Ingredients
- 1 pound baby red potatoes, halved or quartered
- 2 cups petite baby carrots
- 1 bunch asparagus, ends trimmed
- ½ large yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 13 ounces pork kielbasa, sliced into rounds
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- ¼ cup olive oil (divided)
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and cracked pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare the Baking Sheet:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
- Season the Potatoes and Carrots:
- In a small bowl, mix together dried basil, thyme, oregano, paprika, onion powder, salt, and cracked pepper.
- Spread the baby red potatoes and petite baby carrots on the baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle half of the herb mixture over the top.
- Toss to coat evenly.
- Start Baking:
- Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 20 minutes. This ensures the potatoes and carrots soften before adding the other ingredients.
- Add Asparagus, Onion, and Kielbasa:
- Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Push the potatoes and carrots to one side of the pan.
- Add the asparagus, sliced onion, and kielbasa rounds to the empty side of the pan. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil and sprinkle with the remaining herb mixture and minced garlic.
- Toss gently to coat.
- Finish Baking:
- Spread all ingredients evenly across the sheet pan. Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the kielbasa is browned.
- Serve:
- Remove the pan from the oven and serve warm directly from the sheet pan for a rustic presentation. Enjoy!
Notes
