Ah, the one-pan wonder—a lifesaver for busy weeknights when the thought of washing dishes feels like facing a mountain. This Kielbasa dinner, with its crispy potatoes and vibrant green beans, is like a warm hug on a plate. My grandmother always said food cooked together shares its flavors, and this dish proves her right every time.
Steps
- Preheat your oven to 400ºF. Wash the petite red potatoes and cut them into 1-inch pieces. Slice the kielbasa into medallion shapes and dice the onion into 1-inch chunks.
- Put the chopped potatoes, sliced kielbasa, diced onion, and frozen green beans onto a large baking sheet. There’s no need to thaw the green beans beforehand.
- Drizzle the ingredients on the baking sheet with olive oil. Sprinkle steak seasoning over everything, then toss the ingredients using your hands to ensure they’re well coated in the oil and spices.
- Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the mixture for 20 minutes. After the initial roasting time, stir the ingredients on the sheet to promote even cooking.
- Continue roasting for another 15 minutes or until the ingredients reach your desired level of browning. Serve the dish hot and enjoy the flavors.
