Ingredients
All Steps
- 1
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- 2
In a large bowl, combine the quartered potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, half of the minced garlic, 0.25 teaspoon of salt, and 0.125 teaspoon of black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
- 3
Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on one side of the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 15 minutes.
- 4
While potatoes are roasting, in the same bowl (no need to wash), combine the sliced sausage with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, the rest of the minced garlic, dried rosemary, dried thyme, 0.25 teaspoon of salt, 0.125 teaspoon of black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Toss well.
- 5
After the potatoes have roasted for 15 minutes, add the seasoned sausage to the other side of the baking sheet, ensuring everything is in a single layer. Continue roasting for another 15 minutes.
- 6
Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Add the chopped kale to the baking sheet, drizzling it with a tiny bit more olive oil (if needed, just a splash) and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Toss the kale with the hot ingredients on the pan, allowing it to wilt and crisp slightly.
- 7
Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for another 8-10 minutes, or until the kale is tender-crisp, the potatoes are fork-tender, and the sausage is cooked through and slightly browned.

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve immediately.
