🥔 Roasted Sausages & Potatoes

🧄 Ingredients

• 1 lb (450g) sausages (pork, chicken, turkey, or veggie — your choice)

• 1 ½ lbs (700g) baby potatoes or russet potatoes, cut into 1-inch chunks

• 1 large onion, sliced (yellow or red)

• 1–2 bell peppers, sliced (optional for color & sweetness)

• 3 tablespoons olive oil

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder (or 3 minced garlic cloves)

• 1 teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning

• ½ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional but adds depth)

• Salt & pepper to taste

• Fresh herbs for garnish (parsley, thyme, or rosemary)

🔪 Instructions

1. Preheat oven:
   Set to 400°F (200°C).

2. Prep ingredients:
   Wash and cut the potatoes. Slice onions and peppers. If sausages are thick, you can prick them with a fork or cut them into large chunks.

3. Season potatoes & veggies:
   In a large bowl, toss potatoes, onions, and peppers with olive oil, garlic, herbs, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

4. Arrange on a baking sheet:
   Spread the seasoned potatoes and veggies on a large baking pan lined with parchment paper. Place sausages on top or nestled between them.

5. Roast:
   Bake for 35–45 minutes, turning halfway through.

   • Potatoes should be golden and crisp.

   • Sausages should be browned and cooked through (internal temp: 160°F/71°C for pork, 165°F/74°C for chicken).

6. Serve:
   Garnish with fresh parsley or rosemary. Serve hot with mustard, ketchup, or a side salad.
