Sheet Pan Sausage and Cabbage with Sauerkraut

Sheet Pan Sausage and Cabbage with Sauerkraut that only dirties a cutting board, knife, and one sheet pan.  This is easy Paleo food at its finest!

If you truly cannot handle that, Pin this baby for March.

I have a feeling if you are anything like me, you will totally forget about the fact that this is a bit “off-season” when you realize how simple and easy it really is.  Sheet pan meals are pretty much the best thing ever.  Heck, maybe I should just make this for Thanksgiving, too.

I kid… kind of?

AIP Paleo, Gluten-Free, Grain-Free, Dairy-Free, Egg-Free, Soy-Free, Nut-Free, Nightshade-Free, Whole 30

Serves 4

Ingredients

1 medium head of green cabbage
1 medium head of red cabbage
1/2 cup of extra virgin olive oil
2 tsp of fine sea salt
2 tsp of onion powder
2 tsp of garlic powder
4 chicken sausages (I used these chicken and apple sausages because they are Whole 30-approved)
1/2 cup of sauerkraut
1/4 cup packed of curly parsley, chopped

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.  Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

2. Cut the stems off of the cabbage and quarter the cabbage.  Then cut each quarter in half to make approximately eight cabbage pieces from each head.  Set on the baking sheets, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt, onion powder, and garlic powder.  Roast for 30 minutes.

3. Remove baking sheets from the oven, add sausages, bake for an additional 15 minutes.

4. Add sauerkraut to the baking sheets.  Cook for an additional three to five minutes, or until the sauerkraut is warm.  Sprinkle with parsley.

If you can tolerate eggs, a runny egg would be the perfect accompaniment to this dish!

P.S. Cook any leftovers that you have into this and thank me later.
