Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

1 13.5 ounce package smoked sausage
1/2 small white onion
1/2 small head cabbage
2 teaspoons cajun seasoning
olive oil (for drizzling)
1/4 cup mayo
1.5 teaspoons cajun seasoning
1-2 teaspoons hot sauce
2 teaspoons chopped dill pickle or pepperoncini pepper
1 tbsp finely minced green onion

Method

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Slice the half a head of cabbage into wedges. Brush each side with olive oil and sprinkle with 2 teaspoons of cajun seasoning. Place on the baking sheet.
Cut the smoked sausage into 4 sections and quarter the onion. Make small slits in the sausage pieces.
Add the sausage and onion to the sheet pan with the cabbage.
Bake for 20 minutes, then flip the ingredients and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cabbage reaches your desired tenderness.
While baking, combine 1/4 cup mayo, 1.5 teaspoons cajun seasoning, 1-2 teaspoons hot sauce, 2 teaspoons chopped dill pickle, and 1 tbsp finely minced green onion in a small bowl to make a dipping sauce.

Notes

– Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet; use two if necessary to ensure the cabbage and sausage get nicely browned and caramelized, not steamed.
– For perfectly tender-crisp cabbage, keep an eye on it during the last 10 minutes of baking. You’re looking for edges that are slightly charred and a fork-tender interior.
– If you prefer a spicier kick, increase the hot sauce in the dipping mayo. Conversely, for less heat, use a milder hot sauce or omit it entirely.
– Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave.
