Oven Roasted Sausage Peppers and Potatoes

Ingredients

For the Sausage:

  • 1 pound hot Italian sausage links
  • 0.5 cup + 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, divided
  • 1 pound baby red skinned potatoes cut into 1/4 inch slices
  • 1 pound sweet mini peppers, seeds removed and cut into 1 inch strips
  • 1 medium red onion cut into thin slices
  • 8 garlic cloves cut in half
  • salt and pepper as desired

Directions

Put a large saute` pan over a medium-high flame and heat 1 tablespoon of the oil. Using a fork prick the sausage links all over. Place the links in the saute pan and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer to a plate and slice the links in half. Set aside.

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.

In a large mixing bowl toss together 1/2 cup of the oil, sliced potatoes, peppers, onions and garlic. Season with salt and pepper as desired.

Spread the mixture in a large roasting pan or a 13x18 inch baking sheet. Top with the sausage and roast for 30-40 minutes turning halfway though.
