• Italian Sausage (mild or hot)

  8 oz
• Baby Potatoes

  1 lb
• Kale (destemmed, chopped)

  5 oz
• Red Onion (thinly sliced)

  0.5 medium
• Garlic (minced)

  2 cloves

  0.5 tsp
• Black Pepper

  0.3 tsp
• Red Pepper Flakes (optional)

  0.3 tsp

All Steps

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. 2

   Dice the baby potatoes into 1-inch pieces. Thinly slice the red onion. In a large bowl, combine the diced potatoes, sliced red onion, 1 tbsp olive oil, 0.25 tsp salt, and 0.125 tsp black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

3. 3

   Spread the seasoned potatoes and onion in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Roast for 15 minutes.

4. 4

   While the potatoes roast, remove the Italian sausage from its casings (if using links) and break it into bite-sized pieces.

5. 5

   After 15 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Add the sausage pieces and minced garlic to the baking sheet. Sprinkle with the remaining 0.25 tsp salt and 0.125 tsp black pepper. Toss everything together.

6. 6

   Return to the oven and roast for another 15-20 minutes, or until the sausage is cooked through and the potatoes are tender and lightly browned.

7. 7

   Add the chopped kale and optional red pepper flakes to the baking sheet. Toss everything again, ensuring the kale is mixed in with the hot ingredients.

8. 8

   Return to the oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the kale is slightly wilted but still vibrant.

9. 9

   Serve immediately and enjoy your hearty one-pan meal!
