🥔 Sausage and Potato Bake

Serves: 4–6 | Prep Time: 10 min | Cook Time: 40–45 min

🧂 Ingredients:

• 1 lb smoked sausage or kielbasa, sliced into ½-inch rounds

• 1½ lbs baby potatoes (or Yukon Gold), halved or quartered

• 1 bell pepper, sliced (any color)

• 1 red onion, sliced

• 2–3 tbsp olive oil

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1 tsp smoked paprika

• ½ tsp dried thyme or Italian seasoning

• Salt and black pepper, to taste

• Optional: chopped parsley or fresh herbs for garnish

🔪 Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

2. Prep the veggies and sausage:

   • Place sliced potatoes, bell peppers, onion, and sausage in a large bowl.

   • Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper.

   • Toss everything to coat evenly.

3. Spread on baking sheet:

   • Arrange in a single layer (use two sheets if crowded — helps it roast instead of steam).

4. Bake for 40–45 minutes, stirring halfway through, until potatoes are tender and golden, and sausage is browned at the edges.

5. Finish & serve:

   • Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley or grated Parmesan if desired.

   • Serve hot as a standalone meal or with a green salad or crusty bread.

📝 Tips:

• Want extra crisp? Broil for the last 2–3 minutes.

• Swap smoked sausage for Italian sausage, chorizo, or even plant-based sausage.

• Add chopped zucchini, carrots, or broccoli for more veggies.

• Leftovers reheat great in a skillet or air fryer!
