02 - Place cabbage, halved baby potatoes, sliced carrots, and sliced onion into a large roasting pan or deep baking dish.
03 - Drizzle olive oil over the vegetables and sprinkle smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Toss thoroughly to ensure even coating.
04 - Distribute sausage pieces evenly over the vegetables, then add minced garlic.
05 - Pour the broth evenly across the pan. If using, add dollops of whole grain mustard on top.
06 - Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.

08 - Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the dish before serving.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Everything cooks in one pan, which means less scrubbing and more time to relax with a glass of wine.
  • The cabbage turns sweet and golden at the edges, soaking up all the smoky flavors from the sausage.
  • It tastes even better the next day, making it perfect for meal prep or lazy lunches.
02 -
  • Don't skip covering the pan with foil in the first stage, or the cabbage will dry out before it gets tender.
  • Stir gently after removing the foil so the vegetables stay in chunky pieces instead of turning into mush.
  • If your sausages are already very fatty, you can reduce the olive oil to 2 tablespoons.
03 -
  • Use a pan large enough to spread everything in a single layer, crowding leads to steaming instead of roasting.
  • Let the dish rest for five minutes after baking so the flavors settle and the juices redistribute.
  • If you want extra crispy potatoes, toss them separately with a bit more oil and place them cut-side down.
