Ingredients

• 6 pieces sausages (pork or chicken)
• 1.5 pounds baby potatoes
• 3 whole carrots
• 1 whole red bell pepper
• 1 large yellow onion
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic
• 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 3

Scrub the baby potatoes clean and cut them into halves or quarters, depending on their size.

Step 4

Peel the carrots and slice them into 1-inch pieces. Cut the red bell pepper into thin strips, and peel and slice the onion into wedges.

Step 5

Place the prepared vegetables on the baking sheet, including the potatoes, carrots, bell pepper, and onion.

Step 6

Finely mince the garlic and sprinkle it over the vegetables.

Step 7

Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables and toss them well to ensure everything is evenly coated.

Step 8

Sprinkle the paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper over the vegetables. Toss again to distribute the seasonings.

Step 9

Nestle the sausages on top of the seasoned vegetables. Lay the sprigs of fresh rosemary across the baking sheet for added flavor.

Step 10

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, turning the sausages halfway through so they brown evenly.

Step 11

After 35 minutes, check the sausages for doneness (internal temperature should reach 160°F/71°C) and confirm the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 12

If the sausages aren't browned enough, place the baking sheet under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, watching closely.

Step 13

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the bake to rest for 5 minutes.

Step 14

Serve the sausages and roasted vegetables straight from the pan for a rustic family-style meal. Enjoy!
