Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 pound smoked sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 large sweet yellow onion, peeled and cut into wedges
- 1 pound baby yellow and/or red potatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon ground thyme
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the sausage and potatoes.
- Prepare the Ingredients: Slice the smoked sausage into 1/2-inch pieces, cut the sweet yellow onion into wedges, and halve the baby potatoes to ensure even cooking.
- Season the Vegetables and Sausage: In a large mixing bowl, combine the potatoes, onion wedges, and sausage slices. Drizzle with 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, 1 teaspoon ground thyme, 2 teaspoons paprika, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Toss everything until evenly coated.
- Arrange on Sheet Pan: Spread the seasoned sausage and vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet, making sure they are evenly spaced for proper roasting.
- Roast in the Oven: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and roast for about 25-30 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, stir or flip the sausage and potatoes to ensure even browning and cooking.
- Add Lemon Juice and Parsley: Once the sausage and potatoes are cooked and golden brown, remove the pan from the oven. Drizzle 2 teaspoons of fresh lemon juice over the dish and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of freshly chopped parsley for brightness and added flavor.
- Serve Warm: Transfer the roasted smoked sausage and potatoes to a serving dish and enjoy immediately while hot.
Notes
- Feel free to use all red or all yellow baby potatoes if preferred.
- For extra crispiness, you can broil the dish for 2-3 minutes at the end of roasting, watching carefully to avoid burning.
- This recipe can be adjusted to include other vegetables like bell peppers or Brussels sprouts for variety.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in a skillet or oven to restore crispness.
