This Kielbasa Sheet Pan Dinner is my weeknight savior when I want something hearty but do not have time for a pile of dishes. Smoky kielbasa, golden potatoes, and sweet roasted veggies all caramelize together in the oven while I prep nothing more than a sauce drizzle and some fresh green onions. It is the kind of meal that feeds a hungry family fast without sacrificing flavor.

The first time I made this, my kids fought over the last crispy potato, and my husband called it the best easy dinner we had in months. Now it is a recipe I keep in rotation whenever I need guaranteed smiles.

Ingredients

  • Beef kielbasa: Choose a high quality smoked sausage with simple ingredients for rich flavor
  • Large potatoes: Yukon gold or russet both roast beautifully and get crisp edges when cut into small cubes
  • Green bell peppers: Look for glossy firm peppers for sweetness and crunch
  • Red onion: Adds color and a mild caramelized sweetness once roasted
  • Olive oil: Extra virgin helps everything brown and crisp up in the oven
  • Salt black pepper garlic powder paprika: A classic savory blend that makes the flavors shine
  • Buffalo Wild Wings Asian Zing sauce: Spicy tangy heat to drizzle at the end You can swap in barbecue or teriyaki if preferred
  • Chopped green onions: A fresh garnish that brightens the whole pan

Steps to Follow

Step 01

Slice the kielbasa into thin rounds. Cut the bell peppers and red onion into pieces similar in size to each other. Peel, wash and chop the potatoes into small cubes to help them soften faster as they roast.

Step 02

Place the chopped potatoes into a large mixing bowl. Drizzle generously with olive oil. Scatter on salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika. Toss well so every piece is coated evenly.

Step 03

Add the chopped peppers and red onion to the bowl with the seasoned potatoes. Drizzle in a bit more olive oil and a light sprinkle of seasoning. Toss again to make sure everything is seasoned and coated well.

Step 04

Spray a large sheet pan with a light coating of cooking spray. Spread out the potato and veggie mixture in an even layer. Scatter the sliced kielbasa over the top.

Step 05

Roast in a preheated oven at 400°F for 30 to 40 minutes. At 30 minutes check for tenderness in the potatoes and a golden color. Continue roasting up to 40 minutes until everything is caramelized and cooked through.

Step 06

Just before serving drizzle everything with Buffalo Wild Wings Asian Zing sauce or leave some plain for anyone who prefers less heat. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot directly from the pan.

  2. Do not skip tossing everything well in oil and seasoning before you roast
  3. Add the sauce only at the end so nothing burns and you get bright flavor
