Honey Garlic Sausage Sheet Pan Dinner Recipe

Ingredients

Vegetables

• 3 cups red potato (or sweet potatoes), diced
• 8 oz fresh asparagus, cut into 2 inch pieces
• 12 mini sweet bell peppers, cut into halves

Protein

• 15 ounces nitrate-free sausage

Seasonings and Flavorings

• sea salt and pepper, to your taste
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 2 Tbsp avocado oil (or olive oil)
• 4 fresh garlic cloves, minced or pressed
• 2 Tbsp raw honey
• a small bunch of chopped fresh parsley, to garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for roasting the sausage and veggies evenly.
2. Line a large sheet pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
3. Place all the diced potatoes, asparagus pieces, halved mini bell peppers, and sausage slices into a large mixing bowl.
4. Pour in the avocado oil, raw honey, minced garlic, dried oregano, smoked paprika, sea salt, and pepper over the bowl of ingredients.
5. Mix all ingredients well so that the sausage and vegetables are evenly coated with the honey garlic mixture and seasonings.
6. Spread the coated sausage and vegetables in a single layer across the prepared sheet pan to ensure proper roasting.
7. Place the sheet pan in the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until the vegetables are crisp-tender and the sausage is nicely browned.
8. After baking, sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the dish for a fresh finish and serve warm.

Notes

• For a spicier flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes when tossing the ingredients.
• You can substitute the nitrate-free sausage with your preferred type of sausage or a plant-based sausage for a vegetarian option.
• To ensure even cooking, cut the vegetables into similar sized pieces.
• Use parchment paper for easier cleanup and to prevent sticking.
• Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
