Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 12 oz frozen or fresh cheese or potato pierogies
  • 12 oz smoked kielbasa, sliced into ½-inch rounds
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 yellow or sweet onion, chopped into bite-sized pieces

Seasonings and Extras

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  2. Prep Ingredients: Slice the kielbasa into ½-inch thick rounds. Chop the bell peppers and onion into bite-sized pieces for even roasting. No need to thaw frozen pierogies; fresh pierogies also require no thawing.
  3. Toss Everything Together: In a large bowl, combine the pierogies, kielbasa slices, chopped peppers, and onions. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper over the mixture. Toss well to evenly coat every piece with seasoning.
  4. Arrange on the Sheet Pan: Spread the mixture out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring there’s enough space between pieces for heat circulation to promote browning and crispiness.
  5. Bake Until Golden and Crispy: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping everything halfway through. The pierogies should be golden with crispy edges, while the kielbasa and veggies are cooked through but still juicy.
  6. Add Fresh Garnish and Serve: Once out of the oven, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the dish for color and freshness. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Don’t overcrowd the pan; leave space for crispiness and even cooking.
  • Flip pierogies and kielbasa carefully halfway through baking for uniform browning.
  • Use olive oil generously to help with crisping and flavor.
  • Customize seasonings to your taste, such as adding crushed red pepper flakes for heat.
  • Keep an eye on cooking times, especially if using homemade or different types of pierogies, as they may cook faster than frozen ones.
