Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken sausage, sliced
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, diced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Wash and dice sweet potatoes into uniform 1-inch cubes. Cut broccoli into evenly sized florets. Slice chicken sausage into half-inch thick rounds.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine sweet potato cubes, broccoli florets, and sliced chicken sausage. Drizzle olive oil over the ingredients.
- Sprinkle paprika, salt, and black pepper over the ingredients. Toss everything thoroughly to ensure even coating and seasoning distribution.
- Spread the mixture evenly across the prepared baking sheet, ensuring ingredients are in a single layer without overcrowding to allow proper roasting.
- Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring once halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
- Check for doneness by ensuring sweet potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork and chicken sausage is heated through with slight caramelization.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes. Serve hot directly from the sheet pan, optionally garnishing with fresh chopped parsley or green onions.
Tips
- • Use parchment paper for effortless cleanup and to prevent sticking • Cut vegetables into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking • Don't overcrowd the sheet pan - give ingredients space to roast, not steam • Stir ingredients halfway through cooking for consistent browning • For extra crispiness, use a high-temperature oven (425°F) • Experiment with different seasoning blends to keep the recipe exciting • Let the dish rest for a few minutes after cooking to allow flavors to meld • Optional garnishes like fresh herbs can elevate the final presentation
