This satisfying one-pan dinner brings together smoky kielbasa slices, seasoned potatoes, green peppers, and red onion roasted together for easy prep and bold flavor. It is my go-to when I want hearty comfort but need something quick and fuss free. Everything cooks up on one pan, so cleanup is almost nothing, and the amazing smells fill the kitchen. Drizzle over some spicy Asian Zing sauce right before serving for the perfect finishing kick, or swap in barbecue for a milder vibe. Serve straight from the pan with green onions for a cozy, crowd pleasing meal.
The first time I made this my kids devoured every single bite and my husband grabbed seconds before I could sit down. Now it is the one meal I rely on when friends come over or when I need to guarantee smiles around the table.
Ingredients
- Beef kielbasa: Choose a quality smoked sausage for the best flavor and texture I always pick a brand with a short ingredient list and no fillers
- Large potatoes: Yukon gold or russet both roast beautifully Chop into small even cubes to help them soften faster
- Green bell peppers: Glossy bright green peppers stay crisp and fresh in the oven
- Red onion: Adds sweetness and color Make sure your slices are similar in size to the peppers
- Olive oil: Use extra virgin for depth of flavor and the perfect golden roast
- Salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika: Classic spices that build a seriously savory seasoning
- Buffalo Wild Wings Asian Zing sauce: For heat and tang Simply swap for barbecue or any favorite sauce if you want it less spicy
- Chopped green onions: Fresh and bright for the perfect garnish
Instructions
- Prep the Kielbasa and Veggies:
- Slice the kielbasa into thin rounds Cut the green bell peppers and red onion into pieces about the same size as each other Peel wash and chop the potatoes into even small cubes so they cook at the same rate and get tender as they roast
- Season the Potatoes:
- Place the chopped potatoes into a large mixing bowl Drizzle with olive oil Scatter with salt pepper garlic powder and paprika Toss everything thoroughly so every potato cube is well coated with oil and spices
- Combine with Peppers and Onions:
- Add the chopped peppers and onions to the bowl with the seasoned potatoes Pour in a little more oil and a light dusting of spices Then toss again until all the vegetables appear lightly slicked and speckled for even roasting
- Arrange on the Sheet Pan:
- Spray a large sheet pan lightly with cooking spray Spread out the potato and vegetable mixture in an even layer Then scatter the sliced kielbasa over the top so it can brown up as the veggies roast
- Bake to Perfection:
- Place the sheet pan in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Roast for thirty to forty minutes Check at thirty minutes to see if potatoes are tender and golden Continue roasting up to forty minutes for a deeper caramelized finish
- Finish and Serve:
- Take the roasted sheet pan from the oven Drizzle with Buffalo Wild Wings Asian Zing sauce or leave some plain for those who prefer less heat Top with chopped green onions Serve piping hot straight from the pan
Potatoes are always the ingredient that brings my family together I remember my youngest snatching the crisp roasted edges right off the pan before anyone else Even now it is the golden potato bites that everyone tries to claim first
How to Store Leftovers
Spoon any extra kielbasa and vegetables into an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to three days For reheating use a lined baking sheet in a 375 degree oven for ten to fifteen minutes for the best crisp texture The flavor deepens after a day so leftovers make the perfect easy lunch
Ingredient Swaps and Substitutions
You can absolutely switch up the veggies based on what you have Try sweet potatoes zucchini or carrots if you want extra color and nutrients Turkey sausage or chicken sausage both work beautifully in place of beef Try bottled teriyaki honey mustard or smoky barbecue sauces for an entirely new flavor profile each time
How to Serve It
Serve warm straight from the pan as a complete dinner I like to add a big green salad or simple white rice on the side For parties cut everything smaller and serve with toothpicks for a crowd pleasing appetizer This recipe truly shines as an easy family meal or a fun addition to gatherings
Many friends have made this with their own sauce twist and shared rave reviews Even picky eaters come back for seconds Everyone agrees the quick clean up makes this dish a true weeknight hero
