Roasted Garlic Potatoes & Sausage

Ingredients

• 12oz package of Richard's Premium Smoked Pork Sausage
• 1lb baby red potatoes, halved
• 8oz baby carrots
• 1 tsp dried basil
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• Salt and cracked pepper, to taste
• 1/4 cup olive oil, separated
• 2 cups asparagus, chopped
• 1/2 yellow onion, sliced
• 1 Tbsp garlic, minced
• 1/3 cup parmesan, freshly grated
• Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a very large sheet pan with parchment paper or foil for easier clean-up (optional).
2. Halve the baby red potatoes (or cube if they are larger). In a small bowl, mix together all of the seasonings: dried basil, thyme, oregano, paprika, onion powder, and salt + pepper (I use a heaping 1/4 teaspoon of each). Mix together.
3. Place the halved red potatoes and baby carrots on the sheet pan. Pour 2 tablespoons olive oil and half of the seasoning mix on top. Toss to combine and place in the oven for 20 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, prepare the asparagus by trimming the ends and cutting into 2 inch pieces. Thinly slice the yellow onion. Coin the Premium Smoked Sausage.
5. Remove the potatoes and carrots from the oven and using a spatula, push them to one side of the pan. On the other side, add in the chopped asparagus, sliced onion, Premium Smoked Sausage, and minced garlic. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and remaining seasoning mix. Toss to combine and then toss those ingredients with the potatoes and carrots.
6. Bake for another 10-15 minutes or until veggies are roasted to your desired preference. Top the dish with freshly grated parmesan and fresh parsley as desired.
7. Enjoy immediately.
