Main Ingredients
- Frozen pierogi (potato and cheese recommended) — about 1 pound (450 g)
- 1/2 medium green cabbage, thinly sliced (about 3–4 cups)
- 2 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
- Preheat your oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it is hot and ready for baking the pierogi and caramelized vegetables together for a crispy texture and even cooking.
- Prepare the vegetables: Thinly slice the green cabbage and yellow onions. Toss them in olive oil or melted butter with salt and pepper to season and help with caramelization during roasting.
- Arrange everything on the sheet pan: Spread the frozen pierogi in a single layer on one half of the sheet pan. Evenly spread the seasoned cabbage and onions on the other half, keeping the ingredients separate to avoid steaming and allow crisping and softening.
- Roast until golden: Place the sheet pan in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Flip the pierogi halfway through cooking to ensure both sides become golden and crispy while the cabbage and onions soften and caramelize.
- Finish with fresh dill: Remove the sheet pan from the oven and sprinkle fresh chopped dill evenly over the pierogi and vegetables. This fresh herb adds brightness and aroma to the finished dish.
Notes
- Choose high-quality or fresh frozen pierogi for the best texture and flavor.
- Do not overcrowd the pan; give enough space for air to circulate for proper crisping and caramelization.
- Flip the pierogi halfway through baking to achieve even golden-brown crust on both sides.
- Add fresh dill after baking to preserve its delicate flavor and vibrant green color.
- Line the sheet pan with parchment paper for easier cleanup and to prevent sticking.
