Roasted Sweet Potatoes, Sausage, and Broccoli Sheet Pan Meal
Ingredients
- 2 mediumsweet potatoes
- 3T olive oil
- 1T balsamic vinegar
- 1 tspgarlic powder
- fresh ground black pepper
- 1 packagepre-cooked chicken
turkey, or pork sausage
- 1 lbbroccoli
- salt and additional fresh-ground black pepper
Directions
- 1
Preheat oven to 450F/230C and spray sheet pan with non-stick spray. However, if you're not 100% sure your oven is calibrated correctly (or you know it cooks a bit hot) I would adjust the temperature (maybe even to 400F/204C) and simply cook it for a longer time.
- 2
Cut up two medium sweet potatoes into cubes that aren't too small. (I made cubes that were about one inch across.)
- 3
Whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, and black pepper.
- 4
Put sweet potato cubes into a bowl and toss with half the oil-balsamic mixture.
- 5
Spread sweet potatoes out on a sheet pan, put pan in the oven, and start to roast for 15 minutes.
- 6
Slice sausage into slices about 3/4 inch thick. (We trimmed off the ends so the sausage would have a flat end on both sides.)
- 7
When sweet potatoes have roasted 15 minutes, add sausage pieces to the sheet pan and roast 10 minutes more.
- 8
Cut up broccoli into same-size pieces (about the size of the other ingredients.)
- 9
Put broccoli into the bowl and toss broccoli with the rest of the oil-balsamic mixture.
- 10
Remove sheet pan from the oven and turn sausage pieces over. Then spread sausage and sweet potatoes apart and tuck broccoli pieces between them.
- 11
Put sheet pan back in the oven and cook 15 minutes more, or until broccoli is done to your liking and sausages and sweet potatoes are nicely browned.
- 12
Season with a little salt and fresh-ground black pepper and serve hot.
