Proteins
- 1 lb kielbasa sausage, sliced into bite-sized rounds
Vegetables
- 2 cups broccoli florets, cut into small pieces
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced into strips
- 1 medium red onion, sliced into wedges
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
Honey Garlic Sauce
- 3 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp soy sauce (use gluten-free tamari if needed)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1/2 tsp chili flakes (optional)
- Prepare the Ingredients: Slice the kielbasa into bite-sized rounds, chop the broccoli into small florets, slice the red bell pepper into strips, slice the red onion into wedges, and mince the garlic cloves to maximize the flavor infusion in the glaze.
- Make the Honey Garlic Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and optional chili flakes until combined thoroughly to create a sticky, flavorful glaze.
- Toss Everything Together: Place the kielbasa slices and chopped vegetables into a large mixing bowl or directly on the sheet pan. Pour the prepared sauce over and toss everything evenly to thoroughly coat all pieces.
- Roast to Perfection: Spread the mixture in a single layer on a parchment-lined or lightly greased baking sheet. Roast in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the kielbasa is nicely browned and vegetables are tender but crisp.
- Finish and Serve: Once roasted, toss everything gently one last time, adjust seasoning if needed, garnish with fresh parsley or herbs if desired, and serve immediately with your preferred sides.
Notes
- Use good-quality kielbasa for richer flavor and better texture.
- Cut vegetables uniformly to ensure even cooking.
- Line your baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan; spacing helps caramelize rather than steam ingredients.
- Adjust sweetness by adding a splash of lemon juice or vinegar if honey is too sweet.
