This Kielbasa Sheet Pan Meal is my go-to for those busy weeknights where minimal prep and big flavor are non-negotiable. Hearty smoked sausage gets tossed together with potatoes, bell peppers, and onions, then roasted until everything is golden and crisp. Finish it with a zingy sauce for a spicy touch or keep it classic with BBQ if your crew likes things mild. You only need one pan and a few minutes of chopping for a meal that comes together almost hands-off, leaving you with a delicious dinner and barely any mess.

The first time I made this my kids devoured every bite and my husband went back for seconds. I keep this sheet pan dinner in my rotation when we have friends over or need something guaranteed to make everyone happy.

Ingredients

  • Beef kielbasa: Choose high quality smoked sausage with a short ingredient list for the best flavor. I love when it is well marbled and not too fatty.
  • Large potatoes: Yukon gold or russet both work. Chop into small cubes for even roasting and creamy interiors.
  • Green bell peppers: Look for bright green and glossy skin. They add fresh crunch and color.
  • Red onion: Slices help balance the dish with gentle sweetness. Choose firm onions with no soft spots.
  • Olive oil: Use extra virgin for a rich flavor and golden crispiness.
  • Salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika: Classic spices that create a craveable savory seasoning.
  • Buffalo Wild Wings Asian Zing sauce: Tangy and spicy for the perfect finish or swap for BBQ if you prefer less heat.
  • Chopped green onions: Fresh garnish brightens flavor and adds a vibrant green pop right before serving.

Instructions

Prep the Kielbasa and Veggies:
Slice the kielbasa into thin rounds. Chop the bell peppers and red onion into even size pieces. Peel, wash, and cube the potatoes small so they cook evenly and become super tender as they roast.
Season the Potatoes:
Place the cubed potatoes in a big mixing bowl. Pour in olive oil until lightly coated. Scatter on the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss everything so all the potato pieces are completely covered in oil and spices.
Combine with Peppers and Onions:
Add the chopped bell peppers and red onion to the bowl. Give it another drizzle of olive oil and a small sprinkle of spices. Toss again until every veggie is glistening and coated all over.
Arrange on the Sheet Pan:
Spray a large sheet pan with a light coating so nothing sticks. Scatter the potato and veggie mixture in a single even layer across the pan, then top with your sliced kielbasa spread out to get maximum caramelized edges.
Bake to Perfection:
Put the pan in a preheated four hundred degree oven. Roast for thirty to forty minutes. At thirty minutes check the potatoes for tenderness and golden color. Continue roasting until everything is caramelized and fully cooked through.
Finish and Serve:
Right before serving drizzle across the Buffalo Wild Wings Asian Zing sauce or your favorite sauce for extra flavor. Sprinkle chopped green onions over the top and bring the whole pan straight to the table to serve hot.

Potatoes always make our house a happy place. I can picture my youngest snatching crispy bits before the pan hits the table. That extra caramelized flavor on the potato edges is the reason this is a weekly favorite for us.

How to Store Leftovers

If you have extra after dinner just transfer everything to an airtight container. It will keep for up to three days in the fridge. To reheat, put everything back on a tray and warm it in a three seventy five degree oven so the edges crisp up again. The potatoes soak up the flavors and it becomes a perfect lunch the next day.

Ingredient Swaps and Substitutions

This recipe is super flexible. Use turkey sausage or chicken sausage for something lighter. Or swap in any veggies you love like sweet potatoes, zucchini, or sliced carrots. Try teriyaki, honey mustard, or smoky barbecue sauce for a different spin and see what your family prefers.

Serving Suggestions

This sheet pan dinner shines solo, but you can serve it over fluffy white rice, with a big green salad, or next to some crusty bread. When I have extra guests I chop everything slightly smaller and serve toothpick style for a fun appetizer straight from the pan.

Common Recipe Questions

→ Can I use turkey or chicken sausage?

Yes, turkey or chicken sausage works well. Adjust roasting time slightly, as leaner sausages may brown faster.

→ What vegetables can I substitute?

Carrots, zucchini, or sweet potatoes all roast nicely alongside kielbasa and give added color and flavor.

→ How do I prevent sticking to the pan?

Use a generous coating of olive oil and consider lining your sheet pan with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.

→ Is spicy sauce necessary?

No, the meal is flavorful on its own. Add Asian Zing or BBQ sauce as a finish if you prefer extra zest or mild sweetness.

→ Does this dish reheat well?

Yes, leftovers store well in the fridge and reheat best on a tray in the oven to maintain texture and flavor.

What You'll Need

→ Main

01 1 pound beef kielbasa, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
02 1 1/2 pounds Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
03 2 medium green bell peppers, deseeded and chopped into 1-inch pieces
04 1 large red onion, peeled and chopped into 1-inch pieces

→ Seasoning and Finishing

05 2 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

09 1 teaspoon paprika
10 3 tablespoons Buffalo Wild Wings Asian Zing sauce or barbecue sauce, for serving
11 2 tablespoons chopped green onions, for garnish
12 Nonstick cooking spray, as needed for pan

Steps to Follow

Step 01

Slice the beef kielbasa into 1/2-inch rounds. Peel and cube the potatoes into 1/2-inch pieces. Chop the bell peppers and red onion into evenly sized 1-inch pieces.

Step 02

Place the potato cubes in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with half the olive oil, then add the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss thoroughly to coat all potatoes.

Step 03

Add the chopped bell peppers and red onion to the seasoned potatoes in the bowl. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil and toss again until all vegetables are evenly coated.

Step 04

Coat a large rimmed sheet pan with nonstick cooking spray. Evenly spread the seasoned potato and vegetable mixture across the pan. Scatter the kielbasa slices over the top.

Step 05

Roast in a preheated 400°F oven for 30 to 40 minutes. At 30 minutes, check that potatoes are tender and everything is golden and caramelized. If necessary, continue roasting for up to 10 more minutes.

Step 06

Remove from oven. Drizzle the roasted mixture with Asian Zing or barbecue sauce as desired and toss gently to combine. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve directly from the pan while hot.

Extra Suggestions

  1. For even cooking, cut potatoes smaller than the other vegetables. Add sauce only after roasting to preserve bright flavor and avoid burning.
  2. To prevent sticking, coat the sheet pan with nonstick spray and toss the potatoes well in olive oil before roasting.
  3. This meal reheats well for leftovers and is easily customized with different proteins or vegetables according to preference.
