minutesKielbasa coins, cabbage wedges and potato chunks roast with caraway and mustard. This is the budget-friendly entry, and it feeds a crowd.
Ingredients
14 oz kielbasa, sliced into 1/2-inch coins
1 small head green cabbage, cut into 1-inch wedges
1 1/2 lb Yukon Gold potatoes, sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 yellow onion, cut into wedges
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
1 teaspoon caraway seeds
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Directions
- Heat the oven to 425°F and line two half sheet pans with parchment.
- Slice the potatoes evenly using a vegetable mandoline slicer for even cooking.
- Toss the potatoes and onion with 2 tablespoons of the oil, the caraway, half the salt and the pepper, and spread them on the first pan.
- Brush the cabbage wedges with the remaining oil, mustard, garlic powder and remaining salt on the second pan.
- Roast the potatoes for 15 minutes and the cabbage for 20 minutes.
- Add the kielbasa to the potato pan and stir.
- Roast both pans for 12 to 15 minutes more, until the potatoes are golden and the cabbage edges are browned.
- Sprinkle with the vinegar and parsley and serve hot.
Notes
- Cut the cabbage through the core so the wedges hold together. Red cabbage works too. Leftovers keep 4 days.
Why this pan feeds a crowd cheaply
Kielbasa is already smoked and seasoned, so a little goes a long way. Cabbage turns sweet at the browned edges, and the potatoes soak up the sausage fat. Two pans keep everything from steaming.
The caraway is the quiet star. It tastes like deli rye and makes cabbage and sausage taste like they were meant for each other. If your family dislikes it, leave it out and add a little extra mustard.
Swaps for Sheet Pan Kielbasa with Cabbage and Potatoes
Smoked turkey sausage works if you want it lighter. Brussels sprouts can replace the cabbage. Do not swap in waxy new potatoes sliced thick, because they stay firm and need much longer.
What goes alongside
Good rye bread and extra mustard on the table are all this needs. A crisp apple slaw on the side cuts the richness.
This pan costs little and stretches well. Add a side of apple sauce, and four people eat well with leftovers for lunch.
Storage and the usual slip
Reheat in a skillet so the potatoes crisp again. The slip is cutting cabbage wedges without the core, because the leaves fall apart and burn.
