Material notes

• baby potatoes: Use red or yellow or a mixture of the two. No need to peel them, just wash and chop them. Regular red or yellow potatoes will work too — just cut them into small, even pieces for quick cooking.
• Smoked Sausage: Use any type of smoked sausage you like. Andouille, kielbasa, or turkey sausage all work well. You can find it in the refrigerated meat section of your grocery store.
• zucchini: Yellow squash or even broccoli can be good alternatives.
• red onion: It adds a subtle sweetness when roasted. If you don't have red onions, yellow or white onions work just as well.
• bell pepper: Any colored bell pepper will work here.
• Olive oil: Extra virgin olive oil works best, but you can substitute with another neutral oil such as avocado or vegetable oil.
• Seasonings: You can adjust the paprika to your heat preference or try adding a pinch of cayenne for a little kick.

baking sheet

For best results, choose a heavy, rimmed 13×18-inch baking sheet. It is often called Baker's Half Sheet. This shape allows sausages and vegetables to roast evenly without trapping steam. A smaller pan, such as a 9×13, can crowd the ingredients, resulting in less crisp vegetables. If your pan is on the small side, it's best to split the ingredients between two pans so they fry thoroughly.
