:

Microwave: this is my method of choice because it’s the easiest. I toss my cut up potatoes in the microwave for 6 minutes. This ensures that they are a touch soft before putting them in the oven with the rest of the ingredients, and guarantees an even baking time!

Oven: If you don’t have a microwave you can cut up the potatoes, toss them with half of the olive oil, salt and pepper and bake on a greased baking sheet in the oven for 15-20 minutes.

Once the potatoes are precooked, add the rest of the ingredients and continue roasting until the potatoes are crispy and golden brown.

Serve

Serve warm with a salad (like this kale salad or burrata salad), or some fresh homemade bread (no knead bread, pretzel bread, or french bread)!

Store

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave, oven, or on the stovetop.

Roasted Sausage & Potatoes with Peppers: Substitutions

  • Sausage: Use your favorite sausage. I use Aidells Chicken and Apple Sausage because it’s healthy & delicious. We also use it in this sausage gnocchi recipe!
  • Red Potatoes: Any potato variety works here! I love using baby reds, Yukon gold’s and sweet potatoes (paleo).
  • Peppers: Any color bell pepper works great.
  • Garlic Salt: If you don’t keep garlic salt on hand, use 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp garlic powder (and adjust to your tastes if necessary).
  • Olive Oil: I enjoy using flavored olive oil from my favorite store in my hometown! Feel free to substitute any oil of your choosing! I’ve had success with avocado oil as well!

  1. I like to prep ahead before hosting. Can I part bake the potatoes a few hours ahead and then toss them with all the other ingredients just before baking the whole dish?

  2. 5 stars
    Not only was this easy, it created few dishes and was delicious! My hubby doesn’t emote, but he made darn sure I knew he wanted to have this again. Thank you so much for sharing this with us!

  3. I tried 3 of your recipes this week – this, the mandarin orange grilled cheese, and the lettuce wraps. All 3 did not disappoint! I was so happy to have 3 new dinners that are simple to make and taste delicious. Even my husband who doesn’t love chicken was a fan! The sausage in particular was SO great – can’t wait to make it again.

    Please – post more recipes!!

    1. Holly thank you SO much for taking the time to tell me!! I’m so glad you enjoyed them all! And a hubby who doesn’t like chicken?! YIKES I’m sorry lol!
