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

Cameron

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.

Peter B

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

Sukie

We thoroughly enjoyed this! Didn’t thaw the pierogies and followed recipe exactly except added one thickly sliced onion. The whole meal works surprisingly well. The sprouts were caramelized and played well off the kimchi and sauce. So easy and yummy!

Leigh

I feel like this recipe proves that not every dish is best suited for adaptation to the sheet pan craze - the whole turns out to be so much less than the individual parts could be if they were cooked separately. The moisture from the sauerkraut kept the Brussels sprouts from crisping before they overcooked. Roasted pierogi is not nearly as delicious as pierogi that's been boiled and then pan-fried. Some foods are worth washing a few dishes.

After cooking from NYT 3-6x a week for years, I'm leaving my 1st ever bad review. Followed this exactly; looked just like the photo, but tasted awful. Mixing kimchi into something not Asian is only fusion insofar as the flavors actually fuse. This dish is bland & boring unless one gets kimchi on the fork, in which case it tastes like... kimchi. The decisively Korean condiment fights w/the decisively east-euro pierogi; the sprouts just sit there, allegiant to neither. What an unfortunate recipe.

Ed

Sounds tasty. Since this is already a fusion dish, might I substitute frozen gyoza for the pierogies? More variety in the fillings. Thanks!

Carrie

Used Wegman's brand frozen pierogies without thawing. The pierogies did indeed cook just fine, although I was heavy-handed with the oil to mitigate the dryness some mentioned. Only had one box, so we added Beyond Meat sausage (because the other sheet pan recipe with the sausage, brussels, and potatoes is a family favorite). This made the meal feel more hearty. Didn't use dill because we didn't have it and I don't love it. I didn't think it was missing.

NYT Cooking

Hi, Friends! Margaux Laskey, a Senior Staff Editor at NYT Cooking here. I spoke with Hetty, and she said she tested with *both* thawed and not thawed frozen pierogies, and they both worked. Frozen might need a smidge more time. Happy Cooking!

Trasheed

Because of the range of comments, I am moved to add my experience. This was easy and delicious. Follow the cooking directions exactly. I like pirogies, but find them NOT worth the effort of boiling and sautéing for an ultimately one dimensional plate. This recipe solves all my potato dumpling problems. I had red sauerkraut on hand, and added a couple sausages to the pan. Will make again, and never skimp on the dill!

Julia

So good! Zero effort with a delicious outcome. Followed the recipe exactly with frozen pierogies and everything was great - not dry, not undercooked. Didn't use the sour cream as partner is lactose free, but any dip will work well (we happened to have smoked tomato aioli in the fridge which worked great).

Jordana

Delicious recipe! Cooking time on the Brussel sprouts was a little long. Next time I'll put the Brussels and kimchi in at the same time as the frozen perogies

DC

All of the ingredients are great individually but they just don't come together. It was not terrible but it was disappointing.

Alex D

Ultra quick and easy prep. End product was fine but not a standout. Flavors were a little muddied. Sauce was good.

john a

made this recipe - overall i think it has good parts, but i agree with others that it should probably be two pans. i found myself following the instructions on the pierogi box, and slipped them halfway through and also (after taking out the sprouts) broiled the pierogi to get them crisper. you definitely need the kimchi or another punch (i made a simple sauce w horseradish, lemon, dill, and salt/pepper) that did the trick.

Kate

I loved the zing of the kimchi with the caramelized Brussels sprouts and sour cream sauce. I tossed the pierogies generously in olive oil before baking but they never got crisp during baking, just tough and chewy. Disappointing. Maybe I’ll just make the kimchi and sprouts on their own as a side dish.

Amy

This dish felt like a very strange combination that didn't quite come together, but I'm so happy I made it because cooking brussel sprouts with kimchi was delicious!

Karen

This came together for an easy lunch. I used Wegmans vegetable dumplings because that’s what I had on hand. The roasted kimchi and Brussels sprouts were a nice flavor profile. All in all; delicious, easy, and repeatable.

kate

I added sweet apple chicken sausage for some protein and was delish!

Ebs1996

This was so yummy. One of my favorite things I've made in a while. Yes, it's a pain to trim and prep the brussels sprouts, but it's worth it. We used frozen pierogi and left it in on the 25 minute end of the 20-25 minutes suggested and they turned out great. My suggestion is definitely use two sheet pans! I don't think it would have cooked as well on one.

Diane

A familiar yet unfamiliar dish. Super easy, true to recipe. Roasted brussel sprouts, pirogues have familiar textures and flavors but adding the kimchi with just a hint of heat since it’s roasted and the really awesome lime and dill in sour cream sauce. Wow, another level. My meat and potatoes guy had three helpings. He is a brussel sprout fan though. It was a lot of food. I decided to put the pirogues in a separate baggie to store so they wouldn’t be soggy from the vegetables. Reheat separately.

