Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 lb (454 g) smoked sausage (sliced)
- 1 lb (454 g) baby potatoes (halved)
- 2 cups (475 ml) fresh green beans (trimmed)
Seasoning and Aromatics:
- 1 onion (sliced)
- 3 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking Liquid:
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare the culinary workspace by heating the oven to a robust 400°F, creating an ideal roasting environment for the upcoming dish.
- Craft flavor-packed potato cubes by generously coating them with olive oil, then seasoning with a harmonious blend of salt, pepper, and smoky paprika.
- Spread the seasoned potato pieces evenly across a baking sheet, allowing them to transform into golden, crispy morsels through a 20-minute roasting process.
- Simultaneously, activate a large skillet and introduce the sausage, coaxing it to develop a rich, caramelized exterior through medium-heat sautéing.
- Once the sausage achieves a beautiful brown complexion, incorporate fresh green beans, diced onions, and minced garlic into the skillet’s flavor landscape.
- Tenderly cook the vegetable mixture, ensuring the green beans retain a delightful crisp-tender texture while absorbing the savory sausage essence.
- Consolidate the roasted potato cubes, perfectly browned sausage, and aromatic vegetable medley into a spacious casserole dish.
- Return the combined ingredients to the oven, allowing them to meld and heat thoroughly for an additional 10-15 minutes, intensifying their collective flavor profile.
- Present the piping-hot casserole directly from the oven, inviting diners to savor this rustic, comforting culinary creation.
Notes
- Select sausage varieties like smoked or spicy Italian for extra flavor complexity and depth.
- Keep green beans crisp by avoiding overcooking; aim for bright green color and slight crunch when preparing.
- Experiment with different potato types such as red, golden, or fingerling to create unique texture variations.
- Using cast iron skillet helps develop deeper caramelization on sausage and enhances overall dish richness.
