Fresh green beans are my favorite part of this meal I often grab extra because my family loves their crisp and roasty edges. Once my son gleefully picked every last green bean off the tray and declared them the best part of dinner.
Storage Tips
This dish keeps well for up to three days in the refrigerator. Let it cool completely before storing in sealed containers. For best results reheat in a skillet or oven so the potatoes get crispy again. I like to pack leftovers in lunch boxes straight from the fridge on busy mornings.
Ingredient Substitutions
Feel free to swap the potato type for red potatoes or Yukon golds if that is what you have. Turkey smoked sausage is a great lighter alternative to andouille or kielbasa. Out of fresh green beans Frozen ones work in a pinch but do not thaw them first as they will brown better from frozen.
Serving Suggestions
Pile into bowls with a dollop of sour cream or spicy mustard on the side. A crusty baguette or garlic bread makes this meal feel extra cozy. For a bigger spread I like to serve it next to a green salad tossed with lemony vinaigrette.
Cultural Notes
Sheet pan meals like this harken back to rustic European cooking where market vegetables and sausage are baked together for maximum flavor. In my kitchen they also mean more time chatting at the table and less scrubbing pans.
