Tips & Variations

• Swap chicken sausage for spicy or smoked sausage to add a different flavor profile.
• Replace broccoli with other sturdy vegetables like Brussels sprouts or cauliflower florets.
• For extra crispiness, broil the sheet pan for 2-3 minutes at the end of cooking, watching carefully to avoid burning.
• Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the glaze for a spicy kick.

Can I use other types of sausage for this recipe?

Yes, you can use pork, beef, or plant-based sausages depending on your preference. Just adjust the cooking time if needed based on the sausage type.

Sausage 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

1. Prepare Oven and Sheet Pan: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly spray it with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
2. Assemble Ingredients: Arrange the sliced sausage, diced sweet potatoes, and broccoli florets evenly across the prepared sheet pan, ensuring they’re spread out in a single layer for even roasting.
3. Make Honey Garlic Glaze: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until it becomes fragrant but not browned. Stir in the honey, low-sodium soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Let the mixture simmer gently for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally to meld the flavors.
4. Coat and Toss: Pour the prepared honey garlic glaze evenly over the sausage, sweet potatoes, and broccoli on the sheet pan. Toss all the ingredients thoroughly so everything is well coated with the glaze.
5. Roast: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and roast for 25 to 30 minutes. Make sure to stir the contents once halfway through cooking to promote even browning and prevent sticking. The sweet potatoes should be tender when pierced with a fork, and the sausage should be nicely browned.
6. Garnish and Serve: Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Sprinkle the minced fresh parsley over the roasted ingredients for a burst of color and fresh flavor. Serve warm.

Notes

• Using chicken or turkey sausage keeps the dish leaner, but you can substitute with pork sausage if preferred.
• If you don’t have fresh parsley, dried parsley can be used, but add it before roasting to bring out its flavor.
• Feel free to swap out broccoli for other vegetables such as bell peppers or green beans depending on seasonality and preference.
• To reduce sodium further, use a low-sodium soy sauce or tamari.
