Ingredients
  

1 pound smoked sausage (such as kielbasa or andouille), sliced into rounds

1.5 pounds baby potatoes (red or yellow), halved

1 large red onion, sliced into wedges

3 cloves garlic, minced

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Optional: Red pepper flakes for a spicy kick

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare the Vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the halved baby potatoes, sliced red onion, and minced garlic. Drizzle with olive oil.

      Season the Mixture: Add in smoked paprika, dried oregano, dried thyme, black pepper, and salt. Toss everything together until the potatoes and onions are evenly coated with the oil and spices.

        Add the Sausage: Fold in the sliced smoked sausage into the vegetable mixture, ensuring all components are well combined.

          Spread on Baking Sheet: Transfer the mixture to a large baking sheet, spreading it out into a single even layer. This allows for proper roasting and browning.

            Roast in the Oven: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 30-35 minutes. Stir halfway through to ensure even cooking.

              Check for Doneness: The potatoes should be fork-tender and the sausage should be nicely browned. If you prefer a crispier finish, you can broil it for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end, watching closely to avoid burning.

                Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh chopped parsley. If you like some heat, sprinkle red pepper flakes over the top. Serve hot and enjoy your smoky, hearty dish!
