Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 1.5 pounds baby potatoes (halved)
- 2 large onions (peeled and cut into wedges)
- 2 red bell peppers (seeded and chopped)
- 6 cloves garlic (minced)
Seasonings & Oil
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
Main
- 12 sweet Italian sausage (pricked with a fork)
- 3/4 cup dry white wine
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for roasting.
- Season vegetables: Place the baby potatoes, onions, red bell peppers, garlic, olive oil, dried thyme, dried basil, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper into a large ziplock bag. Seal the bag securely and shake well to thoroughly coat the vegetables with oil and spices.
- Prepare roasting dish: Transfer the seasoned vegetables evenly into a large roasting dish or rimmed baking sheet, spreading them out to create a single layer for even roasting.
- Coat sausage: Place the sweet Italian sausages into the same ziplock bag used for the vegetables and shake gently to coat them with any remaining olive oil and herbs.
- Arrange sausage: Lay the coated sausages directly on top of the vegetables in the roasting pan, distributing them evenly.
- Initial roast: Place the roasting pan into the preheated oven and roast for 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are golden and crispy around the edges.
- Toss and add wine: Carefully remove the pan from the oven, toss the vegetables and sausages in the cooking juices to mix flavors. Pour the dry white wine over the contents.
- Final roast: Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the sausages are fully cooked through and the potatoes are tender.
- Serve: Remove from oven and serve hot. This dish pairs wonderfully with mustard, fresh bread, or applesauce if desired. Enjoy your flavorful and comforting meal!
Notes
- This recipe is a simple and delicious one-pan meal, making cleanup easy and saving time.

- This dish can be made ahead and reheated, making it great for meal prep or leftover lunches.
- Adjust seasoning to taste, reducing salt if preferred for a lower sodium meal.
