🥘Ingredients

Main Ingredients

1 lb (4 links) sweet Italian sausage
1.5 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1-inch chunks
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
1 medium onion, cut into wedges
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat your oven to 425°F.
2Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
3In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato chunks, onion wedges, olive oil, salt, black pepper, oregano, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes if using.
4Toss everything together until the potatoes and onions are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
5Spread the seasoned potatoes and onions in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
6Nestle the Italian sausage links among the vegetables, ensuring they are not overlapping.
7Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
8Then, remove the baking sheet, stir the potatoes and onions gently, and turn the sausage links over with tongs to ensure even browning.
9Return the baking sheet to the oven and continue roasting for another 15 to 20 minutes, until the potatoes are golden and tender when pierced with a fork and the sausages are browned and cooked through (internal temperature of 160°F).
10Remove from the oven and let rest for 2 minutes.
11Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley before serving directly from the baking sheet or transferring to a platter.
