Ingredients
Scale
Meat
- 1 lb smoked kielbasa sausage, sliced into bite-sized rounds
Vegetables
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into evenly sized pieces
- 1 yellow or green bell pepper, cut into evenly sized pieces
- 1 medium zucchini, cut into evenly sized pieces
- 1 medium red onion, cut into evenly sized pieces
Honey Garlic Glaze
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare and chop the ingredients: Slice kielbasa into bite-sized rounds and cut bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion into evenly sized pieces to ensure even cooking. Mince the fresh garlic finely to spread its flavor throughout the dish.
- Make the honey garlic glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until combined into a sticky glaze that will coat the ingredients beautifully.
- Toss everything on the sheet pan: Place kielbasa and chopped vegetables in a large bowl, pour the honey garlic glaze over them, and toss well until everything is evenly coated. Spread the mixture out on a parchment-lined sheet pan in a single layer to promote even roasting.
- Roast in the oven: Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the kielbasa is browned and the vegetables are tender but still firm. The honey glaze should become glossy and caramelized.
- Serve immediately and enjoy: Let the dish rest briefly before serving to let the flavors meld. Serve with your favorite sides or enjoy on its own.
Notes
- Cut veggies evenly to ensure consistent cooking.
- Line the sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
- Do not overcrowd the pan; leave space so ingredients roast rather than steam.
- Adjust cooking time if substituting vegetables with different softness or density.
- For extra flavor depth, marinate kielbasa and vegetables in the glaze for 10-15 minutes before roasting.
