Directions
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean-up.
2. On the prepared baking sheet, spread the cabbage slices and quartered red potatoes. Toss with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until everything is evenly coated.
3. Nestle the slices of sausage among the cabbage and potatoes, ensuring that everything is in a single layer for even cooking.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the edges of the cabbage are starting to crisp up and turn golden brown.
5. Give everything a good stir halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
6. Once done, remove from the oven, taste, and adjust seasoning if necessary. Sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor right before serving.
Variations & Tips
– For a delightful twist, switch up your sausages – try spicy Italian, garlic, or even chicken apple for a lighter touch.
– Not a fan of potatoes? Swap them out for sweet potatoes or root veggies like parsnips or carrots for a different flavor profile.
– Add a splash of balsamic vinegar or a sprinkle of brown sugar to the cabbage before roasting for a touch of tangy sweetness.
– If you are prepping ahead, chop your veggies and store them in the fridge. When mealtime approaches, simply toss them onto the pan and bake!
– For those extra-busy nights, consider cutting your ingredients a bit smaller to shave a few minutes off the cooking time.
– And remember, with sheet pan recipes, it’s all about layering flavors and textures, so don’t be afraid to experiment with herbs, spices, and whatever you have on hand to make this dish uniquely yours.
