Print Recipe

A no-fuss, textured breakfast bake featuring crispy sausage and caramelized roasted vegetables, perfect for busy mornings or lazy brunches.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound breakfast sausage (links or loose, preferably mildly spiced pork sausage; chicken or turkey sausage also work)
  • 1 large red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons
  • 1 small red onion, cut into wedges
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 cups baby potatoes, halved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
  • Optional: chopped parsley or thyme for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. If using sausage links, slice into 1-inch pieces; if loose sausage, break into bite-sized chunks.
  3. Chop the vegetables uniformly: bell pepper into 1-inch pieces, zucchini into ¼-inch thick half-moons, wedge the red onion, halve the cherry tomatoes, and halve the baby potatoes.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine sausage and vegetables. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Toss until evenly coated.
  5. Spread the mixture in a single layer on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet (about 12×17 inches). Avoid overcrowding.
  6. Bake for 20 minutes.
  7. Use tongs to flip the sausage pieces and gently stir the veggies.
  8. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until sausage is browned and potatoes are tender.
  9. Optional: garnish with fresh chopped parsley or thyme before serving.

Notes

Use high heat (425°F) for crispy edges. Cut vegetables uniformly and avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent sogginess. Flip halfway through baking for even crisping. Choose sausage with good fat content for best texture. Optional red pepper flakes add subtle heat. For vegetarian version, substitute sausage with firm tofu or plant-based sausage and increase seasoning.
