Ina’s Sheet Pan Hasselback Kielbasa is a total winner of an easy weeknight meal. And it’s impressive looking enough for guests too!
Today, I’m serving up a little bit of Ina Garten!
Every recipe I’ve ever made of Ina’s has always been an instant hit at our house, and Ina’s Sheet Pan Hasselback Kielbasa is no exception. It flew off the table when I served it!
The recipe is from Ina’s newest book, go-to dinners. The book is jam-packed with deliciousness and absolutely worth a spot on your cookbook shelf.
When I browsed though the book, bells went off when I saw this recipe. My family loves any kind of sausage, so I knew I’d have to give this one a try. And since it’s a sheet pan meal, I knew I was not only going to love the taste, but that I’d be thrilled with minor cleanup, especially on those super busy weeknights when I’m scrambling as the dinner hour gets closer.

How to Make this Easy Weeknight Sheet Pan Meal
First things first. Slice up all your veggies, then toss them with some olive oil, garlic, fresh thyme, fennel seeds and kosher salt and pepper.
You’ll roast your veggies first for about 20 minutes before adding your hasselbacked kielbasa. You will brush the sausage with a mixture of Dijon mustard and honey and cook for an added 30 minutes, brushing every 10 until crispy and browned. The remaining honey mustard can be served with the finished sheet pan meal.
That’s it! I know right? How easy is that? And totally dee-lish too guys!

A Few Cook’s Notes for Ina’s Sheet Pan Hasselback Kielbasa
You will be able to find the fully cooked smoked kielbasa usually in the aisle with the hot dogs and breakfast meats. Hillshire Farms is a popular brand.
I decided to use my Friday Fennel spice from Outside Table for this recipe, but you can just use fennel seeds like Ina.
