Ingredients
- 1 pound (450g) Italian sausage links (sweet or mild preferred, spicy optional)
- 3 tablespoons (60ml) honey
- 4 large garlic cloves, minced (about 2 tablespoons)
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) soy sauce (low-sodium recommended)
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) apple cider vinegar
- 2 medium bell peppers, sliced (about 300g; mix of red and yellow preferred)
- 3 cups (270g) broccoli florets
- 1 medium red onion, sliced (about 150g)
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) olive oil (extra virgin preferred)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Slice the sausage into 1-inch pieces.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss bell peppers, broccoli florets, and red onion slices with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Mince the garlic cloves finely.
- In a small bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar to make the glaze.
- Spread sausage pieces and veggies evenly on a large rimmed baking sheet in a single layer.
- Drizzle half of the honey garlic glaze over everything and toss gently to coat.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, stirring halfway through for even cooking and caramelization.
- Remove the pan and drizzle the remaining glaze over the sausage and veggies. Toss gently to coat.
- Roast for an additional 5 minutes until sausage is browned and cooked through and veggies are tender with crispy edges.
- Serve hot straight from the pan, optionally garnished with fresh parsley or a squeeze of lemon juice.
