# How-To:

01 - Set the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for roasting.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, toss the halved potatoes, sliced bell peppers, and red onion with olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using until evenly coated.
03 - Spread the seasoned vegetables evenly across a large rimmed baking sheet, then nestle the Italian sausages among the vegetables.
