Ingredients
1 lb smoked sausage or kielbasa, sliced into rounds
1 lb baby potatoes, halved (or quartered if larger)
12 oz fresh green beans, trimmed
3 tbsp olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
1. Prep the Ingredients:
● Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and halve the potatoes.
● Trim the ends of the green beans. (Tip: If you’re short on time, use pre-washed, pre-trimmed green beans.)
2. Season the Potatoes:
● In a large mixing bowl, toss the potatoes with 2 tbsp olive oil, smoked paprika, thyme, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Spread them evenly on a large baking sheet.
3. Roast the Potatoes:
● Roast the potatoes in the oven for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through.
● This gives them a nice head start so they’re perfectly tender later.
4. Prepare the Sausage and Beans:
● While the potatoes roast, heat the remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
● Add the sausage and cook until it’s browned on both sides, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
● In the same skillet, sauté the garlic for about 30 seconds, then toss in the green beans.
● Cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened. (Tip: This step helps the beans stay vibrant and flavorful in the casserole.)
5. Combine and Bake:
● Remove the potatoes from the oven. Add the sausage and green beans to the baking sheet, tossing everything together gently.
● Roast for another 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the green beans are cooked through.
6. Garnish and Serve:
● Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving. Serve warm, straight from the baking sheet, for a rustic, no-fuss meal.
Tips for Success
● Smoked Sausage: Choose a sausage with bold flavors, like smoked kielbasa or Andouille, for extra depth.
● Crispier Potatoes: Spread everything out in a single layer on the baking sheet. Overcrowding can make the potatoes steam instead of roast.
● Green Beans: If you prefer softer beans, blanch them in boiling water for 2 minutes before adding to the skillet.
● Meal Prep: This reheats beautifully! Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
This casserole is comfort food at its finest. Pair it with crusty bread or a side salad to round out the meal!