Sydney

Made this on Christmas Day to go with some ham. Didn’t use too much of the kimchi juice. Just enough to add some extra fluid while baking. Took longer than 15min to crisp up the pierogi. Very yummy.

Kirsten

Simple and delicious. This will be in the regular rotation

Sara

This dish is one of my favorites. I sometimes use half potstickers and half ravioli if I can’t find pierogies. If you can find mini-pierogies that’s even better.

Erin R

I made this twice, changing two small things: 1. Halved the pierogis and sauce, since I was serving only two people.2. Used two sheet pans to allow the veggies more space to roast.That’s it! We loved it and it couldn’t be simpler. The kimchi gives so much flavor. It’s nice to have a truly simple recipe like this on hand.

Perry

Adapted this to include packaged small gnocchi (or chicchi), Brussels sprouts, sauerkraut, garlic and Aleppo pepper. Worked a treat and is now on a fortnightly rotation! Tastes even better when reheated in the oven second time around.

Amber

No, just no. The brussels sprouts would have been so much better without the kimchi and with schmaltz and garlic instead. And the pierogies were leathery and dry, much better to boil them.

theMurk

This is a family favorite! I slice sausages (usually chicken) on a diagonal and toss them in with everything.

Alton

We subbed the Brussels with Broccoli and Carrots.... adjusting our cooking temps as necessary. In our case we overloaded the sheet plan and instead all cooked in a more "steaming" way versus "roasting"....should've divided across two pans. Otherwise the flavor was a delight... first time using Kimchi this way.

S

Made exactly as written - easy and delicious!

Alton

I added frozen... sprayed some avocado oil... and continued to convection roast... eventually broiling for a bit. Prefer a little char on our veggies/Pierogies

FAQs

Do you have to boil homemade pierogies before frying them? ›

However, it's not a must—you can also cook frozen pierogies right in the skillet without boiling them—and they will turn out delicious. But, if you're a stickler for tradition, bring a pot of salted water to a boil, drop the pierogies in and wait for them to float. It takes around 3 minutes.

How do you make pierogies taste better? ›

Add onion and drained pierogies and season to taste with salt and pepper or House Seasoning. Cook over high heat until the onion is soft and browned and pierogies are nicely browned. The pasta shell will get a little crunchy - it's delish! Serve with a dollop of sour cream.

What are the cooking instructions for pierogies? ›

To cook the pierogies, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop the pierogies into the boiling water. (Do this in two batches – about 12 at a time in a large stockpot.) When they come to the surface and float (about 2 to 3 minutes), give them just 30 seconds longer and then remove them with a slotted spoon.

Can you overcook perogies? ›

Be careful not over-cook or they will come apart. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a dish towel to remove excess water. Serve with butter, sour cream, whipped cream, white sugar, brown sugar, or fresh fruits.

Can you pan fry perogies without boiling? ›

Cover bottom of frying pan with cooking oil, margarine or butter and heat to 190 °C (375 °F) or medium heat. Place frozen perogies into frying pan and fry for approximately 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Then, turn perogies over and brown on other side for 3-4 minutes.

Do you thaw frozen pierogies before cooking? ›

Frozen pierogies may be partially defrosted before heating. Boil: Place 1 dozen pierogies in a pot of rapidly boiling, salted water (6 quarts for refrigerated pierogies, 8 quarts for frozen pierogies). When they rise to the surface, flat side up, they are done. Drain and serve with sauteed onions or sour cream.

How many perogies per person? ›

Melt a tablespoon of butter in a pan on medium heat, then fry up as many pierogies as you want. (Six per person is plenty.) Flip them every few minutes until they're browned on all sides. Serve with scallions and a dollop of sour cream.

Is it better to cook perogies in butter or oil? ›

How To Sauté / Pan-fry Pierogi: Lightly grease the frying pan with neutral oil or ideally – butter. If you plan to top pierogi with some chopped onion, bacon or kiełbasa pieces, now it's a good moment to add them to the pan and fry them for a few minutes.

What side dish goes with perogies? ›

How do you know when perogies are done? ›

Are frozen perogies already cooked? ›

Remember that these frozen pierogi are already fully cooked, so you really just need to heat them through. If you're planning to boil and then saute the pierogi, you can remove them from the boiling water as soon as they all float.

Are pierogies better baked or boiled? ›

Boiling pierogies gives them a soft and tender texture without adding any extra calories, as does heating pierogies in the microwave. Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil, then place about 12 pierogies in the boiling water for 5 to 7 minutes. Once they float, they're done.

Why did my pierogies fall apart? ›

They were boiled for too long, the dough was too thin, it contained too much flour, or was too wet. These are the most common pierogi fails.

What is the best way to cook Mrs T's pierogies? ›
