Ingredients:
- 340g kielbasa, sliced into ¼ inch coins and then each coin sliced in half (12 oz)
- 450-550g bag frozen pierogies (approx 16-20)
- 1 red onion, peeled and sliced
- 2 large bell peppers, stemmed, seeds removed, and sliced
- 3 cloves of garlic, peeled and roughly chopped
- 60ml olive oil, plus more if needed (4 tablespoons)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 15ml sriracha, Tabasco, or your favorite hot sauce (1 tablespoon)
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a very large baking sheet or 2 smaller ones with cooking spray, or line with parchment paper.
- Place pierogies, peppers, onions, and garlic on the sheet pan.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, spices, and hot sauce. Pour the mixture over the pierogies and vegetables, tossing gently to combine. Spread into an even layer on one side of the pan or on one of the sheet pans if splitting into two.
- Arrange kielbasa slices on the other side of the sheet pan or on the separate pan if using two. Drizzle everything with a touch more olive oil.
- Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and bake for 28-35 minutes, flipping everything halfway through.
- Remove from the oven when done and serve immediately hot out of the oven with sour cream, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh chopped herbs or sliced green onions if desired. (Be cautious as the pierogi filling will be piping hot.)
- Leftovers can be covered with plastic wrap or stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave or gently over medium heat stovetop or low heat in the oven.
Notes:
- Feel free to customize this recipe by using your favorite variety of pierogies or adding additional vegetables.
- Adjust the level of heat by adding more or less hot sauce according to your preference.
- Be careful when biting into the pierogi, as the filling will be hot.
