Sheet Pan Sausage with Potatoes & Green Beans
Ingredients:
- 4 sausage links (such as Italian sausage, chicken sausage, or your favorite variety)
- 1 lb (450 g) baby potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes, halved or quartered
- 1 lb (450 g) green beans, trimmed
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp paprika (optional for some smoky flavor)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
- Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the Vegetables:
- Halve or quarter the potatoes if they’re larger. If using baby potatoes, leaving them halved should be fine.
- Trim the ends of the green beans.
- Season the Potatoes:
- In a large bowl, toss the halved potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika (if using), salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat evenly.
- Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a large sheet pan.
- Prepare the Sausage:
- If using sausage links, cut them into 2-3 inch pieces to make them easier to eat and cook evenly.
- Arrange the sausage pieces on the same sheet pan, around the potatoes.
- Roast the Potatoes and Sausage:
- Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes start to soften and the sausage begins to brown. Flip the sausage and potatoes halfway through for even cooking.
- Add the Green Beans:
- While the sausage and potatoes are roasting, toss the green beans with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- After 25-30 minutes, remove the sheet pan from the oven and add the green beans to the pan, spreading them evenly.
- Return the sheet pan to the oven and continue roasting for another 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown, the sausages are cooked through, and the green beans are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Serve:
- Once everything is roasted to perfection, remove from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
- Serve with lemon wedges on the side for a burst of freshness.
Optional Variations:
- Use Different Sausages: Try using different types of sausages, such as spicy chorizo, bratwurst, or even vegetarian sausage for a different flavor profile.
- Add More Veggies: You can also add other vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, or onions to the mix. Just make sure they’re cut to similar sizes so everything cooks evenly.
- Herb Variation: Swap out oregano for thyme, rosemary, or Italian seasoning for a change in flavor.
This sheet pan meal is simple, customizable, and packed with flavor — plus, minimal cleanup afterward! Perfect for a busy weeknight or weekend dinner. Enjoy!
