We enjoy oven-roasted vegetables, and cabbage is one of our favorites. We often roast slices of cabbage with chopped bacon and olive oil drizzled over the top. Today I made roasted kielbasa and cabbage.
Oven-Roasted Kielbasa and Cabbage
Serves 4-6. Depends on if you serve it on its own or add sides.
2 14-oz. packages of kielbasa sausage (We use Hillshire Farms Polska Kielbasa)
1 head of green cabbage
Bacon grease or olive oil or butter
salt and pepper
Line a large cookie sheet with aluminum foil.
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Slice the kielbasa into half inch slices. Or bigger, if you like.
- Slice the cabbage into 1″ slices.
- Lay the cabbage on the cookie sheet. Spread it with a few tablespoons of bacon grease or butter, or drizzle olive oil over it.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Spread the kielbasa slices over and around the cabbage.

Bake on center rack at 400°F for about 45 minutes, stirring or turning the sausage about half way, if you want to.
Serve warm with some crusty toasted bread or with a side of fresh garden salad. Corn on the cob would be good, too. It stands alone as a filling meal, though, and doesn’t need the extras unless they appeal to you.
This is one of our favorite meals. Delicious for the fall season. Good all winter!
I slice the cabbage horizontally, with the stem in the middle. No need to cut out the stem. After roasting, it is tender and tasty.
