Roasted Cabbage and Sausage Recipe
I found a fair amount of cabbage and sausage recipes made on the stove in a pan, but hardly any made on a sheet pan. I love sheet pan recipes! They’re super easy for cleanup purposes and all you do is just pop the sheet pan in the oven, bake it, and dinner is ready.
Ingredients:
- Cabbage: Plain green cabbage, cut into wedges. Make sure the wedges are the same size for consistency!
- Sausage: I have used a variety of sausages for this meal. My absolute favorite are Aidell’s Chicken Apple Sausages. They’re healthy, with whole ingredients, and consistent. If you have a Sprouts near you, I love the Chicken Spinach Feta sausages. Not sure what to buy? You can read about different sausage brands here.
- Onions: White or yellow works great. Cut into wedges.
- Marinade: For a little extra flavor, I make a simple marinade to brush over the cabbage wedges. Olive oil, apple cider vinegar, dijon, garlic, and some herbs really amp this one up.
Cut Sausage Consistently for the Best Results
When I cut the sausage, I like to cut it at a bias, which results in larger, heartier pieces of sausage. Also, I find that this yields larger pieces which makes it go a little further!
For the marinade, you can really add any herbs you like. I used a mixture of dill, and parsley. Tarragon, sage, thyme and rosemary would also work!
Basting Cabbage for More Flavor
After basting the cabbage, I drizzle any excess all over the entirety of the sausage and cabbage. Next, bake it for about 20 minutes at 400 degrees. I sometimes like to go a little extra for additional char on the cabbage, but that’s up to the chef.
Easy Low Carb High Protein Dinner
Finally, the end result is an easy dinner with all of the elements, protein, vegetables, and flavor! When I serve this, I love it with plain white rice, or even mashed potatoes for a heartier dinner.
