Cajun Sheet Pan Sausage and Vegetables
Description
The recipe assembles diced potatoes, sliced andouille sausage, chunks of yellow onion and bell pepper, and halved green beans, which are tossed with olive oil and Cajun seasoning for robust flavor. Roasting on a sheet pan at 400°F yields tender potatoes with a bit of crispness on the edges, while the sausage imparts smoky spiciness to the dish. The vegetables soften and take on a roasted sweetness that contrasts with the savory sausage and seasoning.
This combination works well as a simple, balanced meal that requires minimal cleanup. It can be served as a main dish for dinner or a filling lunch paired with a salad or crusty bread. The Cajun seasoning adds piquancy without overwhelming the natural flavors of the vegetables and sausage.
Practical notes include cutting potatoes into ¾-inch pieces to ensure they cook fully within 30 minutes, while the onion and bell pepper sizes are more flexible. Leftovers will keep well in an airtight container for a few days or can be frozen for extended storage.
Ingredients
- 1 pound potatoes cut into ¾-inch pieces, white
- 12 ounces andouille sausage sliced into rounds
- 1 yellow onion cut into 1-inch pieces, small
- 1 yellow bell pepper cut into 1-inch pieces
- 12 ounces Green bean trimmed and cut in half, fresh
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
Instructions
- Season the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Add the potatoes, sausage, onion, bell peppers, and green beans to a large mixing bowl. Add the olive oil, and Cajun seasoning, then toss to coat evenly.
- Place on a sheet pan. Spread the seasoned ingredients out onto a sheet pan.
- Cook it all together. Bake the sausage and vegetables for 30 minutes, or until the potato is soft when pierced with a fork, and the vegetables are roasted.
Notes
- Cut potatoes into ¾-inch pieces to ensure they cook completely in 30 minutes.
- Onion and bell pepper size can vary but should be roughly bite-sized for even roasting.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days; freezing is possible up to 3 months.
