Total time: 40–50 minutes

Ingredients

Protein

6–8 beef or chicken sausages (whole or sliced)

Vegetables (use what you like)

2 medium potatoes (cubed)

1 red bell pepper (chunked)

1 green bell pepper (chunked)

1 red onion (cut into wedges)

1 zucchini (sliced thick)

1 cup broccoli florets

Seasoning

3 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp black pepper

1 tsp salt (adjust to taste)

1/2 tsp chili flakes (optional for heat)

1 tsp dried oregano or mixed herbs

Instructions

Preheat & Prep (10–15 min)

Preheat oven to 200°C (390°F).

Cut all vegetables into similar-sized pieces so they roast evenly. Pat sausages dry for better crisping.

Season Everything

In a large bowl, add potatoes, vegetables, and sausages.

Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle all seasonings.

Toss well until everything is evenly coated.

Arrange on Tray (Important Step)

Spread everything in a single layer on a large baking tray or roasting pan.

Make sure sausages are not stacked on top of vegetables—this helps crisp edges instead of steaming.

Bake (30–35 min)

Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes, then flip/stir everything.

Continue baking for another 10–15 minutes until:

Sausages are browned and cooked through

Potatoes are crispy

Vegetables are lightly charred and tender

Optional Extra Crisp Finish

For extra golden edges, broil/grill for 2–3 minutes at the end.

Serving Ideas

Serve with garlic yogurt dip or mustard sauce

Pair with rice or crusty bread

Add a squeeze of lemon for freshness

Tips for Best Results

Don’t overcrowd the tray (crispy texture depends on space)

Cut potatoes smaller if you want faster cooking

Use smoked paprika for deeper flavor

Chicken sausages cook faster than beef, so adjust timing if needed
