Ingredients You’ll Need for One Pan Sausage, Green Beans, and Potatoes

1 lb smoked sausage (beef, sliced into rounds)
1 lb baby potatoes (halved or quartered if large)
12 oz fresh green beans (trimmed)
3 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp dried parsley
Salt and pepper (to taste)
Optional: ¼ tsp red pepper flakes (for heat)
Optional garnish: fresh parsley or grated Parmesan

Let’s Make It Together

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
In a large bowl, toss together the sliced sausage, potatoes, and fresh green beans with olive oil. Sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. If you like a little heat, add the optional red pepper flakes here!
Spread the mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet, making sure everything is in a single layer for even roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes are tender and the green beans are slightly crispy.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley or a sprinkle of grated Parmesan if desired. Enjoy every comforting bite!

Fun Ways to Customize It

Zesty Lemon Addition: Squeeze some fresh lemon juice over the dish right before serving for a zesty finish—it’s bright and refreshing!
Herb Variation: Swap in fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme for a more aromatic version—nothing beats the smell of fresh herbs roasting in the oven.
Change Up the Veggies: Try adding bell peppers, zucchini, or even carrots for a different twist on the classic. Each veggie brings its unique character to the dish!
Creamy Twist: Drizzle a bit of ranch or a creamy garlic sauce over the finished dish for a rich, indulgent flavor.

Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips

Make-Ahead: You can prepare the sausage, potatoes, and green beans a few hours ahead of time. Just keep everything refrigerated until you’re ready to roast!
Ingredient Swaps: Don’t have fresh green beans? Frozen ones work just as well! Just thaw them before adding, and they’ll cook perfectly in the oven.
Cut Evenly: For even cooking, make sure your potato pieces are similar in size. This way, they will roast evenly and avoid having some pieces undercooked.
Storage Suggestions: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just reheat gently in the oven for the best results!
