Ingredients

  • 3/4 lb. yellow onion, sliced into sliced crosswise into 1/2-inch thick rounds
  • 1 1 lb. fennel bulb, stalks and core removed and cut in half lengthwise and then cut the halves into 1-inch thick slices
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch wide strips
  • 1 orange bell pepper, cut into 1-inch wide strips
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch wide strips
  • 4 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp. mined garlic
  • 2 tsp. fresh thyme leaves, as well as two sprigs
  • 1 tsp. whole fennel seeds
  • 2 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1 tsp. black pepper
  • 2 lbs. fully cooked smoked kielbasa
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup honey

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Add your onions, fennel and peppers to a large bowl. Toss with 4 tablespoons olive oil, the garlic, thyme, fennel seeds, kosher salt and pepper. Transfer to a large roasting pan (14x18) and spread evenly into one layer. Roast for 20 minutes, tossing halfway in between.
  • While the vegetables are cooking, slice your kielbasa crosswise into 1/4-inch slices making sure to only cut 2/3 way through. Remove the vegetables from the oven, toss, discard the thyme sprigs and place the two rings of kielbasa on top. Brush each ring, top and sides, with some of the honey mustard. Roast for 30 minutes, brushing the kielbasa with more of the honey mustard every ten minutes until crispy on top. Season to taste. Serve with the remaining honey mustard.

Notes

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.
