Ingredients

  • Baby potatoes – 1 lb, halved or quartered

  • Green beans – 8 oz, washed & trimmed

  • Yellow onion – 1 small (about 1 cup), cut into wedges or slices

  • Pre-cooked andouille sausage or kielbasa – 1 lb, sliced into 1-inch pieces

  • Olive oil – ¼ cup

  • Garlic powder – 1 tsp

  • Salt – 1 tsp

  • Italian seasoning – 1 tsp

  • Black pepper – ½ tsp

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven:
    Set to 400°F (200°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

  2. Prep the ingredients:
    Halve or quarter baby potatoes for even roasting. Slice sausage on the bias (angled cuts) into 1-inch pieces.

  3. Season everything:
    In a large bowl, toss potatoes, green beans, onion, and sausage with olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

  4. Arrange on the pan:
    Spread mixture in a single layer on the sheet pan. Place potatoes cut-side down for crispier edges.

  5. Bake:
    Roast for 35–40 minutes, stirring halfway through, until potatoes are tender and slightly golden.

  6. Serve:
    Remove from the oven and serve hot.

Quick Notes & Pro Tips

  • Par-cook potatoes: If you like extra crispy edges, microwave or boil potatoes for 5 minutes before roasting.

  • Add a kick: Sprinkle with crushed red pepper or drizzle with hot sauce before serving.

  • Mix up the veggies: Swap in bell peppers, carrots, or broccoli for variety.

FAQs

Q: Can I use raw sausage instead of pre-cooked?
A: Yes, but add 5–10 minutes to the cook time and ensure the sausage reaches a safe internal temperature (160°F for pork).

Q: Can I make this ahead of time?
A: Absolutely! Prep everything in the morning, cover, and refrigerate. Roast when ready.

Q: Can I double the recipe?
A: Yes — use two sheet pans to avoid overcrowding, which can prevent proper roasting.
