- 1.5 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 400°F, preparing a spacious baking dish for the hearty combination of ingredients.
- Carefully slice potatoes into uniform halves and cut sausage into bite-sized rounds to ensure even cooking and consistent flavor distribution.
- Mince fresh garlic and thinly slice onions to enhance the aromatic profile of the casserole.
- Combine potatoes, green beans, sausage, garlic, and onion in a large mixing bowl, drizzling with olive oil and seasoning generously with salt and pepper.
- Toss the ingredients thoroughly, ensuring each component is evenly coated with oil and seasonings for maximum flavor absorption.
- Transfer the mixed ingredients to the baking dish, spreading them in a single layer to promote even roasting and caramelization.
- Place the casserole in the preheated oven and roast for 30-35 minutes, using a spatula to gently turn the mixture midway through cooking.
- Monitor the dish until potatoes become fork-tender and sausage develops a rich, golden-brown exterior.

Notes
- Check potato sizes for even cooking, ensuring uniform bite-sized pieces around 1-inch thick to guarantee consistent tenderness.
- Select high-quality smoked sausage like Kielbasa or Andouille for deeper flavor profiles that complement the vegetables.
- Consider using non-stick cooking spray before spreading ingredients to prevent sticking and ease cleanup after baking.
- Customize this dish by adding shredded cheese during the last 10 minutes of cooking for extra richness and golden-brown topping.
