Sausage
- 14 oz kielbasa, sliced into 1-inch pieces
Vegetables
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into 2-inch pieces
- 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 2-inch pieces
- 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
Seasoning & Garnish
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp freshly shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp fresh chopped parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup and prevent sticking.
- Prepare Ingredients: Cut the kielbasa into bite-sized slices and chop the broccoli florets, red and yellow bell peppers into 2-inch pieces. Halve the baby potatoes to ensure even roasting and faster cooking.
- Make Seasoning Mix: In a large bowl, combine the olive oil with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper, stirring to create a fragrant seasoning blend.
- Toss Ingredients: Add the chopped veggies and kielbasa to the bowl and toss thoroughly to coat everything evenly with the seasoning mixture.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the sausage and vegetables out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring pieces are separated for even roasting.
- First Bake: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes to start softening the potatoes and veggies.
- Toss and Continue Baking: Remove the pan, toss the ingredients gently to promote even cooking, then return to the oven and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes until potatoes and vegetables are tender and slightly browned.
- Finish and Serve: Take the pan out of the oven, sprinkle freshly shredded Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley over the top, then serve the dish warm for a hearty, nourishing meal.
Notes
- You can swap kielbasa with any smoked sausage of your choice or use chicken sausage for a leaner option.
- For extra crispiness, broil the sheet pan for the last 2 minutes but watch carefully to prevent burning.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like zucchini or carrots depending on seasonality and preference.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven to retain crispiness.
- Make sure to cut vegetables uniformly for even cooking.
