Ingredients
To create this delicious meal, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 1 pound of smoked sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 1/2 pounds of baby potatoes, halved
- 1 large red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 large yellow onion, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
If you’re looking to switch things up, consider using sweet potatoes instead of baby potatoes, or add some broccoli florets for extra greens. The beauty of this dish is in its flexibility, much like the cooking style I embraced while helping my abuela in the kitchen.
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to bring this dish to life:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced sausage, halved potatoes, bell pepper, and onion. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until well coated.
- Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Make sure the ingredients are in a single layer to ensure even cooking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and golden brown, and the sausage is nicely crisped. Stir halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
One of my fondest memories is of my mother teaching me to trust my instincts in the kitchen. Remember, you can always adjust the seasoning to suit your taste—it’s all about making it your own!
