Ingredients
  

  • 12–14 oz kielbasa (turkey or chicken for lighter, pork or beef for classic)
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 cups bell peppers, sliced (any colors)
  • 1 cup red onion, sliced
  • 2 cups zucchini or yellow squash, half-moons
  • 1 cup carrots, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (optional but great)
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional for heat)
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar or rice vinegar
  • Optional garnishes: chopped parsley, sesame seeds, lemon wedges

Method
 

  1. Preheat and prep: Heat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment for easy cleanup.
  2. Slice the kielbasa: Cut into 1/2-inch coins so they crisp without drying out.
  3. Prep the veggies: Keep pieces similar in size for even cooking. Thinner carrots help them cook through.
  4. Toss with oil and seasoning: Add vegetables and kielbasa to the pan. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and red pepper flakes. Toss to coat and spread in a single layer.
  5. Start the roast: Bake for 12 minutes to begin caramelizing the edges.
  6. Make the sauce: Stir together honey, garlic, soy sauce, Dijon, and vinegar. Taste and adjust—more honey for sweet, more soy for savory.
  7. Sauce and finish: Pull the pan out, pour the sauce over, and toss well. Return to the oven for 8–12 minutes, until veggies are tender-crisp and kielbasa is browned and glossy.
  8. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle parsley or sesame seeds. Add a squeeze of lemon for brightness. Serve as is, or over brown rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice.
