Print Recipe

A hearty one-pan dinner featuring smoked sausage, tangy sauerkraut, and sweet roasted apples, all cooked together on a single sheet pan for minimal cleanup and maximum flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ pounds smoked sausage or kielbasa
  • 1 ½ pounds sauerkraut, drained
  • 2 medium apples, cored and cut into ½-inch wedges
  • 1 medium yellow onion, sliced into half-moons
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
  • 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon caraway seeds (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)
  • Additional whole grain mustard for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  2. Cut the sausage into 2-inch pieces on a diagonal bias.
  3. Core the apples and cut into ½-inch wedges (do not peel). Slice the onion into ¼-inch thick half-moons.
  4. Drain the sauerkraut in a colander and gently squeeze out excess liquid.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, whole grain mustard, maple syrup, caraway seeds (if using), black pepper, and salt.
  6. Add the sausage, sauerkraut, apple wedges, and sliced onion to the bowl. Toss until everything is evenly coated.
  7. Spread the mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Roast for 20 minutes.
  9. Remove the pan from the oven and flip everything using tongs or a spatula. Return to the oven and roast for another 10-15 minutes, until the sausage is browned and the apples are tender and caramelized.
  10. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve with extra whole grain mustard.

Notes

For extra caramelization, broil the pan for 1-2 minutes at the end, watching closely to prevent burning. Use room temperature sausage for even cooking. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure proper roasting.
