Ingredients
- Smoked Sausage: Use fully cooked smoked sausage, such as kielbasa or andouille, for ease and bold flavor. Slice it into ¼-inch rounds so it caramelizes nicely in the oven.
- Yukon Gold Potatoes: Petite Yukon golds are ideal for roasting; they're naturally creamy and hold their shape well. Quarter them so they cook evenly with the sausage and green beans.
- Fresh Green Beans: Trim the ends before using. Look for firm, bright green beans without wrinkles. Fresh beans will stay crisp-tender after roasting.
- Butter: Adds rich flavor and helps the seasonings stick to the ingredients. Unsalted butter works best to control the salt level, but salted can be used in a pinch.
- Seasonings: We used black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, chili powder, dried thyme, and dried oregano. This mix brings warmth, smokiness, and a little kick to the dish. Paprika and chili powder add color and depth, while thyme and oregano offer earthy, herby notes.

Variations
- Swap the sausage: Use chicken sausage, turkey sausage, or plant-based sausage for a lighter or vegetarian-friendly version.
- Try different veggies: Substitute or mix in other quick-roasting vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, or cherry tomatoes for added color and flavor.
- Make it spicy: Add sliced jalapenos or a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the mix for a little heat.
- Add a cheesy finish: Sprinkle shredded parmesan or a sharp cheddar over sausage, green beans, and potatoes during the last 5 minutes of baking for a gooey, golden topping.
- Add a sauce drizzle: After baking, drizzle with a balsamic glaze or spicy mustard for an extra layer of flavor.
How to Make Sheet Pan Sausage and Vegetables
This sausage sheet pan meal comes together quickly with a little prep and a hot oven. Before you begin, preheat your oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Step 1: Slice and Prep. Cut the sausage into ¼-inch rounds, quarter the potatoes, and trim the green beans. Having everything roughly the same size helps it cook evenly.
- Step 2: Toss with Seasoning. In a large bowl, combine the smoked sausage, green beans, and potatoes. Drizzle with melted butter and sprinkle on the seasonings. Toss until everything is well coated.
- Step 3: Spread on Baking Sheet. Arrange the mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. This helps the vegetables roast well and get nicely browned.
- Step 4: Bake Until Tender. Place the pan in the oven and roast for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender and start to brown.
Hint: Don't Overcrowd the Pan
Spread everything out in a single layer on your sheet pan; if the ingredients are piled on top of each one other, they'll steam instead of roast, and you'll miss out on that delicious caramelization.
Expert Tips
- Cut Evenly for Even Cooking: Make sure the potatoes are cut into similar-sized pieces. This helps them roast evenly and finish at the same time as the sausage and green beans.
- Line Your Pan for Easy Cleanup: Parchment paper or foil helps prevent sticking and makes cleanup super easy, especially helpful when working with melted butter.
- Toss in Butter While Hot: Tossing the green beans, potatoes, and sausage in melted butter before baking helps the seasonings stick and gives everything that rich, roasted flavor.
- Flip or Stir Halfway Through: For extra browning and even cooking, give everything a quick stir or flip halfway through the bake time.
- Add Fresh Herbs After Roasting: Sprinkle with chopped parsley or a squeeze of lemon juice just before serving to brighten the dish and add a fresh finishing touch.
Storage Directions
- Storing: Stored leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. This makes it great for meal prep or quick lunches throughout the week.
- Reheating: To reheat, warm in the microwave in 30- to 60-second intervals until heated through. You can also reheat in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes to help the veggies crisp back up.
- Make Ahead: While this one pan sausage and potatoes is best enjoyed fresh, you can chop the potatoes and trim the green beans a day in advance. Store them separately in the fridge and cover the potatoes with water to prevent browning. When you're ready to cook, assemble and bake for a fast, no-fuss meal.

Recipe FAQs
A standard half-sheet pan (about 18x13 inches) works best for this sausage sheet pan recipe. It gives enough space for everything to roast evenly without overcrowding.
Absolutely! This recipe is super flexible. Try swapping in broccoli, bell peppers, carrots, or Brussels sprouts. Just make sure the vegetables you choose have similar roasting times or cut them accordingly.
No pre-boiling needed! As long as your potatoes are cut small enough (about 1-inch pieces), they'll roast perfectly in the oven alongside the sausage and green beans.
This dish is best enjoyed fresh, but you can freeze leftovers if needed. Just know that the texture of the green beans and potatoes may soften when reheated. For best results, reheat in the oven to help revive some of the original texture.
