A quick and easy weeknight meal featuring crispy corned beef with caramelized cabbage and roasted root vegetables, all cooked together on a single sheet pan for a fuss-free, comforting dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 to 3 pounds corned beef brisket (900g to 1.4kg), well-trimmed
  • 1 medium green cabbage, cut into 6 to 8 wedges
  • 3 large carrots, peeled and cut into thick sticks
  • 1 pound baby potatoes or Yukon gold potatoes, halved (450g)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin preferred)
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme or rosemary, chopped
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon mustard seeds or whole-grain mustard

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Pat the corned beef brisket dry with paper towels. If it came with a spice packet, sprinkle some on the meat along with salt and freshly ground pepper.
  3. Cut the cabbage into 6 to 8 wedges, keeping the core intact.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, toss the cabbage wedges, carrots, and potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, thyme or rosemary, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  5. Arrange the corned beef in the center of a large rimmed baking sheet. Place the veggies around the meat, ensuring plenty of space for air circulation.
  6. Optional: Spoon a tablespoon of whole-grain mustard over the top of the corned beef.
  7. Roast in the oven for 35 to 45 minutes. At the 25-minute mark, gently toss the veggies and baste the meat juices over the corned beef to keep it moist.
  8. After 40 minutes, check the corned beef for crispy edges and tenderness. For extra crispiness, broil for 2 to 3 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
  9. Remove from the oven and let the corned beef rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.
  10. Serve warm with the roasted veggies.

Notes

Dry the corned beef thoroughly before roasting to achieve a crispy crust. Use high heat (425°F) to caramelize the cabbage and crisp the meat. Avoid crowding the veggies to prevent steaming and sogginess. Rotate the pan halfway through cooking for even browning. Let the meat rest before slicing to retain juices. Broil briefly at the end for extra crispiness if desired.
