Why You’ll Love This One Pan Sausage Green Beans and Potatoes

One pan, no fuss: Everything roasts together, which means fewer dishes and no juggling stovetop burners.
Wholesome ingredients: Naturally gluten-free and packed with fiber and protein.
Make-ahead friendly: Prep everything the night before and toss it on the pan when ready.
Endlessly adaptable: Swap in broccoli, sweet potatoes, or your favorite smoked sausage.

What Kind of Sausage Works Best?

Go for fully-cooked smoked sausage or kielbasa for the easiest option. Chicken sausage, turkey sausage, or even spicy andouille add fun twists in flavor. If you’re using raw sausage links, slice and pan-sear them beforehand so they crisp up nicely in the oven without overcooking the vegetables.

Ingredients for the One Pan Sausage Green Beans and Potatoes

Smoked sausage: Brings savory depth, a satisfying chew, and gets caramelized when roasted.
Baby potatoes: A mix of red and gold potatoes provides color, texture, and earthy flavor.
Fresh green beans: Adds bright contrast and crisp-tender texture to balance the richness.
Olive oil: Helps with browning and carries the seasoning evenly across all ingredients.
Garlic: Adds an aromatic kick and brings all the flavors together.
Italian seasoning: A go-to blend for depth and herby notes.
Salt and pepper: Simple but essential for bringing out every flavor.
Fresh parsley (optional): For a fresh garnish and pop of color.

How To Make the One Pan Sausage Green Beans and Potatoes

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a large sheet pan with nonstick spray or parchment for easier cleanup.

Step 2: Chop and Season

Slice 12 ounces of smoked sausage into thick coins. Cut 1.5 pounds of baby potatoes into quarters. Trim the ends from 12 ounces of green beans.

In a large bowl, toss the potatoes and green beans with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.

Step 3: Layer It On

Spread the potatoes across half of the sheet pan and roast for 15 minutes. Then, add the green beans and sausage to the other half and stir everything gently to coat with any pan drippings.

Step 4: Roast to Perfection

Return the pan to the oven and roast for another 20-25 minutes, or until potatoes are fork-tender and the sausage is golden brown and crisped on the edges.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley before serving, if desired. Serve hot right off the pan.

How to Serve It Right

This one-pan dinner is a full meal on its own and serves 4 to 5 people generously. It pairs perfectly with a side of crusty bread or a simple green salad if you’re feeding a bigger crowd. For brunch vibes, top it with a fried egg!

The Best Way to Store Leftovers

Let leftovers cool completely, then transfer them to an airtight container. Store in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F until warmed through or pop into an air fryer to bring back the crispiness. You can freeze the cooked sausage and potatoes for up to 2 months (avoid freezing green beans, as they can get mushy).

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen green beans?
Yes, but fresh green beans hold their shape and texture better during roasting. If using frozen, add them halfway through cooking to avoid over-softening.

Can I meal prep this?
Definitely. Chop everything and store separately in containers. When ready, toss with oil and seasoning, then roast.

How do I make this spicy?
Use spicy andouille sausage or add a pinch of red pepper flakes when seasoning.

What if I don’t have Italian seasoning?
Make your own using equal parts dried basil, oregano, thyme, and rosemary.

Can I cook this in a skillet instead?
Yes, you can sauté the potatoes until tender, then add sausage and green beans. It’s a little more hands-on but works just as well.
