How to Make One Pan Sausage, Green Beans, and Potatoes

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
In a large bowl, toss together halved baby potatoes, fresh green beans, and sliced smoked sausage with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried parsley, salt, and pepper. Add red pepper flakes if you desire some heat.
Spread the mixture evenly across the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Roast in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes are tender and golden, and the green beans are slightly crispy.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley or Parmesan if desired.

Delicious Variations to Try

Add Zesty Citrus: Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the dish right before serving for a refreshing zest that brightens the flavors.
Veggie Medley: Mix in other seasonal vegetables like bell peppers or carrots for added color and nutrition.
Herb Infusion: Swap the dried parsley with fresh herbs such as rosemary or thyme for a garden-fresh twist.
Cheesy Delight: Sprinkle some shredded cheese on top during the last few minutes of roasting for an indulgent, melty finish.
