Ingredients

• 12 oz, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds smoked sausage links
• 2 cups, diced into 1-inch cubes red potatoes
• 1 cup, sliced diagonally into 1/2-inch pieces carrots
• 1 medium, cut into 1-inch wedges onion
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425°F. Toss 2 cups diced red potatoes, 1 cup sliced carrots, and 1 medium onion cut into wedges with 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp dried thyme, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper in a large bowl until evenly coated.
2. Step 2: Spread the vegetables evenly on a large sheet pan. Arrange 12 oz sliced smoked sausage rounds over the vegetables in a single layer.
3. Step 3: Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring the vegetables halfway through, until the potatoes are tender and golden, and the sausage edges are lightly crisped.
4. Step 4: Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
