A quick and easy sheet pan dinner featuring crispy smoked kielbasa sausage roasted with colorful bell peppers and red onion, seasoned with smoked paprika and garlic powder for bold, smoky flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound smoked kielbasa sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
  • 3 medium bell peppers (red, yellow, orange), sliced into 1/2-inch strips
  • 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and allow it about 15 minutes to reach temperature.
  2. Slice the kielbasa sausage into 1/2-inch rounds, cutting on a slight diagonal if desired.
  3. Core and seed the bell peppers, then slice into 1/2-inch wide strips. Peel and thinly slice the red onion.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the kielbasa, bell peppers, and red onion. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss until well coated.
  5. Arrange the mixture in a single layer on a rimmed sheet pan, spreading out to avoid overcrowding.
  6. Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
  7. Using tongs or a spatula, carefully flip the kielbasa and vegetables to promote even browning.
  8. Return the pan to the oven and roast for an additional 8-10 minutes, until the kielbasa edges are browned and peppers are tender with slight char.
  9. Remove from oven and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley. Let rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure crispiness. Toss ingredients halfway through roasting for even browning. For extra crispiness, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end, watching closely. If peppers aren’t softening enough, add a teaspoon of water before roasting to create steam. Leftovers reheat best in a skillet or oven to maintain texture.
