This Kielbasa Sheet Pan Meal is my go-to for busy weeknights when I crave something hearty but need dinner on the table with minimal fuss. Savory kielbasa, plenty of colorful bell peppers, creamy potatoes, and a drizzle of spicy-sweet Asian Zing sauce all roast together for a truly satisfying bite. All you need is one sheet pan and a handful of simple ingredients.
The first time I made this, my kids devoured it and my husband went back for seconds. Now it is the meal I make when friends come over or when I need guaranteed smiles around the table.
Ingredients
- Beef kielbasa: Choose a quality smoked sausage for the best flavor and texture I like brands with a short ingredient list and no fillers
- Large potatoes: Yukon gold or russet both work Chop into small even cubes for even roasting
- Green bell peppers: Look for glossy skin and bright green color They add crunch and freshness
- Red onion: Adds light sweetness and pretty color slices should be about the same size as the peppers
- Olive oil: Helps everything roast up golden and crisp Use extra virgin for best flavor
- Salt pepper garlic powder paprika: Classic spices that create a deeply savory seasoning
- Buffalo Wild Wings Asian Zing sauce: Brings heat and tang but swap in your favorite sauce if you like less spice
- Chopped green onions: Bright flavor for garnish and a pop of green freshness
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prep the Kielbasa and Veggies:
- Slice the kielbasa into thin rounds Cut the bell peppers and red onion into pieces similar in size to each other Peel wash and chop the potatoes into small cubes This helps them soften faster as they roast
- Season the Potatoes:
- Place the chopped potatoes into a large mixing bowl Drizzle generously with olive oil Scatter on salt pepper garlic powder and paprika Toss well so every piece is coated evenly
- Combine with Peppers and Onions:
- Add the chopped peppers and red onion to the bowl with the seasoned potatoes Drizzle in a bit more olive oil and a light sprinkle of seasoning Toss again to make sure everything is seasoned and coated well
- Arrange on the Sheet Pan:
- Spray a large sheet pan with a light coating of cooking spray Spread out the potato and veggie mixture in an even layer Scatter the sliced kielbasa over the top
- Bake to Perfection:
- Roast in a hot oven at 400 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes At 30 minutes check for tenderness in the potatoes and a golden color Continue roasting up to 40 minutes until everything is caramelized and cooked through
- Finish and Serve:
- Just before serving drizzle everything with Buffalo Wild Wings Asian Zing sauce or leave some plain for anyone who prefers less heat Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot

How to Serve It
This sheet pan meal is perfect on its own but you can also serve it with fluffy white rice a big side salad or a simple side of crusty bread For parties I cut the sausage and veggies a bit smaller and serve them on toothpicks as a fun appetizer

Recipe FAQs
- → Can I use turkey or chicken sausage instead of beef kielbasa?
Yes, turkey or chicken sausage can be substituted for beef kielbasa. Adjust cook time as needed, since leaner sausages may brown faster.
- → What vegetables work well in this dish?
Potatoes, peppers, and onions are classic choices, but carrots, zucchini, or sweet potatoes also roast beautifully alongside kielbasa.
- → How do I keep the potatoes from sticking to the pan?
Coat the sheet pan with cooking spray and toss the potatoes well in olive oil before roasting to help prevent sticking.
- → Is the Asian Zing sauce necessary?
No, it's optional. The dish is flavorful on its own, but the sauce adds a spicy, tangy finish. BBQ sauce also works as a milder option.
- → How can I make cleanup easier?
Line the sheet pan with parchment paper or foil for quicker cleanup after roasting your kielbasa and vegetables.
