Preheat oven to 400°F. Cut 14 oz smoked sausage or kielbasa into 1/2-inch coins. Dice 1 lb baby yellow potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes. Slice 2 bell peppers and 1 red onion into 1-inch chunks.
WhyDicing potatoes small (1/2-inch) ensures they roast to tender crispiness in 25 minutes without parboiling.
Season Directly on Parchment
Spread all chopped ingredients onto a parchment-lined sheet pan. Drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp Italian seasoning, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp pepper. Toss with tongs.
WhyParchment paper prevents the browned potato crusts from sticking to the aluminum pan.
Single-Layer Roast
15 minSpread ingredients across the sheet pan in a single flat layer. Roast at 400°F for 15 minutes undisturbed.

10 minFlip and toss ingredients with a spatula. Return to oven for 10 more minutes until potato edges are golden brown and sausage edges are caramelized.
WhyCheck potato doneness with a fork; it should pierce through with zero resistance.
