Ingredients
Sausage and Vegetables
- 14 oz chicken or turkey sausage, cut into 1/2-inch slices
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 2 cups broccoli, cut into 1/2-inch florets
Honey Garlic Sauce
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 4 medium cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Lightly grease a large sheet pan to prevent sticking, then evenly spread the sausage slices, cubed sweet potatoes, and broccoli florets on the pan.
- Make Honey Garlic Sauce: In a medium skillet, melt 1 tablespoon unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned. Stir in the honey, low-sodium soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then lower the heat to medium-low and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce slightly thickens.
- Coat Sausage and Vegetables: Drizzle the prepared honey garlic sauce evenly over the sausage and vegetables on the sheet pan. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss everything gently but thoroughly to ensure all pieces are coated. Arrange the ingredients in a single layer for even roasting.
- Roast to Perfection: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes and broccoli are tender and cooked through, and the sausage is nicely browned.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the sheet pan from the oven and sprinkle the minced fresh parsley over the top. Serve warm directly from the pan and enjoy a hearty, flavorful meal!
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 6 days.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce to control the salt content.
- You can substitute broccoli with other vegetables like Brussels sprouts or green beans if preferred.
- For a spicier version, add red pepper flakes to the honey garlic sauce.
- Ensure the sausage is fully cooked before serving by checking internal temperature or slicing a piece.
