Perfect for weeknights or a rustic fall-inspired dinner, this recipe is both wholesome and satisfying.

Ingredients:

  • 4 chicken sausages (mild or spicy, to taste)

  • 1/2 head green cabbage, roughly chopped

  • 2 medium apples, sliced (Honeycrisp or Granny Smith work well)

  • 1 large onion, sliced

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar

  • 1 tbsp whole grain mustard

  • 1 tsp thyme (dried or fresh)

  • 1 tsp paprika

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. Prepare the pan: On a large baking sheet, toss the cabbage, onions, and apples with olive oil, vinegar, mustard, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper until well coated.

  3. Add sausage: Nestle the chicken sausages on top of the cabbage mixture.

  4. Roast for 30–35 minutes, flipping sausages halfway through, until they are browned and the cabbage is tender and caramelized.

  5. Serve warm, straight from the pan, with a drizzle of pan juices over the top.

Would you like me to also give you a variation using smoked sausage instead of chicken sausage for a deeper flavor?
