Ingredients
Scale
Protein 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
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
Garnish
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the optimal temperature for roasting your ingredients evenly.
- Arrange Ingredients: On a large sheet pan, evenly spread out the sausage slices, sweet potato cubes, and broccoli florets, giving them space to roast properly.
- Prepare Sauce Base: In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, taking care not to burn the garlic.
- Make Honey Garlic Sauce: To the garlic and butter, add honey, low-sodium soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and season with salt and pepper. Stir the mixture well and bring it to a gentle simmer for 2 to 3 minutes to meld the flavors.
- Coat Ingredients: Pour the prepared honey garlic sauce over the arranged sausage, sweet potatoes, and broccoli on the sheet pan. Toss everything gently to coat the ingredients evenly with the sauce.
- Roast: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and roast for 25 to 30 minutes. Stir the contents halfway through the cooking time to ensure even roasting. The sweet potatoes should become tender and the sausage fully cooked.
- Finish and Serve: Remove the sheet pan from the oven and sprinkle the dish with minced fresh parsley for a burst of freshness and color. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use chicken or turkey sausage for a leaner option; pork sausage could also be substituted if preferred.
- Cubes of sweet potato should be uniform in size for even roasting.
- Stirring halfway through cooking prevents sticking and promotes even browning.
- Low-sodium soy sauce reduces salt content but still delivers a savory punch.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
