Cook Time: 30 mins
Total Time: 40 mins
Cuisine: Eastern European
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 package frozen perogies
- 1 pound smoked sausage, sliced
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a large rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- Slice the smoked sausage into 1/2-inch thick diagonal pieces. Cut the bell pepper and onion into uniform slices, approximately 1/4-inch thick.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced sausage, bell pepper, and onion. Drizzle with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Toss to ensure even coating.
- Spread the frozen perogies directly onto the sheet pan, keeping them in a single layer without overcrowding. Arrange the seasoned sausage, peppers, and onions around the perogies.
- Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes. Flip the perogies and stir the sausage and vegetables halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
- Check that the perogies are golden and crispy, and the sausage is heated through with slight caramelization on the edges.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 3-5 minutes. Serve hot, optionally garnishing with fresh chopped parsley or green onions.
Tips
- Don't Overcrowd the Pan: Ensure your perogies and vegetables have enough space to crisp up properly. Use a large sheet pan and spread ingredients in a single layer.
- Frozen is Fine: No need to thaw the perogies beforehand. They'll crisp up beautifully directly from frozen.
- Customize Your Flavor: Experiment with different types of sausage like kielbasa, bratwurst, or andouille for varied taste profiles.
- For Extra Crispiness: Pat the perogies dry before placing them on the sheet pan to help them achieve a golden, crispy exterior.
- Garnish Options: Fresh herbs like parsley or chives can add a bright, fresh finish to this hearty dish.
- Make It a Complete Meal: Serve with a side of sour cream or a quick side salad to round out the dinner.
