Ingredients
For the Sheet Pan
- 1/2 head cabbage, thinly sliced
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup oil
- 1 pound kielbasa, sliced
- 1 (24 count) package frozen pierogis
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp Cajun seasoning
- 2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
- 2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
- 3 Tbsp honey
For the Creamy Dill Sauce
- 1 Tbsp freshly chopped dill
- 1 Tbsp freshly chopped parsley
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- Salt & Pepper, to taste
Instructions
1. Preheat & Prepare
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
2. Toss the Veggies
In a large bowl, toss the sliced cabbage and onions with oil, paprika, and Cajun seasoning. Spread them evenly across the sheet pan.
3. Add Kielbasa and Pierogis
Scatter the sliced kielbasa and frozen pierogis over the top of the cabbage mixture. Drizzle lightly with a little more oil if needed.
4. Make the Honey Dijon Glaze
In a small bowl, whisk together the red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey. Pour half the glaze over the sheet pan ingredients and toss gently to coat.
5. Roast
Place in the oven and roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping the pierogis halfway through, until golden and crisp on the edges.
6. Prepare the Creamy Dill Sauce
While everything roasts, whisk together sour cream, dill, parsley, garlic powder, and onion powder in a small bowl. Chill until ready to serve.
7. Finish & Serve
Once roasted, drizzle the remaining glaze over the pierogis and kielbasa. Serve hot with the creamy dill sauce for dipping.
Tips & Tricks
- Don’t thaw the pierogis. They crisp up better from frozen!
- Add more veggies. Bell peppers, carrots, or Brussels sprouts work great in this recipe.
- Make it spicy. Add crushed red pepper or use spicy kielbasa.
- Storage: Store leftovers for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for best texture.
FAQs
Can I use homemade pierogis?
Absolutely! Just reduce the roasting time slightly since fresh pierogis cook faster than frozen ones.

Can I air fry this?
Yes! Cook in batches at 400°F for 12–15 minutes, shaking halfway through.
Serving Suggestions
