Ingredients
- 8 oz smoked kielbasa, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup cauliflower florets
- 1/2 medium red bell pepper, sliced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray it with nonstick cooking spray.
- Place the broccoli florets, cauliflower florets, and sliced red bell pepper into a large mixing bowl.
- Drizzle the vegetables with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss well to ensure all veggies are evenly coated with oil and seasonings.
- Add the sliced smoked kielbasa to the bowl and gently toss or stir to combine with the seasoned vegetables.
- Spread the kielbasa and vegetable mixture out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure everything is spaced evenly for even roasting.
- Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and roast for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and slightly browned and the kielbasa is heated through and sizzling.
- Check for doneness by piercing the vegetables with a fork—they should be soft with lightly crisp edges.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let sit for 2 minutes before serving. Enjoy your healthy sheet pan dinner warm.

Storage Instructions
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. If you’d like to keep the meal longer, you can freeze it for up to 2 months. To freeze, cool the food completely and transfer it to a freezer-safe container or resealable freezer bag.
Reheating Instructions
For the best texture and flavor, reheat in a 350°F oven for about 10–15 minutes or until heated through. This helps maintain the roasted texture of the vegetables and kielbasa. You can also reheat in a skillet over medium heat for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Microwave reheating is also possible, but may result in softer vegetables.
Modifications and Add-Ins
To enhance both the nutrition and flavor of this dish while keeping it paleo-friendly, consider adding more fiber-rich non-starchy vegetables like zucchini, mushrooms, or Brussels sprouts. For extra protein, add sliced hard-boiled eggs or a handful of cooked chicken. Nutrient-dense additions like sweet potato cubes (for vitamin A and fiber) or kale (rich in micronutrients like vitamin K and C) can help round out the meal. Just be mindful to keep seasonings balanced to complement the smoky kielbasa.
