• Prep Time: 10 minutes
• Cook Time: 25 minutes
• Total Time: 35 minutes
• Cuisine: American
• Course: Dinner / Main Course
• Difficulty Level: Easy
• Yield: 4 servings
• Calories per Serving: ~340 kcal
• Serving Size: About 1 ½ cups

Equipment Needed

• Sheet pan (large enough to spread ingredients in a single layer)
• Sharp knife
• Cutting board
• Mixing bowl
• Small saucepan (for sauce)
• Silicone spatula or spoon

Ingredients

• 14 oz chicken or turkey sausage, cut into ½-inch slices
• 2 medium sweet potatoes, cut into ½-inch cubes
• 2 cups broccoli, cut into small florets
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 4 medium cloves garlic, minced
• ¼ cup honey
• ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley (for garnish)

Ingredient Notes

1. Sausage: I love using turkey sausage, but kielbasa or chicken sausage works just as well.

2. Sweet Potatoes: Cut them evenly so they roast properly. If they’re too big, they’ll take longer to soften.

3. Broccoli: Add it halfway through baking so it stays crisp and doesn’t get mushy.

4. Honey Garlic Sauce: A balance of sweet (honey) and savory (soy, garlic) with a slight tang from apple cider vinegar—this sauce ties everything together.

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven

To 400°F (200°C). Line your sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

2. Prepare the sweet potatoes

Spread cubed sweet potatoes on the sheet pan, drizzle with a little olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss. Roast for 10 minutes to give them a head start.

3. Add sausage

Pull the pan out, scatter sliced sausage over the sweet potatoes, then return to the oven for 10 more minutes.

4. Add broccoli

After 20 minutes of total roasting time, add broccoli florets, toss everything gently, and roast for 5 more minutes.

5. Make the honey garlic sauce

In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute). Stir in honey, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar. Let it simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.

6. Combine everything

Pour the honey garlic sauce over the roasted sausage, sweet potatoes, and broccoli. Toss to coat evenly.

7. Garnish and serve

Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve straight from the sheet pan.

Recipe Note: For even cooking, keep all pieces roughly the same size. That way, the sweet potatoes roast evenly, and nothing burns.

Pro Tips and Variations

This sheet pan dinner already feels complete, but you can:

1. Serve it over brown rice or quinoa for extra heartiness.
