Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound kielbasa (smoked sausage), sliced into ½-inch pieces
- 1 pound baby potatoes, halved or quartered (depending on size)
- 2 medium bell peppers (any color), sliced into strips
- 1 medium red onion, sliced into wedges
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried parsley)
- 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried basil)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This temperature ensures that everything roasts evenly and develops a tasty caramelization.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced kielbasa, halved baby potatoes, sliced bell peppers, and red onion wedges. Add the minced garlic, olive oil, smoked paprika, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until well coated. Ensure the potatoes are evenly distributed for consistent cooking.
- Spread the mixture evenly across a large sheet pan in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding; this will help the ingredients roast rather than steam. You'll know it's right when the veggies have breathing space.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. Halfway through (at about the 15-minute mark), stir the contents of the pan to promote even browning. You want the potatoes to be fork-tender and the kielbasa to get some crispy edges.
- While the ingredients are roasting, prepare the garlic herb oil. In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic, parsley, basil, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes if using. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
- Check the roasting vegetables after 25 minutes; they should be golden and slightly charred. If they need more time, roast for an additional 5 minutes, but keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
- Once done, remove the pan from the oven and drizzle the garlic herb oil over the hot ingredients. Toss gently to combine, ensuring everything gets a good coating. The heat will help the oil infuse its flavors into the dish.
- Serve hot, garnished with extra fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy the blend of flavors and textures!
