How to make smoked sausage green beans and potatoes

This easy meal comes together in just a few steps:

1. Preheat Your Oven

Set your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Combine Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, toss together the sliced sausage, potatoes, and green beans.

3. Season Everything

Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat everything evenly.

4. Spread on a Baking sheet

Arrange the mixture in a single layer on a large baking sheet for even cooking. (You can put parchment paper on the pan for easier clean-up if you like.)

5. Roast to Perfection

Bake for 35-40 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the potatoes are tender and the sausage is nicely browned.

6. Let Cool & Serve

Remove from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes before serving.

Tips for the best smoked sausage green beans and potatoes

1. Use Fresh Green Beans for the Best Texture

If you prefer softer green beans, frozen or canned green beans can work. Just add canned green beans in the last 10 minutes of baking to prevent overcooking.

2. Try Different Sausages

While smoked sausage or kielbasa is traditional, you can use chicken sausage, or andouille sausage for a different twist.

3. Use Any Potato Variety

Yukon Gold potatoes, red potatoes, or russet potatoes all work great in this recipe. Just cut them into 1-inch pieces to ensure even cooking.

4. Add Extra Seasoning for a Kick

For a spicy version, red pepper flakes, Cajun seasoning, or smoked paprika will enhance the smoky flavor.

5. Enhance the Flavor with Broth or Stock

A splash of chicken broth or beef broth can add moisture and extra depth of flavor. (But you only want a little splash.)

6. Make Instant Pot Smoked Sausage green beans and potatoes

To make Instant Pot sausage and green beans, add all ingredients to a 6-quart Instant Pot, pour in ½ cup of water or broth, and cook on high pressure for 5 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes before serving.

How to store and reheat leftovers

Storage Instructions

• Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
• Freeze: Because of the potatoes, this dish doesn't freeze very well, so I don't recommend it.

Reheating Instructions

• Oven: Bake at 375°F for 10-15 minutes to restore crispiness.
• Skillet: Saute with a little olive oil over medium heat until warmed through.
• Microwave: Heat in 30-second intervals until hot.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen or canned green beans?

Yes! Frozen beans work well—just thaw before using. If using canned beans, drain them and add in the last 10 minutes of roasting.

Can I cook this on the stovetop?

Absolutely! Brown the sliced sausage in a large skillet, then add potatoes and green beans. Cover and cook over medium heat until potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally.

How can I make this dish healthier?

• Use chicken sausage instead of traditional smoked sausage.
• Swap baby potatoes for sweet potatoes for added nutrition.
• Reduce the oil and use broth instead of oil.
