This sheet-pan dinner of roasted kielbasa, caramelized cabbage and white beans marinated in a dill-and-red wine vinaigrette comes together in about a half-hour. There are many different types of kielbasa, but the smoked version typically found at American grocery stores is horseshoe-shaped and, when roasted, tastes a little like pepperoni. Feel free to play around with substitutions: You can use green or red cabbage for the Savoy, though the leaves won’t get quite as frizzled and golden. Instead of dill, chives or parsley can bring freshness. Instead of shallot, use scallions, red-pepper flakes or grated garlic for sharp heat. Instead of mustard, you could use horseradish, chopped pickles or sauerkraut for briny acidity.

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat oven to 450 degrees. Add the cabbage to a rimmed baking sheet and toss with olive oil, salt and pepper to coat. Arrange in an even layer, then scatter the kielbasa on top. Roast without flipping until cabbage is tender and charred in spots and the kielbasa is deeply golden, 25 to 30 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, stir together ¼ cup olive oil with the vinegar, dill, shallot, mustard, 2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper. Add the beans and stir to combine.

  3. Step 3

    Divide the cabbage and sausage among plates and spoon the beans and vinaigrette on top.

Love every Ali Slagle recipe, this one included. After reading the comments, I settled on this approach, which worked well: - Gave the cabbage a 10-minute head start before adding the kielbasa. - Cut the salt in the bean dressing to 1 tsp. - Pulled out the pan at 25 minutes, turned off the oven, spooned the beans over the cabbage and kielbasa, and let it all sit in the warm turned-off oven for five minutes. Easy and delicious!

By happenstance came to same thoughts on salt on the kielbasa and cabbage (just pinches) and lining with foil for cleanup. Having done this several times now with what's on-hand, the dill is really a noticeable but subtle enhancement. For me, I pull the sheet at 25 min, spoon the beans and vinaigrette on top, then turn off the oven but put the sheet back in for 5 min before removing to serve - fantastic.

Tasty Cabbage Fix

Very good. At 25 minutes the cabbage was perfect, but the kielbasa was a bit overcooked. I would cut the kielbasa thicker next time, say an inch thick instead of a half. Line the pan with aluminum foil to ease clean up.

This was a very easy, sensational one sheet pan dinner. I used Hispi (Sugarloaf) cabbage and benign Toulouse sausages which I had in the freezer. Shaved some Parmesan over the finished dish. We ate the lot! Thanks to ChrisforChristine for his directions in the Comments. Followed them exactly. My granddaughters will love this!

Natalie

The dish is one of the best tasting/lowest effort meals I've ever made. I took the author's advice and substituted items on hand. Squeezed chunks of garlic pork sausage out of the casing in place of the kielbasa and used basil instead of dill. Followed everything else exactly as written.

I just made this and it is fantastic! I really appreciated the comments about the amount of salt. In fact, I used just a shake or two, I prefer to add salt when served. The other thing I thought was overpowering was the red wine vinegar. I will cut that by a tablespoon or so next time. Also loved the tips about warming the sauce in the turned off oven. Great recipe.
