How to Make Cozy One Pan Cabbage, Potatoes, and Sausage Bake

Step 1: Prepare and Preheat

Set your oven to 400°F and let it fully heat. Grab a large 15×21-inch sheet pan size matters here to get everything deliciously roasted, not steamed.

Step 2: Chop and Mix Your Veggies

Cut your baby potatoes into 1-inch pieces, and thinly slice half a large yellow onion. In a small bowl, whisk together the basil, oregano, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. This simple blend packs the veggies with herby, cozy flavor.

Step 3: Roast the First Layer

Scatter your potatoes, sliced onions, and baby carrots onto the sheet pan. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with half the seasoning. Toss everything together right on the tray, spreading everything out for even roasting. Slide into the hot oven for 20 minutes. Roasting brings out the veggies’ natural sweetness and golden edges.

Step 4: Add Cabbage and Sausage

Once the first bake is up, pull the pan from the oven. Give the veggies a stir, then push them to one side. On the other half, add your sausage coins, cabbage, remaining seasoning, and the last tablespoon of olive oil. Mix right on the pan, then spread all the ingredients out evenly—this step builds layers of texture and flavor in every bite.

Step 5: Finish Roasting and Broil

Step 6: Garnish and Serve

As soon as it’s out, shower everything with freshly grated Parmesan and a sprinkle of parsley. In a small bowl, whisk together all the Dijonnaise sauce ingredients. Drizzle liberally as you dish up the sauce ties everything together with a bright, tangy kick.
