Description
A quick and easy sheet pan dinner featuring smoky kielbasa, crispy fingerling potatoes, and colorful bell peppers, perfect for busy weeknights and crowd-pleasing meals.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound kielbasa sausage, sliced into ½-inch rounds
- 1 pound fingerling potatoes, halved lengthwise
- 2 medium bell peppers, sliced into strips
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Wash and halve the fingerling potatoes lengthwise. Pat dry with a kitchen towel.
- Slice the kielbasa into ½-inch rounds. Prick casing if thick to prevent bursting.
- Slice bell peppers into strips and thinly slice the red onion. Mince the garlic cloves.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine potatoes, kielbasa, bell peppers, onion, and garlic. Drizzle with olive oil.
- Add smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Toss thoroughly to coat evenly.
- Spread the mixture evenly onto a large rimmed sheet pan in a single layer.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping the kielbasa and potatoes halfway through (around 15-18 minutes).
- Check for doneness: potatoes should be tender with golden, crispy edges; kielbasa should be browned and caramelized.
- Remove from oven and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top.
- Serve immediately, optionally with a green salad or crusty bread.
Notes
Avoid overcrowding the sheet pan to ensure crispy edges. Pat potatoes dry before roasting to prevent steaming. For extra crispiness, use a convection oven if available. Parboiling potatoes for 5 minutes before roasting can speed cooking. Optional: add shredded cheese during last 5 minutes of roasting for a rich finish. Leftovers reheat best in a 400°F oven for 10-15 minutes to restore crispness.
