Ingredients
Scale
Sausage and Vegetables
- 1 lb kielbasa sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch pieces (smoked Polish-style recommended)
- 1 lb baby potatoes, halved or quartered into 1-inch pieces
- 1 head broccoli, cut into medium florets
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped into 1-inch pieces
- 1 red onion, cut into wedges
- 2 tbsp olive oil (for tossing vegetables)
Honey Garlic Sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 cloves garlic, freshly minced
- 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp olive oil (for the sauce)
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) to prepare for roasting the ingredients evenly and developing a caramelized finish.
- Combine and Prepare Vegetables and Sausage: In a large bowl, add the sliced kielbasa, halved or quartered baby potatoes, broccoli florets, chopped red bell pepper, and red onion wedges. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and toss gently to coat everything evenly. Spread the mixture in a single layer on a large baking sheet, ensuring pieces are spaced out and not crowded to promote roasting rather than steaming. Ensure potato pieces are no larger than 1 inch for consistent cooking.
- Roast the Ingredients: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender and the kielbasa edges are lightly browned. The broccoli should be tender with tips slightly crisped. Check potatoes for doneness at 20 minutes if pieces are larger.
- Prepare Honey Garlic Sauce: While roasting, whisk together 1/4 cup honey, freshly minced garlic, 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce, 1 tablespoon olive oil, dried oregano, black pepper, and salt in a small bowl until the mixture is well combined.
- Toss with Sauce: Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Drizzle the honey garlic sauce evenly over the sausages and vegetables. Toss gently to ensure everything is coated with the flavorful sauce.
- Finish Roasting with Sauce: Return the pan to the oven and roast for an additional 5 to 10 minutes until the sauce is bubbly and slightly caramelized. For extra caramelization, switch the oven to broil on high for the final 1 to 2 minutes; watch closely to avoid burning the garlic.
- Serve and Garnish: Remove from the oven and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh parsley or sesame seeds if desired for added color and flavor.
