Roasted Sausage with Cabbage

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large roasting pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

   Tip: A hot oven ensures the sausages brown beautifully while the cabbage caramelizes.

2. 2

   Arrange the sausages in the roasting pan and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Roast for 8 minutes until they begin to brown.

   Tip: Starting the sausages first allows them to render some fat for extra flavor.

3. 3

   While sausages cook, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil with minced garlic, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.

   Tip: This spice blend infuses the cabbage with deep, complex flavors.

4. 4

   Remove the pan from the oven and nestle the cabbage wedges and red onion around the sausages. Brush the vegetable mixture with the garlic-herb oil.

   Tip: Arrange cabbage cut-side down for better browning and caramelization.

5. 5

   Pour the vegetable broth around the vegetables and sausages. Return to the oven and roast for 20-25 minutes until the cabbage is tender and the sausages are cooked through.

   Tip: The broth prevents sticking and creates a light pan sauce.

6. 6

   Remove from oven and drizzle the mustard and apple cider vinegar over everything, tossing gently to combine.

   Tip: The acidity brightens the dish and cuts through the richness of the sausages.

7. 7

   Transfer to a serving platter and serve immediately while hot, spooning any pan juices over the top.

   Tip: This one-pan meal comes together beautifully and requires minimal cleanup.
