When you’ve got less than half an hour to get dinner on the table, a sausage sheet-pan dinner will always be there for you. With crispy mini potatoes and hearty greens that are roasted in a sweet-tart mustard dressing, this one’s an easy crowd-pleaser.

Recipe information

  • Total Time

    25 minutes

  • Yield

    4 servings

Ingredients

1½ lb. micro potatoes (about 1" in diameter) or new potatoes, cut into 1" pieces
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1¾ tsp. kosher salt, divided
½ tsp. freshly ground black pepper, divided
1 lb. (about 4 links) uncooked sweet or spicy Italian sausage
3 Tbsp. sherry or red wine vinegar
1½ tsp. Dijon mustard
1½ tsp. honey
1 large bunch Tuscan kale or collard greens, stems removed, leaves torn into large pieces

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 450°F. Toss potatoes, 2 Tbsp. oil, 1 tsp. salt, and ¼ tsp. pepper on an 18x13" rimmed baking sheet. Prick sausages all over with a sharp knife, then nestle among potatoes. Roast, turning sausage and tossing potatoes halfway through, until potatoes are lightly browned and just barely fork-tender and sausage is just cooked through, 12–14 minutes.

    Step 2

    Meanwhile, whisk vinegar, mustard, honey, and remaining 6 Tbsp. olive oil, ¾ tsp. salt, and ¼ tsp. pepper in a large bowl. Pour about ¼ cup dressing into a small bowl or pitcher and reserve for serving. Toss greens in remaining (about 2 Tbsp.) dressing, using your hands to massage dressing evenly into leaves.

    Step 3

    Scatter dressed leaves in an even layer over sausage and potatoes. Roast, tossing greens halfway through, until greens are tender and charred in places, 3–5 minutes.

    Step 4

    Separate sausage, potatoes, and greens into sections to serve, if desired, or toss all together. Serve with reserved dressing alongside.
