Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 8 links chicken sausage
Vegetables and Fruits:
- 8 cups shredded cabbage
- 1 white onion, sliced
- 1 apple, sliced
Seasonings and Oils:
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) olive oil
- 1 ½ tablespoons (22.5 milliliters) white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon (5 grams) salt
- ½ teaspoon (2.5 grams) ground black pepper
Instructions
- Heat oven to 425°F and lightly coat a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Slice cabbage, apple, and onion into uniform pieces to ensure even roasting and consistent texture.
- In a mixing bowl, toss vegetables and apple with olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper, ensuring each piece is evenly seasoned and glistening.
- Arrange the vegetable mixture in a single, spread-out layer on the prepared baking sheet, allowing space between pieces for proper caramelization.
- Roast the vegetable mixture for 20 minutes, stirring once halfway through to promote even cooking and prevent burning.
- Carefully position chicken sausages atop the partially roasted vegetables, nestling them into the mixture.
- Continue baking for an additional 10 minutes until sausages develop a crispy exterior and vegetables turn golden brown and tender.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 3-5 minutes to allow flavors to meld and temperatures to stabilize before serving.
Notes
- Swap sausage types freely, like turkey or plant-based options for different dietary needs or flavor preferences.
- Cut vegetables into uniform sizes to ensure even roasting and prevent burning or uneven cooking.
- Drizzle extra balsamic vinegar or honey after roasting for enhanced depth of flavor and slight sweetness.
- Use parchment paper for easier cleanup and to prevent sticking, especially when caramelizing vegetables.
