Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 pound (454 grams) smoked sausage, sliced
Vegetables:
- 1 pound (454 grams) baby potatoes, quartered
- 1 pound (454 grams) fresh green beans, trimmed
Seasonings and Extras:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 400F (200C) and coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray for optimal non-stick preparation.
- Combine potatoes with olive oil, garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl, ensuring even seasoning coverage.
- Distribute the seasoned potato mixture uniformly across the greased baking dish, creating a single layer for consistent cooking.
- Roast the potatoes for 15 minutes until they begin to develop a golden exterior and soften slightly.
- Carefully extract the baking dish from the oven and layer sliced sausage and green beans over the partially cooked potatoes.
- Drizzle melted butter across the entire dish, gently tossing ingredients to ensure comprehensive coating and flavor distribution.
- Return the casserole to the oven and continue baking for 25-30 minutes, rotating the dish midway to promote even browning and cooking.
- Verify doneness by checking that potatoes are tender, sausage edges are caramelized, and green beans are crisp-tender.
- Remove from oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving to help flavors meld and stabilize the dish’s temperature.
Notes
- Customize spices by swapping smoked paprika with herbs like rosemary or thyme for a different flavor profile.
- Use turkey or chicken sausage for a leaner protein option that reduces overall fat content.
- Ensure even cooking by cutting potatoes and green beans into similar-sized pieces to guarantee uniform texture and doneness.
- Add extra vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini to boost nutritional value and create more variety in the dish.
