Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 45 mins
Total Time: 1 hrs
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 medium potatoes, diced
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (carrots, bell peppers, zucchini)
- 1 pound sausage, sliced
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon dried herbs (thyme, rosemary)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Wash and dice the potatoes into uniform 1-inch cubes. Ensure they are roughly the same size to promote even cooking.
- Prepare the mixed vegetables by washing and chopping carrots, bell peppers, and zucchini into similar-sized pieces, approximately 1-inch chunks.
- Slice the sausage into half-inch thick rounds or diagonal cuts for better presentation and even cooking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine diced potatoes, mixed vegetables, and sausage slices.
- Drizzle olive oil over the ingredients. Sprinkle salt, pepper, and dried herbs (thyme and rosemary) evenly. Toss thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well-coated with oil and seasonings.
- Spread the mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure vegetables and sausage are not overcrowded to allow proper roasting and browning.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 40-45 minutes, stirring once halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
- Check for doneness by testing potato tenderness with a fork and ensuring sausage is cooked through with a golden-brown exterior.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows flavors to meld and helps prevent burning.
- Serve hot, optionally garnishing with fresh herbs like chopped parsley for added freshness and color.
Tips
- Cut ingredients uniformly: Ensure all vegetables and potatoes are roughly the same size to promote even cooking and consistent texture.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Leave space between ingredients to allow proper roasting and prevent steaming.
- Use high-quality olive oil and fresh herbs for enhanced flavor profile.
- Stir halfway through cooking to ensure even browning and prevent burning.
- Let the dish rest for 5 minutes after roasting to allow flavors to meld and prevent burning your mouth.
- Experiment with different sausage types like spicy Italian, chicken, or vegetarian alternatives to customize the recipe.
- For extra crispiness, pat vegetables dry before roasting to remove excess moisture.
