Ingredients:
- 1 lb Italian sausages or smoked sausage, sliced into 1-inch rounds
- 2 large bell peppers, de-seeded and cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 medium red onion, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 large zucchini, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 lb baby potatoes, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper
Instructions:
- Preheat the steel. Set your oven to 220°C and slide your empty baking sheet inside. Note: This creates an immediate sear on the ingredients.
- Slice the protein. Cut 1 lb of Italian sausages into 1 inch (2.5 cm) rounds. Listen for the clean snap of the casing.
- Prep the vegetables. Chunk the 2 bell peppers, 1 red onion, 1 zucchini, and 1 lb baby potatoes into uniform 1 inch pieces.
- Mix the aromatics. In a large bowl, toss the sausage and veg with 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp oregano, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper.
- Listen for the sizzle. Carefully pull out the hot pan and dump the mixture on. It should hiss immediately.
- Space them out. Spread everything into a single layer. Note: Overlapping causes steaming instead of roasting.
- First roast phase. Bake for 15 minutes until the edges of the onions start to soften.
- Add the punch. Take the pan out, toss in 3 cloves of minced garlic, and flip everything with your spatula.
- Final roast phase. Return to the oven for 10-15 minutes until the potatoes are fork tender and the sausage is deeply browned.
- Rest and serve. Let the pan sit for 2 minutes before serving to let the juices settle. The visual cues are more important than the timer. You are looking for those charred edges on the peppers — they should look slightly blistered. The zucchini will go from a bright, opaque white to a slightly translucent, golden edged green. If the potatoes aren't sliding off a fork easily, give them another 5 minutes; nobody likes a crunchy potato in a bad way!
