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.

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.

asty, easy and not much cleanup. Cut the kielbasa to 3/4-1 inch, otherwise, it will dry out. This only took 30 minutes in a 450 oven, and the cabbage got soft on the inside and crispy on the outside (perfect). Use savoy cabbge b/c it has a softer texture than other cabbages, so cooks faster and chars better. I doubled the amount of dill and it was perfect. Dressing was great. If you want a hot dish, heat up the beans in the microwave for 1-2 minutes.

Excellent recipe. I used parsley I had on hand instead of dill. I think I will make the bean salad on its own too. You could use this mixed in with any number of cooked grains for a protein forward salad too.

I agree with others that there was too much salt and thankfully I cut it way down before cooking. Husband said, "Now, that's a dinner I could have every week?" I also added some wedges of potato to the roasting pan.
