How To Make the One Pan Sausage Green Beans and Potatoes

Step 1: Prep the ingredients

Wash and halve the baby potatoes. Trim the ends off the green beans. Slice the sausage into thick coins and dice the onion.

Step 2: Season and toss

In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, green beans, and onions with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss until well coated.

Step 3: Assemble on a baking sheet

Spread the seasoned veggies out on a large rimmed baking sheet. Nestle in the sausage slices so they touch the pan and can get caramelized.

Step 4: Roast to perfection

Roast in a preheated oven at 425°F for about 25-30 minutes, flipping once halfway. You want the potatoes fork-tender and everything golden brown.

Step 5: Garnish and serve

Top with chopped fresh parsley or thyme if desired, and serve warm straight from the sheet pan.
