Ingredients
(Serves 4)
1 lb baby potatoes – halved or quartered (depending on size)
8 oz green beans – washed and trimmed
1 small yellow onion – cut into wedges or slices (about 1 cup)
1 lb pre-cooked andouille sausage or kielbasa – sliced into 1-inch diagonal pieces
¼ cup olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp Italian seasoning blend (oregano, basil, thyme, rosemary)
½ tsp ground black pepper
✅ Optional add-ons:
Sprinkle of red pepper flakes for heat
Grated Parmesan cheese before serving
Fresh parsley or thyme for garnish
Instructions
1. Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
High heat = crispy potatoes and caramelized edges.
2. Prep the Pan
Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil (for easy cleanup).
Spread the potatoes and onions evenly across the pan.
Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with half the salt, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and pepper.
Toss well to coat — use your hands or a spatula.
3. Roast the Potatoes First
Place the pan in the oven and roast for 15 minutes.
✅ Why? Potatoes take longer to cook — this head start ensures they’re tender and golden.
4. Add the Sausage & Green Beans
After 15 minutes, remove the pan from the oven.
Push the potatoes and onions to one side.
Add the sliced sausage and green beans to the pan.
Drizzle with the remaining olive oil and sprinkle with the rest of the seasonings.
Toss everything gently to distribute the oil and spices.
5. Finish Roasting
Return the pan to the oven and roast for 20–25 minutes, stirring once halfway through.
Cook until:
Potatoes are fork-tender and crispy on the edges
Green beans are bright green and slightly blistered
Sausage is browned and heated through
️ Serving Suggestions
Serve hot, straight from the pan.
Garnish with fresh parsley or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
Pair with:
A crisp green salad
Crusty bread
A dollop of Dijon mustard or horseradish sauce (especially with kielbasa)
