Summer vegetables with sausage and potatoes

I love food that only gets a pot dirty because while I love to cook, I really don't like cleaning up! You can see all of my one pot recipes here, I even have a one pot cookbook (affil link) devoted to one pot cooking!

This dish is so easy to make but full of fresh flavors! I love using multicolored peppers, so it is also colorful because we eat with our eyes.

You can use Italian chicken or turkey sausage depending on what is available to you in your area. I've tried several brands and I'm really excited about the sweet chicken sausage from Al Fresco or the chicken sausage from Premio. My local health food store and Italian deli also have their own homemade sausage which is wonderful.

Variations

• If rosemary isn't your thing, use fresh thyme instead.
• I used multicolored peppers because I love the color, but you can stick with one color to make it easier.
• Make it vegetarian with vegetarian sausage.
