#1,080: Roasted (sweet) potatoes, Chicken sausage and Peppers


This is such an easy lunch or dinner to make. Like ridiculously easy!  Chop, toss with olive oil and roast.  Done.  This is my kind of meal.  Oh and you can pretty much use any veggies you have on hand or like.  Next time I'm adding in some broccoli too.  I ate this for three days for lunch...loved it!


1 1/2 pounds of new potatoes  (I used sweet potato)
1 medium onion, chopped into large quarters and separated.
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1 inch pieces
3 teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil
kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste
1 teaspoon of fresh thyme
1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
1 pound of Italian chicken sausage, with each link cut into 7 - 8 pieces

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees, F. Spray a baking sheet with either olive oil spray or canola oil and set aside.

Cut the potatoes into 1" pieces.  In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, onions, peppers, olive oil, salt, pepper, thyme, smoked paprika and garlic powder. Make sure everything is coated evenly.

Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and place in the oven. Bake for 15 minutes, tossing occasionally to make sure nothing sticks. After 15 minutes, add the sausage to the baking sheet and toss with the potatoes and vegetables.

Let the mixture continue to bake for 30 minutes and toss the mixture every 10 minutes or so to ensure that nothing burns. Make sure the potatoes are cooked through and serve.
