Ingredients:

  • 1 lb smoked kielbasa, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
  • 2 cups brussels sprouts, halved
  • 2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch coins
  • 1 large red bell pepper, chopped into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 medium red onion, cut into wedges
  • 1 lb baby potatoes, quartered
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Let it fully reach temp so the sear starts immediately.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced sausage, halved brussels sprouts, sliced carrots, chopped red bell pepper, red onion wedges, and quartered baby potatoes.
  3. Drizzle the olive oil over the mixture and sprinkle with garlic powder, dried oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly coated.
  4. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the mixture in a single layer, ensuring no pieces are overlapping to prevent steaming.
  5. Roast in the center rack for 15 minutes.
  6. Using a spatula, flip the sausage and toss the vegetables to redistribute the oil and ensure even browning.
  7. Roast for another 15 minutes until the sausage is browned and the edges of the onions and sprouts are charred and crisp.
  8. Remove from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes before serving. Optional: Squeeze half a fresh lemon over the pan immediately after removing from the oven for added acidity.
