Roasted Sausages, Peppers, Potatoes, and Onions

Serves approx 4

1 lb. potatoes , peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks (I would recommend 2 lbs of potatoes)

2 green or red bell peppers, cored, seeded and cut into 1-inch pieces

1 medium onion, cut into 1-inch chunks

1/4 cup olive oil

Salt and freshly ground pepper

1 lb. Italian-style pork sausages (I used Johnsonville Mild Italian sausages)

1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.

2. Spread the vegetables in a single layer in one or more large
shallow roasting pans; do not crowd them, or they will not brown.
Drizzle with the oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Stir
well.

3. Roast the vegetables, stirring once or twice, for 45 minutes.

4. Pierce each sausage in two or three places with a fork. (I cut them
in half lengthwise, then in half across the other direction. I did
this to speed up the cooking process since my veggies were already
burning!) Place the sausages on top of the vegetables. Bake for 15 to
30 minutes, or until the sausages and vegetables are cooked through.
Serve hot.
