Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound smoked sausage (such as kielbasa or andouille), sliced into ½-inch rounds
  • 1 ½ pounds baby potatoes, halved or quartered
  • 12 ounces fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Fresh lemon wedges (for serving)
  • Grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  2. Wash and dry the baby potatoes, then cut them in half or quarters to about 1-inch pieces. Place in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Drizzle the potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Toss well to coat.
  4. Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 15 minutes.
  5. While the potatoes roast, slice the sausage into ½-inch rounds. Trim the green beans and pat them dry. In the same mixing bowl, combine the sausage and green beans. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, add the minced garlic, and toss to coat. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  6. After 15 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Flip the potatoes with tongs. Scatter the sausage and green beans around the potatoes in an even layer.
  7. Return the pan to the oven and roast for another 15-20 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and golden, the sausage is caramelized, and the green beans are blistered. Stir halfway through.
  8. Remove from the oven. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and squeeze lemon juice over the top. Let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.

Notes

For best results, don’t overcrowd the pan. Cut potatoes evenly for uniform cooking. Pat green beans dry to prevent steaming. Use high heat (425°F) for crispiness. Add garlic with sausage and green beans to avoid burning. Leftovers keep in the fridge for up to 4 days; reheat in a 375°F oven for 8-10 minutes or in an air fryer at 350°F for 4-5 minutes.
