FAQs

Can I use frozen vegetables?

What’s the best type of sausage for this recipe?

Can I make the sauce ahead of time?

Yes, prepare and refrigerate the sauce up to 3 days ahead. Reheat before using.

Is this recipe gluten-free?

It can be! Be sure to use gluten-free soy sauce and sausage.

Can I add protein or grains to make it more filling?

Yes, serve over quinoa, rice, or couscous for a heartier meal.

What if my broccoli gets too crispy?

Cut broccoli into slightly larger florets and stir halfway through roasting to prevent over-browning.

Can I double the recipe?

Yes, use two sheet pans and rotate them halfway through baking to ensure even cooking.

What wine pairs well with this dish?

A crisp white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or a light red like Pinot Noir pairs nicely with the sweet and savory flavors.
