Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 14 oz chicken or turkey sausage
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 cups broccoli
Sauce and Seasoning:
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 4 medium cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- Salt and pepper
Garnish:
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 400°F and grab a large sheet pan for easy cleanup.
- Slice 14 oz of chicken sausage into half-inch rounds and cube 2 medium sweet potatoes into matching half-inch pieces.
- Chop 2 cups of broccoli into small florets and spread all ingredients across the sheet pan in a single layer.
- Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, then add 4 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 60 seconds.
- Pour ¼ cup honey, ¼ cup soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar into the pan with the garlic.
- Simmer the sauce for 2-3 minutes, stirring continuously to blend the flavors and create a glossy consistency.
- Drizzle the hot sauce over the sheet pan ingredients, tossing gently to ensure every piece gets coated evenly.
- Sprinkle salt and pepper across the pan to enhance the dish’s seasoning.
- Roast the sheet pan in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring everything halfway through cooking.
- Check that sweet potatoes are fork-tender and sausage is fully cooked before removing from the oven.
- Garnish with 2 tablespoons fresh minced parsley right before serving for a bright, fresh finish.
Notes
- Opt for spicy sausage like andouille if you prefer more kick in your dish, which adds depth to the honey garlic sauce.
- Cut sweet potatoes and broccoli into similar-sized pieces to ensure even cooking and prevent some pieces from burning while others remain undercooked.
- Test sweet potato tenderness with a fork before removing from the oven, as cooking times can vary depending on the size of your vegetable chunks.
- For a gluten-free version, replace soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos to maintain the rich umami flavor of the sauce.
