Ingredients for this Kielbasa Sheet Pan Meal

1 lb kielbasa sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
1 1/2 lbs baby potatoes (red and gold), halved
1 small yellow onion, sliced
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp dried oregano
Salt and black pepper, to taste
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Step 1: Prep the Ingredients

Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). While the oven heats, wash and dry your baby potatoes thoroughly, then slice them in half. Cut the kielbasa sausage into 1/2-inch thick rounds, and slice the onion thinly. Keep everything roughly the same size for even roasting.

Step 2: Season Everything

In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved potatoes, sliced onion, and kielbasa rounds. Drizzle in 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then sprinkle with smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and a generous pinch of salt and black pepper. Toss well to ensure everything is evenly coated in that flavorful blend.

Step 3: Assemble on a Sheet Pan

Spread the seasoned mix onto a large rimmed baking sheet, ensuring everything is in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding—this allows the edges to crisp up nicely. Use two pans if needed for maximum crispiness.

Step 4: Roast to Perfection

Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and roast for 35–40 minutes, flipping halfway through. The potatoes should be fork-tender and golden, with the kielbasa slightly caramelized on the edges.

Step 5: Finish and Serve

Remove from the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and brightness. Serve hot and enjoy as-is, or pair it with a tangy mustard dip or a light garden salad.

Storage Instructions

If you have leftovers (lucky you!), storing this Kielbasa Sheet Pan Meal is super simple. Allow everything to cool to room temperature before transferring to an airtight container.

Refrigerator: Store in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave, oven, or on a skillet until hot.
Freezer: While the potatoes may lose a bit of texture, you can freeze the leftovers for up to 2 months. Use a freezer-safe container or bag and thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.

To re-crisp, bake in a 375°F oven for about 10–12 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I use another type of sausage instead of kielbasa?

Absolutely. You can swap in smoked sausage, andouille, or even a plant-based sausage for a vegetarian version.

2. What’s the best type of potato to use?

Baby red or golden potatoes are ideal for roasting. They hold their shape well and have a creamy texture inside.

3. Can I add other vegetables?

Yes! Bell peppers, zucchini, green beans, or carrots all work beautifully. Just keep the size consistent for even roasting.

4. Is this meal spicy?

Not at all. It’s smoky and savory but mild. Want some heat? Add a pinch of cayenne or red pepper flakes.

5. Do I need to peel the potatoes?

Nope! The skins crisp up nicely and add texture. Just give them a good scrub before roasting.

6. Can I prep this meal ahead of time?

Yes, you can slice everything and store it in the fridge a day ahead. Toss in oil and seasoning right before baking.

7. What can I serve this with?

It’s great on its own, but pairs well with a green salad, crusty bread, or even sauerkraut for a tangy twist.

8. How do I make it crispier?

Use a large pan and don’t overcrowd. You can also broil it for the last 2–3 minutes to get those edges extra golden.
