Ingredients
Scale
Protein and Vegetables
- 14 ounces chicken or turkey sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes
- 2 cups broccoli florets, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
Honey Garlic Glaze
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Garnish
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely minced
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly coat it with nonstick spray to ensure easy cleanup and prevent sticking.
- Arrange Ingredients: Place the sliced sausage, diced sweet potatoes, and broccoli florets in an even layer on the prepared sheet pan, ensuring they are spread out for even roasting.
- Prepare Glaze: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, taking care not to burn the garlic. Stir in the honey, low-sodium soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally to combine the flavors.
- Coat Ingredients: Pour the honey garlic glaze evenly over the sausage, sweet potatoes, and broccoli on the sheet pan. Toss everything thoroughly to ensure all pieces are well coated with the glaze.
- Roast: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and roast for 25 to 30 minutes. About halfway through cooking, stir the ingredients to promote even roasting and browning. Continue until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender and the sausage has a nice browned exterior.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the sheet pan from the oven and sprinkle the freshly minced parsley over the top for a burst of color and freshness. Serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- You can substitute broccoli with other vegetables like Brussels sprouts or green beans based on preference.
- For a spicier twist, add red pepper flakes to the honey garlic glaze.
- Use chicken sausage for a leaner option or pork sausage for a richer flavor.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
- Make sure to stir halfway through roasting for even cooking and to prevent burning.
