Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1 lb baby potatoes (red or Yukon), halved or quartered if large
  • 12–16 oz fresh green beans, trimmed and washed
  • 1 lb pre-cooked smoked sausage or kielbasa, cut into 1-inch slices See notes for using raw sausage
  • 1 small yellow onion, cut into wedges
Seasonings and oil
  • 3 tbsp olive oil (or avocado oil)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika (or regular paprika)
  • 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning (or thyme + rosemary mix)
  • 1 tsp kosher salt Adjust to taste
  • 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Optional additions
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard or honey for a glaze Optional
  • to taste chopped parsley or sliced green onions for garnish Optional
  • 1 squeeze lemon before serving Optional

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil or parchment for easy cleanup.
  2. (If using raw sausage) Brown sausages first: heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and brown sausages 2–3 minutes per side until golden. Transfer to the baking sheet. If using pre-cooked sausage, just slice and add to the sheet.
Mixing and roasting
  1. In a large bowl, combine potatoes, green beans, onion, and sausage slices. Drizzle in olive oil.
  2. Add garlic powder, smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss well so everything is evenly coated. If using Dijon or honey, drizzle it on and toss lightly.
  3. Spread mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet — give space so veggies roast instead of steam. Use two sheets if crowded.
  4. Roast at 400°F for 25–30 minutes, stirring once at about 15 minutes. Potatoes should be fork-tender and slightly golden; edges of green beans should be blistered.
  5. If you prefer crispier edges, broil for 2–3 minutes at the end, watching closely to avoid burning.
  6. Remove from oven, squeeze a little lemon over everything, and sprinkle with chopped parsley or green onions. Serve warm straight from the pan.

Notes

Make it low-carb by swapping potatoes for chopped cauliflower florets or radishes. For gluten-free, check sausage labels. Vegan options include smoked tofu or tempeh instead of sausage. For extra color, add cherry tomatoes during roasting.
