Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound frozen pierogies (potato and cheese or your choice)
- 4 sausage links (Italian, kielbasa, or smoked sausage), sliced into rounds
- 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium red onion, sliced
Seasoning & Garnish
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Sour cream, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it to prevent sticking.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the frozen pierogies, sliced sausage rounds, sliced red and yellow bell peppers, and sliced red onion. Drizzle everything with olive oil and sprinkle with smoked paprika, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to evenly coat all the ingredients with the oil and spices.
- Roast: Spread the mixture out evenly on the prepared baking sheet to avoid overcrowding. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, making sure to flip the pierogies and stir the vegetables halfway through cooking. This ensures the pierogies become golden brown and the sausages cook through perfectly.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve hot, accompanied by sour cream if desired for a creamy contrast.
Notes
- You can use any sausage variety you like; kielbasa or smoked sausage add a nice smoky flavor.
- Frozen pierogies do not need to be thawed before cooking.
- Flipping halfway through cooking is important for even browning and cooking.
- Optional sour cream adds a cool and creamy element that complements the spices perfectly.
- Vegetables can be varied according to preference, such as adding mushrooms or zucchini.
