Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C).
Line a large baking sheet or a roasting pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Wash and scrub the potatoes. Cut them into small 1-inch cubes and place them into a large mixing bowl.
De-seed the red bell pepper and slice it into thin strips. Add it to the bowl with the potatoes.
Peel and slice the onion into thick wedges. Add to the bowl with the vegetables.
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them. Add the garlic to the vegetable mixture.
Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables and sprinkle them with oregano, thyme, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until evenly coated.
Spread the vegetable mixture evenly across the prepared baking sheet or roasting pan.
Nestle the sausages on top of the vegetable mixture, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes, flipping the sausages halfway through for even cooking.
Check the sausages and vegetables after 45 minutes. The sausages should be golden-brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 160Β°F/71Β°C), and the potatoes should be fork-tender. If needed, bake for an additional 5β10 minutes.
Once done, remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Sprinkle the baked sausages and vegetables with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve hot with a crusty loaf of bread or a side salad for a perfect meal.
