How to Make Sheet-Pan Sausage, Cabbage & Potatoes (Easy Weeknight Dinner)

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) to prepare for roasting. This hot temperature helps caramelize the veggies and sausage for a golden-brown finish.

Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a large rimmed baking sheet with heavy-duty foil for easy cleanup. This way, you can enjoy your delicious meal without worrying about stubborn stains.

Arrange Ingredients: Spread the sliced sausage, red potatoes, bell pepper strips, and chopped cabbage evenly over the lined baking sheet. Aim for a single layer to ensure even cooking.

Season and Toss: Drizzle the sausage and veggies with 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasonings. Gently toss everything together, making sure each piece is coated in the seasoning.

Roast and Roast: Place your sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when the potatoes are fork-tender, and everything is starting to turn a lovely golden brown, filling your kitchen with delightful aromas.

Serve and Enjoy: Remove the sheet pan from the oven and serve your flavorful meal immediately. Each bite is a celebration of roasted goodness that will have you coming back for seconds!

Storing & Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 hours. If you plan to keep them longer, pop them into the fridge for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze the meal for up to 3 months. When ready to enjoy again, simply reheat in a preheated oven at 350 degrees F for about 10-15 minutes, or until warmed through. Just a heads up: the cabbage might lose some crispness, but refresh your dish with a drizzle of olive oil before serving.

Chef’s Helpful Tips

Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet; this ensures everything roasts instead of steams, giving you that perfect caramelization.
If you prefer crunchy cabbage, add it midway through the roasting time to keep it from getting too soft.
Use room-temperature sausage for the best texture when they roast.
Feel free to swap out the red potatoes for sweet potatoes or baby potatoes for a different flavor.
Add your favorite fresh herbs at the end for an extra layer of flavor!

A flavorful, hearty meal doesn’t get easier than this. The Sheet-Pan Sausage, Cabbage & Potatoes has a way of warming you up and filling you up—all with minimal fuss. Don’t hesitate to mix it up with different veggies or spices according to your mood. Trust me, once you get the hang of this simple and satisfying dish, it’ll become a go-to in your weeknight rotation!

Recipe FAQs

Can I use a different type of sausage?

Absolutely! While kielbasa or smoked sausage works wonderfully, feel free to swap in your favorite sausage, including turkey or chicken sausage, for a lighter option.

How do I ensure the potatoes cook evenly?

Cut the potatoes into uniform 1-inch chunks to ensure they roast at the same rate. If you have larger pieces, they will take longer to cook through, potentially causing discrepancies in texture.

Can this dish be made ahead of time?

Yes! You can prep all the ingredients and store them in the fridge up to a day ahead. If you’re planning to roast them later, just add a little extra olive oil just before baking to ensure everything cooks well.

What should I serve with it?

This dish is hearty enough to stand alone, but if you like, pair it with a side salad or a slice of crusty bread to soak up all the delicious flavors!
