Sheet Pan Roasted Kielbasa and Cabbage Dinner
Description
Sheet Pan Roasted Kielbasa and Cabbage Dinner features slices of kielbasa, baby red potatoes, and cabbage pieces cooked together on a baking sheet. The kielbasa and potatoes are coated in olive oil and seasoned with salt and pepper, while the cabbage is cut into chunks and added to the pan to roast alongside. As everything roasts at 400ºF, the potatoes develop a slightly crisp exterior while remaining tender inside, the cabbage softens and caramelizes slightly, and the kielbasa develops a browned, flavorful crust.
Complemented by a mustard vinaigrette made from olive oil, red wine vinegar, stone ground mustard, garlic, salt, and cracked black pepper, this vinaigrette enhances the roasted vegetables and meat with a sharp, tangy contrast. The use of both roasted ingredients and a fresh vinaigrette balances textures and flavors in each bite.
This one-pan meal is practical and comforting, suited to an easy weekday dinner. The combination of sausage, potatoes, and cabbage provides protein, starch, and vegetable all in one dish, simplifying cleanup and preparation.
When preparing, make sure to clean the cabbage well and slice it evenly to ensure uniform roasting. The recipe uses a prepared mustard such as stone ground or Dijon for depth. Leftover vinaigrette can be stored separately and drizzled just before serving to maintain brightness.
Ingredients
MUSTARD VINAIGRETTE
- 1/4 cup olive oil $0.52
- 2 Tbsp red wine vinegar $0.20
- 1 Tbsp mustard $0.08, stone ground or whole grain
- 1 garlic $0.08, small clove, crushed or minced
- 1/4 tsp salt $0.02
- black pepper $0.03, freshly cracked
ROASTED KIELBASA AND VEGETABLES
- 1/2 lb kielbasa $1.60
- 1 lb red potatoes $1.63, baby
- 1/2 cabbage $1.02, head
- 2 Tbsp olive oil $0.26, divided
- salt $0.05, pinch
- black pepper $0.05, pinch
- parsley $0.22, handful, chopped, fresh
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF. In a small bowl whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, mustard, crushed garlic, salt, and freshly cracked pepper for the vinaigrette. Set the vinaigrette aside.
- Slice the kielbasa into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Wash the potatoes well and slice them into 1/4-inch rounds as well. Place the kielbasa and potatoes on a large baking sheet and drizzle with 1 Tbsp olive oil. Toss the kielbasa and potatoes in the oil until they are well coated and the surface of the baking sheet is also covered in oil. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper over top.
- Remove any dirty or damaged leaves from the cabbage. Cut the stem off the cabbage, then cut it in half. Reserve one half for a different recipe. Slice the remaining half into 1-inch wide slices. Cut each slice into two pieces. Place the cabbage pieces on the baking sheet with the kielbasa and potatoes, nestling them down so that they are laying flat on the baking sheet.
- Brush the remaining 1 Tbsp olive oil over the surface of the cabbage pieces and add a final pinch of salt and pepper to each.
- Roast the kielbasa, potatoes, and cabbage in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and carefully flip the kielbasa, potatoes, and cabbage pieces. The cabbage may fall apart a bit as it's flipped, which is okay. Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender and the edges are slightly brown and crispy. The kielbasa and potato slices should be well browned.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and top with fresh chopped parsley and a drizzle of the mustard vinaigrette. Serve warm.
Notes
- Use prepared stone ground or whole grain mustard for the vinaigrette; Dijon can be substituted if needed.
- Ensure the cabbage is washed thoroughly and remove any damaged leaves before roasting.
- The recipe uses half a head of cabbage, about 1.5 lbs if the whole head weighs 3 lbs; save the other half for another use.
