This sheet-pan dinner is a sure win in under an hour, with your oven doing most of the heavy lifting. Roasting pierogies yields a crisp, golden skin with a soft, pillowy interior but, if you don’t have pierogies, you could use gnocchi in their place. (No pre-cooking required!) Cooking kimchi at high heat may feel like a surprising move, but it becomes sticky and caramelized, imparting lots of flavor and texture to the final dish. Finally, a dill sour cream adds a fresh richness, but feel free to swap out the sour cream and use a good-quality Greek yogurt, crème fraîche or even buttermilk (it will be runnier, so no need to thin with water).

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Set a rack in the lower third of the oven and heat oven to 400 degrees. Add the brussels sprouts and kimchi to a rimmed sheet pan. (A small amount of kimchi juice is fine and adds lots of flavor.) Drizzle with 2 tablespoons oil and season with salt and black pepper, and toss to combine. Transfer the sheet pan to the oven.

  2. Step 2

    Prepare the dill sour cream: Combine the sour cream, dill, oil, lemon and salt in a small bowl and whisk to combine. If the cream is too thick, add a tablespoon of water. (You are looking for the consistency of heavy cream.)

  3. Step 3

    After 15 minutes, remove the pan from the oven and add the pierogies. Drizzle everything with the remaining 3 tablespoons oil, and, using a spatula, toss everything together. Return to the oven, and roast until the brussels sprouts are tender, and the pierogies are puffed and golden, another 20 to 25 minutes. (Don’t flip the pierogies.)

  4. Step 4

    Drizzle with olive oil, scatter with dill, and serve with dill sour cream and halved lemon.

It calls for fresh or frozen pierogies. Do u add them to the baking sheet frozen ? Or thaw them first?

Great flavor profile! Prepped the brussels (closer to 2 lb) and kimchi early in the day and let them sit together until time to go in the oven. (Btw - please edit Step 1 to say directly to cook them for 15 minutes!) Used frozen pierogies - they needed a few more minutes and next time I'll toss them with oil before adding to the pan to ensure more even coating. Kids and husband commented on how good it smelled cooking and it fed 5 easily.

This was a great dish! My local store didn't have kimchi so I substituted sauerkraut with red curry paste and it was delicious!

Too much oil? I'm finding sheet pan recipes with everything sloshed in oil too much for me (recent gall bladder surgery). Must find a work around - a combo of (less) oil and water on the sheet pan? I am also not sure about the kimchi either. This sounds like a great recipe though!

I signed up for the NYT specifically for the cooking section, and its a lot of hacks like using frozen pierogies. I would rather have a good recipe for pierogies rather than a quick dinner solution. Some of my best recipes are old NYT cooking recipes. This is explorative cuisine and basic—tasty, but basic.

Would this recipe be better if pot sticker dumplings were used instead of pierogies?
