Ingredients

1 lb (450 g) spicy lamb sausages (loukaniko) (estimated edible portion: 450 g)
1.5 lb (700 g) potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges
1 large red bell pepper (170 g), sliced
1 large yellow bell pepper (170 g), sliced
1 medium red onion (150 g), cut into wedges
3 tbsp (45 ml) olive oil
2 tbsp (30 ml) fresh lemon juice
2 tsp (10 ml) dried oregano
1 tsp (5 ml) smoked paprika
1/2 cup (120 ml) dry white wine (selected option)
Salt and black pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a large bowl, toss the potatoes, red and yellow peppers, and onion with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, the oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
3. Spread the vegetables in a single layer in a rimmed baking sheet or roasting pan. Nestle the lamb sausages among them and brush the sausages with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
4. Pour the wine around the vegetables, avoiding pouring it directly over the sausages. Roast for 35–45 minutes, turning the vegetables once, until the potatoes are tender and the sausages are browned and fully cooked.
5. During the final 5 minutes of roasting, drizzle the lemon juice over the tray and return it to the oven.
6. Remove the tray from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley, slice the sausages if desired, and serve warm.
