Note to my readers: There are quite a few exciting (and overdue!) posts coming up. Congrats to all of you who finished our 40-Day Fitness Challenge. (I did!) I’ve got some more ideas in my brain…stay tuned for the next challenge!
Also, what an exciting week our family has had…We had an encouraging ultrasound for our pregnancy, and even learned what we’re having! I’ll be sharing some of the sweet lessons the Lord has been showing us.
Thanks for showing me grace (like I asked for!) as I post intermittently during this exciting, tiring, and busy season for our family.
Today I wanted to pass along a simple, easy, and healthy dinner that our family loves. We eat this once every couple weeks, and the kids start asking for it if it’s been a while!
This is one of those dishes that doesn’t sound all that amazing when you read the ingredients, but once made, you can’t stop eating it! It’s very simple, and very easy to make. There are a few secrets, though:
- cut everything in the same-sized pieces.
- make sure it cooks long enough – at least 45 minutes, flipping in the middle
- be sure to salt liberally. It needs a good amount of salt!
Here are the simple ingredients for Sausage, Pepper, and Potato Bake:
- 4 sweet potatoes, peeled and diced in one-inch cubes
- 3 organic white potatoes, diced in one-inch cubes
- 2 colorful peppers, cut in one-inch pieces
- one onion, cut in one-inch pieces (or smaller)
- one package of pre-cooked sausage (I love the Sweet Italian Chicken Sausage from Trader Joe’s, or the Adelle’s chicken sausage).
- salt and pepper
- olive oil
Instructions:
Cut vegetables. For sausage, cut into slices about 1/2 inch thick. Drizzle olive oil onto a rimmed baking sheet, mix ingredients together, and place on pan, drizzling with more olive oil. Everything should be covered lightly with oil. Liberally spice with salt and pepper. Cook for 35-45 minutes at 375 degrees. Check and flip mid-way. Mine always needs more salt post-cooking. Top with ketchup, mustard, or hot sauce (if you’re my hubby) and enjoy.

I am making this tonight!
This recipe is the bomb! I boiled the potatoes for about 4-5 min first, so they’d roast quicker. Then I sprinkled everything with thyme (dried, but not ground). It was awesome!!! Thanks for sharing. Every person at my table ate it. ALL THREE KIDS. AND the hubster. WOW!
Wonderful article! This is the kind of information that are supposed to be shared
across the web. Shame on Google for now noot positioning
this publish upper! Come on over and consult with my web site .
Thnk you =)
Love this recipe! I’ve made it a couple of times now and it’s a big hit in our home. I can only fit about half of it at a time on a baking sheet, though, so I either halve the recipe or save half for a later meal. It’s yummy on its own, and also great with a nice vegetable soup. Thanks so much for sharing!
Love recipe!! It’s on the menu for tonight!!
