How to Make Sheet Pan Sausage and Sweet Potatoes
- Prep your sheet pan. Lightly grease a large pan and preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Chop the veggies. Cut sweet potatoes into ½-inch cubes and broccoli into bite-sized florets.
- Slice the sausage. Use pre-cooked links, slicing into ½-inch rounds for even roasting.
- Whisk the honey garlic sauce. In a skillet, sauté garlic in butter, then add honey, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar. Simmer until slightly thickened.
- Toss everything together. Spread sausage, broccoli, and sweet potatoes on the sheet pan. Drizzle with sauce and toss until coated.
- Roast. Bake for 25–30 minutes until the potatoes are tender and caramelized.
- Finish. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve warm.
Tips for Success
- Cut veggies evenly so they cook at the same rate.
- Use fresh garlic – it makes the sauce much more flavorful.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan; a single layer ensures crisp, caramelized edges.
Variations to Try
- Switch the meat. Try cubed chicken, turkey meatballs, or even shrimp.
- Change the veggies. Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, or bell peppers all roast beautifully.
- Make it vegetarian. Skip the sausage and double up on vegetables.
- Spice it up. Add red pepper flakes or sriracha for heat.
What to Serve With It
This dish is hearty enough to stand alone, but pairs wonderfully with:
- A fresh green salad
- Steamed rice or quinoa
- Crusty bread to soak up the sauce
Make Ahead & Storage
- Prep ahead. Chop sausage and veggies up to 3 days in advance. Store sweet potatoes in water to keep them fresh.
- Sauce ahead. The honey garlic sauce keeps for up to 1 week in the fridge.
- Leftovers. Store roasted sausage and veggies in the fridge up to 5–6 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven.
