  • Baby Potatoes: Use red or yellow or a mixture of the two. No need to peel these, just wash and chop. Regular red or yellow potatoes will work too—just cut them into smaller, even pieces for faster cooking.
  • Smoked sausage: Use any type of smoked sausage you prefer. Andouille, kielbasa, or turkey sausage all work well. You can find it in the refrigerated meat section of your grocery store.
  • Zucchini: Yellow squash or even broccoli could be good alternatives.
  • Red Onion: This adds a subtle sweetness when roasted. If you don’t have red onion, yellow or white onions work just as well.
  • Bell Pepper: Any color bell pepper will work here.
  • Olive Oil: Extra virgin olive oil works best, but you can substitute with another neutral oil like avocado or vegetable oil.
  • Seasonings: You can adjust the paprika to your heat preference or try adding a pinch of cayenne for a little kick.

Sausage Options

Smoked sausage is a classic choice, offering a savory, slightly smoky flavor that pairs well with the veggies. Andouille sausage adds a bit of spice, perfect if you like a little kick. Kielbasa, with its mild and slightly garlicky taste, is another great option. For a lighter version, you can swap in turkey or chicken sausage—both will still deliver plenty of flavor while cutting back on fat. No matter which sausage you choose, make sure to slice them into even coins for consistent cooking.

Baking Sheet

For best results, choose a solid, rimmed 13×18-inch baking sheet. This is often called a baker’s half sheet. This size allows the sausage and vegetables to roast evenly without trapping steam. A smaller pan, such as 9×13, may crowd the ingredients, leading to less crispy veggies. If your pan is on the smaller side, it’s better to split the ingredients between two pans to ensure they roast perfectly.

Storage and Reheating Instructions

Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Reheat in a microwave-safe dish for 1-2 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even heating.

Reheat in an air fryer at 350°F for 3-4 minutes to keep the veggies crisp.
