A comforting, one-pan dinner featuring smoky kielbasa, sweet roasted cabbage, and golden potatoes. This easy recipe delivers hearty flavor and crispy textures with minimal prep and cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 14 oz kielbasa sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch coins
  • 1 medium head green cabbage (about 2 lbs), cored and cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 1.5 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 large yellow onion (about 8 oz), sliced into thick wedges
  • 2 medium carrots (about 6 oz), peeled and cut into coins (optional)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp dried thyme (or Italian seasoning)
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash and prep potatoes, cabbage, carrots, and onion. Cut potatoes into 1-inch cubes, cabbage into 1-inch chunks, carrots into coins, and onion into thick wedges.
  3. Slice kielbasa into 1/2-inch coins.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine potatoes, cabbage, carrots, and onion. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, pepper, thyme, smoked paprika, and minced garlic. Toss until evenly coated.
  5. Spread the veggie mixture evenly on a rimmed sheet pan. Nestle kielbasa slices throughout, keeping everything in a single layer.
  6. Roast for 25 minutes. Halfway through, use tongs to toss everything gently for even cooking.
  7. Continue roasting for another 15-20 minutes, until potatoes are golden and fork-tender, cabbage is caramelized, and kielbasa is sizzling.
  8. Remove from oven, toss everything gently in pan juices, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve hot.

Notes

For extra crispy edges, broil for 2 minutes at the end. Don’t overcrowd the pan—use two pans if needed. Pat veggies dry before tossing with oil for best crispiness. Substitute potatoes with cauliflower for a low-carb version, or use plant-based sausage for vegetarian adaptation. Leftovers keep well and taste even better the next day.
