A tray of sausages and vegetables is one of the most reliable dinners for a busy night. The potatoes get a head start so they brown, then the peppers, onion and sausages join them and everything finishes together. The sausages release fat that seasons the vegetables, so you need little extra oil. A splash of balsamic vinegar at the end adds a little sweetness and sharpness. Serve it straight from the pan with mustard.
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 220°C (425°F) and put a large rimmed sheet pan inside to heat while you prep.
- Toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons of the oil, the paprika, oregano, 3/4 teaspoon of the salt and the pepper. Spread them cut side down on the hot pan and roast for 15 minutes.
- Toss the peppers and onion with the remaining oil and salt. Take the pan out, push the potatoes aside and add the vegetables and the sausages.
- Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, turning the sausages and stirring the vegetables once halfway, until the sausages are browned and cooked through to 71°C (160°F) and the potatoes are crisp.
- Scatter the garlic over the pan for the last 5 minutes so it softens without burning.
- Drizzle with the vinegar, sprinkle with parsley and rest for 5 minutes. Serve straight from the pan.
Tips
- Prick the sausages once or twice if they are thin-skinned, but not too much, or they dry out. Use a larger pan if the tray looks crowded.
- Raw chicken or turkey sausages work too, but cook them to 74°C (165°F). For plant-based sausages, follow the package time.
Questions and answers
How do I know the sausages are done?
They should be browned all over and reach 71°C (160°F) in the center. The juices should run clear when you pierce one.
Can I use pre-cooked sausages?
Yes. Add them for the last 15 minutes just to warm and brown, since they are already cooked.
Why are my potatoes not crisp?
The pan may be crowded or the potatoes not cut small enough. Use two pans if needed so the vegetables roast instead of steaming.
