Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds potato cut into 3/4-inch pieces, Yukon gold variety
- 1 bell pepper cut into small wedges
- 1/2 red onion cut into small wedges
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.

- Spread the potatoes, bell pepper and onion on the baking sheet, then drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables. Season with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, pepper and cayenne powder and toss until evenly coasted. Spread them in an even layer on the sheet.
- Bake 45 to 60 minutes until the vegetables are tender and golden brown on the edges, tossing every 15 minutes for even browning. Serve immediately garnished with fresh parsley or your favorite herbs.
