Yield: 2-3 servings

Prep time: 15 minutes

Total time: 45 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 onion, sliced
• 1/2 cabbage, sliced into wedges
• 2 sausages (your choice – plant-based, chicken, or pork)
• 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
• 1 tsp thyme
• 1 tsp oregano
• Salt & pepper to taste

Tahini Lemon Dressing:

• 1 tbsp tahini (using the end of the jar works great!)
• 1 lemon, juiced
• 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
• 1/2 tsp thyme
• 1/2 tsp oregano

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
   
2. Prepare Vegetables and Sausage: Place the sliced onion and cabbage wedges on the baking sheet. Slice the sausages into rounds and add them to the sheet.
   
3. Season and Drizzle: Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables and sausage. Sprinkle with thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper, tossing gently to coat everything evenly.
   
4. Roast: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the cabbage is caramelized and the sausage is golden.
   
5. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, combine the tahini, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, thyme, and oregano. Stir well until smooth and creamy. Add a splash of water if needed for a pourable consistency.
   
6. Serve: Once the cabbage and sausage are roasted, remove from the oven. Drizzle the tahini lemon dressing over the top and serve warm.
