Instructions

Step 1

Prep the Veggies: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and chop broccoli florets, slice mushrooms and onion, and halve cherry tomatoes (leave whole if preferred).

Step 2

Cook the Protein: If using sausage, brown the links in a large skillet over medium heat. Break into bite-sized pieces with a spoon. If using ground chicken, cook in the same skillet until browned and crumbled. If using lentils, skip this step.

Step 3

Assemble the Sheet Pan: Transfer the cooked protein to a rimmed baking sheet. Scatter the broccoli florets, mushrooms, onions, and cherry tomatoes around the protein.

Step 4

Make the Balsamic Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and garlic. Drizzle the glaze evenly over the veggies and protein. (Optional: Add honey to the glaze for a touch of sweetness.)

Step 5

Roast: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the veggies are tender and the sausage is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F for chicken).

Step 6

Serve: Plate the roasted veggies and protein, spooning any remaining glaze over them. Serve with crusty bread for dipping, if desired. Top with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves.

Step 7

Tips:

For a vegetarian option, omit the sausage and use cooked lentils instead.
