Lots of veggies in this dish!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

One day I was thinking of my mother’s backbone or country style ribs with kraut and next thing I knew I had the idea of baking smoked sausage and instead of using kraut use cabbage and then as I dove deeper, getting lost in the internet, I came across a couple of sites that had sheet pan dinners and one that caught my eye was from Chelsea’s Messy Apron blog. I did change a few things when I added some of our garden ripe tomatoes and some purple kale to go along with the cabbage, carrots, onions and the Kielbasa sausage. <\/p>\n

Back to my mother’s kraut and ribs. I’m sure all of you can envision certain things your mother (or dads) made and I think my memories or best when it comes to food.  I can smell her kraut, ribs, mashed potatoes just thinking about them. And, I knew the cornbread going with that dinner was going to be the best cornbread I ever ate.  I can think about foods we have on trips or dinner parties and all those menus trigger things about the trip\/restaurant\/dinners that I might not remember otherwise. I can tell you almost every restaurant we have eaten at on trips because I journal them and if it is from a restaurant, I guarantee you that I will try to get the recipe from the chef and several times I’ve succeeded.<\/p>\n

So this recipe, of course, was pretty simple. I don’t know who started calling “sheet pan dinners” by that name but we have been putting a bunch of food on a sheet pan for decades and just calling it “dinner”. I do like the cleanup for making things on a sheet pan though. Prepping is the messiest but that can nbe done day before or early morning of when you want to make your all in one dish.<\/p>\n

I decided to add the purple kale that I had removed the stems and then massaged (yes ,massaged) with a little olive oil when I added the sausage and cabbage and guess what? I ended up with crispy kale an it was crunchy, spicy and deliccious.<\/p>\n

BLAST FROM THE PAST:<\/strong> <\/span> I love my book I keep of all my post since 2009. I can go back and revisit recipe and suggest some to you that have become favorites. This Potato ane Arugula Salad<\/a> was posted back in September 2009 and has had almost 7,000 vies.  It’s a nice salad if you like arugula and new potatoes and will go very nicely with your summer bbq<\/p>\n

Mustard sauce ingredients. This sauce really makes the dish.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

All the ingredients ready to be whisked up.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Refrigerate until ready to serve.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Get everything prepped.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Take the larger stems off the kale and add about one tablespoon olive oil and massage the greens for about 2 minutes.<\/p>\n

\"\"Put the potatoes, onions, carrots and tomatoes and roast about 20 minutes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Add the sausage, shredded cabbage and kale and roast another 20 minutes.  <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Roast until the potatoes and cabbage are tender. The kale will be crispy when it first comes out of the oven.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Plate and drizzle some of the mustard sauce over dish.<\/p>\n

      Halve the baby potatoes. Slice all your other ingredients and set aside. Keep the kale and sausage separate from the other vegetables because you will add that at the last cooking.<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

      Add potatoes, onion, tomatoes, and carrots to the sheet pan. Pour 2 tablespoons oil and half the seasoning mix on top. Toss well to coat, then space out and bake in the fully heated oven for 20 mins.<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

      After the first bake, remove the tray from the oven. Stir the veggies and top with the sausage slices, cabbage, and kale remaining seasoning mix, and the last tablespoon of olive oil. Mix well, then combine everything on the sheet pan, spreading the ingredients evenly. Avoid overlapping.<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

      Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 10\u201320 minutes, or until the veggies are roasted to your liking. For a crispier finish, broil for 1 minute, watch closely to prevent burning. <\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
