Season the Potatoes:

In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

Add Peppers (and Onion):

After 25 minutes, add the sliced bell peppers (and red onion, if using) to the sheet pan. Toss everything gently and return to the oven for another 15–20 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden and tender and the peppers are soft and slightly charred.

Notes
-
For crispier potatoes, soak the cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes, drain, and pat dry before roasting.
-
You can swap the bell peppers for zucchini, eggplant, or cherry tomatoes for variety.
-
For extra flavor, sprinkle with a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes before serving.
