Step 5: Roast in the Oven
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25–30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even browning. Check the potatoes for tenderness—they should be golden brown on the outside and soft inside.
Step 6: Optional Broil for Extra Crispiness
For extra crispiness, switch the oven to broil for the last 2–3 minutes. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
Step 7: Garnish and Serve
Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Sprinkle fresh parsley over the roasted sausage and potatoes for a pop of color and freshness. Serve hot, straight from the pan, or plate it for a family-style presentation.
Tips for Success
- Uniform Cutting: Cutting vegetables and sausage uniformly ensures even cooking.

- One-Pan Meal: You can add other vegetables like carrots or zucchini for variety.
- Leftovers: This dish keeps well in the fridge for 3–4 days and can be reheated in the oven or skillet.
