How to Make It: Step-by-Step, Stress-Free
Let’s cook this like we’re reclaiming our evenings—one delicious bite at a time.
Step 1: Preheat & Prep
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil (for zero-stick cleanup).
Step 2: Season the Potatoes & Onions
Spread potatoes and onions on the pan.
Drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil.
Sprinkle with half the salt, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and pepper.
Toss well to coat (use hands—it’s more fun).
Step 3: Roast the Potatoes First (Smart Move!)
Roast for 15 minutes.
Why? Potatoes take longer than beans or sausage. This head start ensures they’re tender inside, crispy outside.
Step 4: Add Sausage & Green Beans
Remove pan from oven.
Push potatoes and onions to one side.
Add sliced sausage and green beans to the empty space.
Drizzle with remaining 2 tbsp olive oil.
Sprinkle with remaining seasonings.
Gently toss everything together—don’t smash the beans!
Step 5: Finish Roasting
Return to oven. Roast 20–25 minutes, stirring once halfway.
Done when:
Potatoes are fork-tender and golden-crisp
Green beans are bright green with slight blistering
Sausage is browned and heated through
Pro move: Broil 1–2 minutes at the end for extra char (watch closely!).
Pro Tips for Next-Level Success
Potato swap: Try sweet potatoes or tri-color mini potatoes for variety.
Vegetarian? Swap sausage for smoked tofu, tempeh, or seasoned chickpeas.
Spice lover? Use hot andouille or add cayenne or smoked paprika.
Veggie variations: Bell peppers, zucchini, broccoli, or cherry tomatoes work beautifully.
Cheesy finish: Sprinkle with Parmesan or feta in the last 5 minutes.
Meal prep: Divide into containers for 3–4 days of easy lunches.
