Ingredients needed
This sheet pan sausage and potatoes is a delicious dish that packs a punch of flavor. All you need are some simple ingredients.
Hereโs a bit more about what I used:
- Italian Chicken Sausage: You don’t want to skimp on this! I highly recommend using quality sausage to really get the most flavor out of this dish. You’ll need 8 mild links. You can also swap it out for some spicy sausage if you like things a little bit zestier.
- Bell Peppers: I used red and yellow bell peppers for a pop of color! Feel free to use whatever kind you have on hand. You’ll just need 3 of them.
- Onions: For the sweet taste of caramelized onions, you’ll need two small yellow onions.
- Potatoes: Baby potatoes for the win! I found that they taste the best in this recipe. However, you can use whatever kind of potato that you like – red or Yukon gold would be delicious!
- Olive Oil: You’ll need a 1/4 cup of olive oil to help everything get nice and crispy.
- Garlic: For the perfect amount of garlicky flavor, 4 minced cloves should do the trick. Try to use fresh garlic if possible.
- Salt and pepper: A classic!
- Seasonings: To season the potatoes and veggies, you’ll need dried oregano, basil, and smoked paprika.

How to make sheet pan sausage and potatoes with peppers
Preheat your oven to 400ยฐF and get ready for a savory, delicious meal!
Slice the chicken sausage into discs, cut up the peppers and onions into strips, then halve the baby potatoes.
Place everything on a sheet pan – don’t forget to drizzle olive oil over top before adding minced garlic and the rest of the spices. Toss until it’s all well combined, then spread evenly across the pan before baking in your preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Once the 30 minutes are up, toss it one more time so that everything cooks evenly too, and bake another 20-30 minutes or until both potatoes & peppers are soft.
Now you’re left with something truly mouthwatering – enjoy!
Recipe Tips
Below are some common sheet pan questions. Donโt see the answer youโre looking for? Leave a comment at the bottom of this post!
Can I use any kind of potatoes?
Yes! Personally, I like to use baby yellow potatoes because theyโre small, sweet, and cook quickly. You can also use red or white potatoes, sweet potatoes, or even fingerling potatoes!
What type of sausage works best?
It depends on your preference, but I recommend mild Italian chicken sausage links for this sheet pan recipe. You can also use beef or pork sausage links, turkey sausage, or even veggie sausages if youโre vegan/vegetarian!
What if I don’t like peppers and onions?
Not a problem – you can leave out the peppers & onions and just use the sausage, potatoes, olive oil, garlic, and seasonings. You can also sub in some other veggies in its place, such as mushrooms, zucchini, or squash.
Can I make this sheet pan dinner recipe ahead of time?
Yes! This sheet pan sausage and potatoes recipe can be prepped ahead of time and cooked when youโre ready. Just assemble everything on the sheet pan, cover it with plastic wrap or aluminum foil, then store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days before baking.

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. You can also freeze them for 1-2 months.

This was by far the BEST sausage and peppers recipe I’ve ever had. I think it’s the smoked paprika that takes it to a whole other level. So delicious, thank you for sharing it!

Edward says
I live alone and love to cook but it’s often challenging to adjust measurements to make a recipe for one. I started to make adjustments but decided that as good as it sounded, I simply halved it, figuring leftovers would be great. I did top the dish with a homemade pasta sauce and had crusty Italian bread and a nice Brunello. Delicious.
And I won’t say whether I had leftovers.

Hi Edward, so happy you loved this so much!! ๐
Vincenzo says
This is a great recipe for an Italian family staple dish. I added the potatoes to the sheetpan in step #3 of the instructions along with the sausage, peppers and onions. However, the instructions do not tell you when to add the potatoes to the sheetpan.
I served this dish with Italian bread.
In any case, after enjoying this dish, my family said they thought they died and went to heaven.

This is a STAPLE for my family. Itโs so easy and so good. Way easier than any other sausage and peppers recipe Iโve attempted. I do typically use pork sausage โ either hot or sweet just depending on what I have and it always turns out great.
I forgot the stars the first time I posted this review!!

Allyson says
My family enjoyed this. I used Italian sausage due to personal preference, and I can only get it raw. It was cooked to the correct temp after the first thirty minutes, so I removed it and continued to roast the vegetables for twenty more minutes before mixing back in the sausage. The next time Iโll add the sausage for the second half of cooking.

Sophie says
This is the perfect meal! Iโm a bit slow at my prep (cutting veggies, etc.) so that took me some time but after that, it was great to just sit back and let it cook! Especially since the end result, after just having to let it sit sit in the oven, was unreal. This has become one of my favorite recipes. So much flavor, so easy to make and so delicious.
Plus! We had leftovers so the next day we heated up some tortillas and put the leftovers in tortillas with beans. It was a great repurpose of the dish that also added something new!
