Honey Garlic Sheet Pan Sausage with Broccoli and Peppers

Honey garlic sheet pan sausage recipe cooks in 40 minutes with 15 minutes of active prep and cleanup of one dish. I make this recipe on weeknights after work. The sausage browns, and broccoli and peppers catch the sticky honey garlic sauce in the oven. The peppers soften and become glossy.

I combine olive oil, honey, soy sauce, garlic, and black pepper in a bowl and toss in sausage and other vegetables. I cook all ingredients in a pan. I find honey burns quickly under the broiler and generally broil for 1-2 minutes toward the end of cooking time if broiling is desired for this recipe. Stay by the oven when broiling.

A full sheet pan will not allow sausage and vegetables to brown properly because items piled on top of each other release steam. Spread the sausage and vegetables in a single layer on a sheet pan without piles and use two sheet pans if the sausage and vegetables look crowded before roasting. It's better to have an extra sheet pan than pull out steamed broccoli.

For seasoning, I add 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the sauce. Sriracha sauce would be another option. Other proteins that can be used instead of sausage are cubed chicken breast and shrimp. Firm tofu is another alternative ingredient. Other vegetables that can be used instead of the vegetables listed are asparagus, Brussels sprouts, baby potatoes, and zucchini if you don't have other vegetables available. Preparation times will differ for alternative ingredients.
