Posted Mar 16, 2017, Updated Jul 08, 2024 If you’re looking for an easy & delicious dinner – try this sausage and peppers and potatoes recipe. The sausage is a great source of protein and flavor. Then, the bell peppers add nutrients and the potatoes make it nice and hearty! A complete meal made on one sheet pan that is large enough to feed your entire family! We love to serve it over rice or noodles with a drizzle of balsamic and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese! Or you can serve it with a delicious salad, or homemade french bread.
Sausage & Potatoes with Peppers: Substitutions
Sausage: Use your favorite sausage. I love using Italian chicken sausage. 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 Powder: you can substitute 1 Tablespoon fresh minced garlic for the powder. Olive Oil: avocado oil is a good substitute.
How to Make Sausage & Potatoes & 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.
