Ingredients
- Russet potatoes or Yukon Golds, cut into 1-inch pieces
- Green cabbage, cut into thick wedges
- Smoked beef sausage (like kielbasa), sliced into ½-inch rounds or lean ground beef
- Yellow onions, cut into thick wedges
- Bell peppers (any color), sliced into strips
- Olive oil
- Smoked paprika
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
- Chili powder
- Salt
- Black pepper
- Optional: cayenne pepper, brown sugar or maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large, sturdy rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Wash and scrub the potatoes, then cut them into roughly 1-inch chunks or wedges.
- Cut the green cabbage into thick 1-inch wedges, keeping a bit of the core intact.
- Peel and cut the onion into thick wedges or large pieces.
- Wash and slice the bell peppers into strips.
- If using smoked beef sausage, slice it into ½-inch thick rounds. If using ground beef, crumble it nicely.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato chunks, onion wedges, bell pepper strips, and sliced smoked beef sausage (or ground beef). Drizzle with 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Add optional spices if desired.
- Toss everything together until all ingredients are coated in oil and spices, then spread the mixture out onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
- Nestle the cabbage wedges among the other ingredients on the pan, cut-side down if possible.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes, carefully pull out the pan and flip or stir the potatoes, beef, and other veggies. Rearrange the cabbage wedges if needed, then return the pan to the oven for another 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender and the beef is browned.
- Once cooked, remove the sheet pan from the oven and serve hot.
