Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 lb Italian sausage (cut into 1/2-inch thick slices (see notes))
  • 1 lb baby potatoes (cubed)
  • 4 cloves garlic (very finely chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 sweet onion (thickly sliced and cut into 1-inch pieces)
  • 1 red bell pepper (seeded and cut into 1-inch pieces)
  • 1 green bell pepper (seeded and cut into 1-inch pieces)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Parmesan cheese for grating (optional)

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a large, shallow baking pan with parchment.
  • Precook the potatoes by arranging them on a flat plate and microwaving on high for 4 minutes. Alternately, you can roast them in the oven by themselves for 7 to 8 minutes.
  • Whisk the balsamic vinegar, olive oil and garlic together in the bottom of a large mixing bowl. Add the sausage, onion, red pepper, green pepper, and precooked potatoes.
  • Season with a few grinds of black pepper and a pinch of salt, toss to coat with the balsamic vinegar mixture and transfer to the prepared baking pan.Note: Go easy on the salt as the sausage will flavor the potatoes and peppers during cooking.
  • Roast until the sausage is nicely browned and the potatoes and peppers are tender and lightly caramelized, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Turn the mixture once with a spatula about halfway through the cooking time for even browning.
  • Plate individual servings and top with grated cheese if desired.
