- large shallow roasting pan or sheet pan
Ingredients
- 1.1 pounds Polish kiełbasa see *Notes
- 4 medium potatoes
- 2 medium red onions
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 medium zucchini/courgette
- 2-2½ teaspoons herbes de Provence
- 2½ tablespoons olive oil
- ⅓ teaspoon fine sea salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 425F/220C/gas mark 7. You will need a large shallow roasting pan or sheet pan approx. 10ʺ/14ʺ.
- Prepare kiełbasa: Cut the kiełbasa into approx. 3-inch pieces and score one side (use a crisscross pattern).TIP: If you have individual sausages you do not need to cut them into smaller pieces (but don’t forget to score the tops).
- Prepare vegetables: Peel the potatoes and cut into thick wedges. Place in a bowl lined with a paper towel and wipe the potatoes to remove excess moisture. Peel and cut the onions into 6-8 wedges each. Cut the pepper lengthways into about 8 strips and discard the seeds. Cut the zucchini in half then lengthways into thick strips. Place all vegetables in a large bowl.
- Season vegetables: Add the herbs and seasoning and drizzle the oil over the vegetables. Stir thoroughly.
- Assemble: Tip the vegetables into your oven pan and spread evenly in a single layer. Tuck the kiełbasa pieces (scored side up) into the mixture.
- Bake: Place in the centre of the oven and bake for about 45 minutes or until the potatoes are fully cooked. Remove from the oven and serve!TIP: If you want your pepper and zucchini to have a firmer texture add them into the pan 15 minutes later than the other ingredients.
Notes

- Wipe the potato wedges before seasoning to remove excess moisture.
- If you want your pepper and zucchini to have a firmer texture add them to the pan 15 minutes later than the other ingredients.
- Best served immediately. Leftover kiełbasa bake can be refrigerated for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave or enjoy as a cold snack.
