Imagine coming home after a long day, and instead of stressing over what to cook, you’ve got Sheet Pan Sausage and Pierogies as your effortless answer.

Before You Start
- Use Frozen Pierogies Directly: No need to thaw the pierogies first—just toss them in straight from the freezer. They’ll crisp up perfectly in the oven without turning mushy.
- Slice Ingredients Evenly: Make sure your sausage rounds and veggies are similar in size. This helps everything cook evenly, so you don’t end up with undercooked peppers or overdone sausage.
- Space It Out: Spread everything in a single layer on your baking sheet. Giving each piece a bit of room allows the edges to get that delicious roasted texture instead of steaming.
- Don’t Skip Flipping: Halfway through cooking, flip the pierogies and give everything a quick stir. This ensures even browning on all sides and prevents sticking.
Ingredients You’ll Need
- Frozen Pierogies: These potato and cheese-filled dumplings are the heart of the dish. You can swap in any variety—like cheddar or onion-filled pierogies—to suit your taste.
- Sausage Links: Choose Italian, kielbasa, or smoked sausage for a savory, flavorful punch. Feel free to mix up the type of sausage; just be sure to slice them into rounds for even cooking.
- Red and Yellow Bell Peppers: These bring a sweet, vibrant touch and add some color to the dish. Any color you have will work.
- Red Onion: Yellow or white onions work well here too.
- Olive Oil: Helps the pierogies and veggies crisp up beautifully in the oven. You can use avocado oil or vegetable oil if you have them on hand.
- Smoked Paprika: For a little smokiness. You can use regular paprika as well.
- Garlic Powder: Fresh garlic will also work.
- Dried Oregano: A classic herb that pairs perfectly with sausage and peppers. You could also use Italian seasoning or thyme.
- Salt and Pepper: Season to taste.
- Fresh Parsley (for garnish): A sprinkle of fresh parsley adds color and a hint of freshness. Feel free to sub with basil or chives.
- Sour Cream (optional for serving): Perfect for a creamy, tangy dip alongside the crispy pierogies.
Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lining a large baking sheet with parchment paper or greasing it lightly with olive oil helps prevent sticking and makes cleanup a breeze.
In a large mixing bowl, add 1 pound of frozen pierogies, 4 sliced sausage links, 1 sliced red bell pepper, 1 sliced yellow bell pepper, and 1 sliced red onion. Drizzle everything with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, ½ teaspoon of dried oregano, and salt and pepper to taste over the mixture. Toss everything together until evenly coated.
Arrange everything in a single layer on your prepared baking sheet, giving each piece a bit of space. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. About halfway through, flip the pierogies and stir the veggies.
Once done, remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve hot with a side of sour cream if you like.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh pierogies instead of frozen?
Yes, you can! Fresh pierogies will work, but they may cook a little faster than frozen ones. Keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking, and reduce the bake time by about 5-10 minutes.
Can I add more vegetables to this dish?
Absolutely! You can add sliced zucchini, cherry tomatoes, or even broccoli to the mix. Just ensure all veggies are cut similarly for even cooking.
How should I store leftovers?
Let the leftovers cool, then store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes to maintain crispiness, or microwave if you’re in a rush (though the texture may be softer).
Can I freeze leftovers?
Yes! Place leftovers in a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 3 months. When ready to enjoy, let them thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat in the oven to get that roasted texture back.
Can I make this dish ahead of time?
Yes! You can prep everything in advance and store it in the fridge for up to a day. When ready to cook, just toss everything on the baking sheet and bake as directed.
