Ingredients

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into medium-sized cubes
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Fresh ground black pepper to taste
1 package (4 or 5 links) pre-cooked chicken, turkey, or pork sausage (about 14–16 oz.)
1 pound broccoli, trimmed and cut into pieces (about ¾ pound broccoli pieces)
Salt and additional fresh-ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) and spray a sheet pan with non-stick spray. If your oven runs hot or is uncertain, set the temperature to 400°F (204°C) and increase cooking time accordingly.
Step 2: Cut the sweet potatoes into cubes about 1 inch across.
Step 3: In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, and black pepper.
Step 4: Toss the sweet potato cubes with half of the oil-balsamic mixture.
Step 5: Spread the sweet potatoes evenly on the sheet pan and roast in the oven for 15 minutes.
Step 6: Slice the sausage into ¾-inch thick pieces, trimming the ends to create flat edges.
Step 7: After 15 minutes, add the sausage pieces to the sheet pan with the sweet potatoes and roast for 10 more minutes.
Step 8: Cut the broccoli into pieces roughly the same size as the other ingredients.
Step 9: Toss the broccoli with the remaining oil-balsamic mixture in the bowl.
Step 10: Remove the sheet pan from the oven, turn the sausage pieces over, and spread out the sausage and sweet potatoes. Tuck the broccoli pieces between them.
Step 11: Return the pan to the oven and roast for another 15 minutes, or until the broccoli is cooked to your liking and everything is nicely browned.
Step 12: Season the dish with salt and fresh-ground black pepper to taste and serve hot.

Tips & Variations

Use pre-cooked sausage to reduce cooking time and simplify the recipe.
Swap broccoli for Brussels sprouts or cauliflower for a different vegetable option.
Add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
If you prefer softer veggies, cover the pan loosely with foil during the last 10 minutes.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10–15 minutes or microwave until heated through. Roasted veggies may lose some crispness but will still be delicious.

FAQs

Can I use raw sausage instead of pre-cooked?

Yes, but cooking times will need to be adjusted. Roast for longer to ensure the sausage is fully cooked through before adding broccoli.

Can I prepare this meal ahead of time?

You can chop vegetables and slice sausage in advance, but it’s best to assemble and roast just before serving for optimal freshness and texture.
