Ingredients

• Baby potatoes: sliced for crispy edges and creamy centers choose small firm potatoes with no green spots
• Fresh green beans: trimmed for a vibrant crunch and color look for beans that snap cleanly when bent
• Yellow onion: sliced thinly infuses sweetness throughout go for a firm onion with tight skin
• Pre-cooked andouille sausage or kielbasa: sliced adds smoky depth pick sausages with minimal fillers for best flavor
• Olive oil: coats everything for even roasting use extra virgin for richness

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit so it is roaring hot for perfect roasting

Mix the Ingredients:

In a large bowl combine sliced baby potatoes trimmed green beans sliced onion and your sliced sausage so everything is ready for the oil and seasonings

Season Generously:

Drizzle olive oil directly over the mix and sprinkle in your garlic powder salt Italian seasoning and black pepper Use your hands to toss until everything is evenly coated and shiny

Arrange for Roasting:

Spread the coated mixture into a single layer on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet Be sure nothing is piled up so everything roasts instead of steaming

Roast to Perfection:

Place the pan in the oven and roast for thirty to forty minutes Halfway through stir everything and flip the ingredients with a spatula This ensures golden edges and even browning by the end

Add a Fresh Finish:

After roasting remove from the oven and scatter chopped fresh parsley over the top for a bright herbal touch Serve piping hot right from the pan

Pin it

I have always loved using andouille sausage here for its smoky kick but sometimes I switch to kielbasa for a milder taste It reminds me of family Sunday meals when we would gather around passing the big baking sheet and vying for the crispiest potato slice

Storage Tips

Leftovers keep beautifully in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days For the best texture reheat on a sheet pan in a hot oven rather than the microwave This way the potatoes and sausage stay crispy

Ingredient Substitutions

You can use chicken apple sausage for a lighter flavor If you have only frozen green beans toss them straight onto the pan without thawing Sweet potatoes work just as well as white potatoes for extra sweetness and color

Serving Suggestions

This dish is a meal on its own but pairs well with a dollop of whole grain mustard or a drizzle of balsamic glaze I sometimes serve it over a spoonful of herbed yogurt sauce for a tangy contrast
