Instructions
- Prep 14 ounces Kroger hardwood smoked Polska kielbasa sausage pork and beef link ($3.29/14 oz) by slicing into 1/2-inch rounds. Cut 1 pound Kroger russet potatoes from the 5-pound bag ($2.99/5 lb) into 3/4-inch chunks. Core and cut 1 pound green cabbage ($0.49/lb) into thick ribbons. Halve 8 ounces Kroger peeled baby carrots ($1.29/16 oz) lengthwise if large. Slice 1 medium jumbo yellow onion ($0.99/lb) and mince 3 garlic cloves from 1 garlic bulb ($0.79 each). Chop 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary ($2.49/0.5 oz) if using.
- Heat the oven to 425°F. On a large sheet pan or in a roasting dish, toss the 1 pound potatoes ($2.99/5 lb), 8 ounces baby carrots ($1.29/16 oz), and sliced 1 medium onion ($0.99/lb) with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon chopped rosemary ($2.49/0.5 oz). Roast for 15 minutes.
- Add the 1 pound cabbage ($0.49/lb), the minced 3 garlic cloves ($0.79 each bulb), and the sliced 14 ounces kielbasa ($3.29/14 oz) to the pan. Drizzle with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon vinegar, then toss carefully. Return to the oven and roast 20 to 25 minutes more, stirring once, until the potatoes are tender, the cabbage edges are browned, and the kielbasa is sizzling.
- Taste and season the full pan with a little more salt and black pepper if needed. If you want more color, broil for 1 to 2 minutes at the end.
- Serve the roasted kielbasa, cabbage, carrots, and potatoes hot straight from the pan. Mentioned wine pairing: Zinfandel or dry Rosé.
Cook time: 50 minutes
Estimated cost: $12-16
Health notes: About 650-750 calories per serving. Hearty and satisfying, with fiber from cabbage, carrots, and potatoes. To lighten it up, use a bit less sausage and add extra cabbage or carrots.
Drink pairing: A fruit-forward Zinfandel stands up to the smoky sausage, while a dry Rosé is a surprisingly good match if you want something fresher with the roasted vegetables.
