Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2
Prepare the cabbage by removing any wilted outer leaves. Cut the cabbage in half, then cut out the core. Slice one half of the cabbage into 1-inch thick 'steaks'.
3
Add the peeled and chunked sweet potatoes to a large baking dish or sheet pan.
4
Nestle the cabbage steaks in between the sweet potatoes, ensuring the vegetables are in a single layer and have contact with the pan.
5
Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil and sprinkle generously with your all-purpose seasoning. Use your hands to toss everything together to coat.
6
Slice the smoked sausage into rounds and add them to the pan, tucking them into any available spaces.
7
Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the sweet potatoes are tender.
8
Remove the pan from the oven. Place a small pat of butter on top of each cabbage steak.
9
Grate fresh Parmesan cheese over the entire pan.
10
Return the pan to the oven and bake for another 5 minutes to melt the butter and cheese.
11
Remove from the oven and serve immediately.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Pat vegetables dry before roasting to encourage browning and caramelization on the edges.
Cut sweet potatoes into uniform chunks so they cook evenly and finish at the same time as the cabbage.
Stir the pan halfway through cooking to ensure even heat distribution and prevent bottom-side burning.
Add butter and Parmesan in the last 2 minutes of cooking so the cheese doesn't scorch and butter stays vibrant.

Substitutions

Smoked sausage → kielbasa or andouille (adjust salt in seasoning blend)
Green cabbage → red cabbage or Savoy cabbage (flavor and texture remain similar)
Sweet potatoes → regular potatoes or parsnips (reduce cooking time by 5–8 minutes for regular potatoes)
Butter → avocado oil or ghee (maintains richness without dairy)

Storage & make-ahead

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat on a sheet pan at 350°F for 10 minutes or in a skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
