Need a no-fuss dinner but crave real comfort? This easy sausage with green beans and potatoes comes together in one tray. Bite into fresh green beans and golden spuds, all mingled with tasty sausage. Your kitchen smells amazing, and cleanup is a breeze.
The first time I fixed this, I couldn’t believe how simple it was to make such bold, craveable food. Now my crew won’t let me skip it—they always want seconds.
Tasty Ingredients
- Olive oil: gets everything golden and crispy, go for extra virgin if you have it
- Italian seasoning blend: throws in easy herby goodness—mix your favorites if you want
- Ground black pepper: adds the right punch of warmth, especially when you grind it fresh
- Salt: makes every bite pop, I go with kosher if I can
- Garlic powder: for a soft flavor kick—make sure it isn’t old or chunky
- Fresh green beans: snip the ends, they should snap with freshness
- Yellow onion: slice up for sweet flavor, pick a solid one with tight skin
- Baby potatoes: chop for that perfect crispy/creamy thing, pick firm little ones and skip any with weird green bits
- Pre-cooked andouille sausage or kielbasa: chop up for deep flavor, less filler is better
- Fresh parsley: finish with a sprinkle, look for bright green leaves
Simple Instructions
- Finish With Herbs:
- Pull out of the oven and shake a little parsley over everything. This brightens up the taste. Serve it straight from the hot tray!
- Roast Everything:
- Pop the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 30 to 40 minutes. Stir and flip things around halfway—this helps those edges get perfect and crispy.
- Lay It Out for Roasting:
- Dump the oily mix onto a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Spread it out, so nothing stacks or else it’ll steam—not roast.
- Coat Well:
- Give a generous drizzle of olive oil and dust over your garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Use your hands to toss until slick and even.
- Blend It All Up:
- Add sliced sausage, potatoes, beans, and onion to a big bowl. They’re ready for the seasonings next.
- Heat the Oven:
- Get your oven cranking at 400°F. That way it’s super hot and ready for roasting action.

Andouille always gives the meal that smoky smack I love, but I’ll swap in kielbasa if the family wants something gentler. Doing this reminds me of big family get-togethers, with everyone fighting for those crispiest potato bits.
Smart Storing
Chuck any leftovers in a sealed container and pop in the fridge for four days. For max crunch, reheat on a tray in a hot oven—not the microwave—so you keep those crispy edges on the sausage and potatoes.
Easy Ingredient Swaps
Go with chicken apple sausage if you want lighter flavor. Only got frozen green beans? Toss them right on, don’t bother thawing. Sweet potatoes add extra color and a sweet bite if you’re in the mood.
How to Serve
It stands alone but gets even better with a blob of mustard or a splash of balsamic. Sometimes, I spoon it over cool herby yogurt for a tangy finishing touch.

Background and Traditions
Back in Europe, people roasted everything together for simple, hearty meals without lots of dishes. Mixing sausage and spuds is classic in German, Polish, and French cooking—meals built around comfort and feeding a crowd.
Common Questions
- → Can I use other sausages?
For sure. Switch to turkey sausage, chicken sausage, or go meat-free with smoked tofu. Just watch your cook times—bigger cuts might need a little longer.
- → Should I peel the potatoes?
Nope, no need with baby potatoes. Just slice and toss them in. The skins keep it hearty and add nutrition.
- → What if I don’t have Italian seasoning?
No worries—just use whatever dried herbs you’ve got, like basil, oregano, or thyme. Mix and match to your liking.
- → How do I get everything roasted evenly?
Spread it all out on the pan so nothing’s piling up, and flip everything over about halfway through. That way every bit gets golden.
- → Can I use this for meal prep?
Definitely. It reheats great, so stash leftovers in a sealed container for lunches later on.
- → Is it possible to prep this in advance?
You bet. Chop the sausage and veggies early, then just combine and cook when you’re set to eat.
