Sausage and Potatoes Sheet Pan Dinner is a hearty and flavorful one-pan meal featuring smoky kielbasa sausages, tender roasted baby potatoes, and colorful bell peppers and onions. Tossed in olive oil and Italian seasoning, everything roasts together in the oven to create a comforting, easy dinner with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale

Meats

  • 4-6 smoked sausages (such as kielbasa)

Vegetables

  • pounds baby potatoes (halved or whole if small)
  • 3 medium bell peppers (1 each red, green, and yellow)
  • 2 medium red onions (quartered)

Seasonings & Oils

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley (chopped)


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s properly heated for roasting the sausage and vegetables evenly.
  2. Prepare Vegetables: In a large bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes, sliced bell peppers, and quartered red onions with olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Make sure everything is evenly coated for balanced flavor.
  3. Arrange on Sheet Pan: Spread the seasoned vegetables out on a large sheet pan in a single even layer. Nestle the smoked sausages among the vegetables to allow all ingredients to cook together.
  4. Roast: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and roast for 35-45 minutes. About halfway through cooking, turn the sausages and stir the vegetables to promote even browning and thorough cooking.
  5. Rest and Garnish: Remove the sheet pan from the oven and let the meal rest for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or your choice of fresh herbs before serving for added freshness.
