Roasted Sausages, Peppers, Potatoes, and Onions

Barefoot Beachcomber's Note:

A good easy hearty meal. You could use different veggies or meat. It's the roasting in olive oil that is the secret of this recipe.

We loved this dish. I wanted to make it a little lower in fat, so I only used 2 tablespoons of olive oil which was still plently. I also substituted one package of Boca (meatless) Italian sausages for the pork sausage and baked the sausage and vegetables together for 15 minutes at the end.

Very nice. My DH loved it. We used brats instead of Italian sausages.

This was very tasty. I took Bergy's advice and added the peppers along with the sausages which I browned first. The next time I will wait and add the onions then too. I had to remove the onions halfway through because they were starting to burn. Thanks for a great recipe.
