Ingredients
  

4 chicken sausages

2 cups broccoli florets

1 cup baby carrots, halved lengthwise

1 red onion, cut into wedges

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

2 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will ensure it is hot enough to roast the chicken sausage and vegetables perfectly.

    Prepare the Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli florets, halved baby carrots, red onion wedges, and halved cherry tomatoes. Drizzle the vegetables with extra-virgin olive oil, then sprinkle with salt, freshly ground black pepper, dried thyme, and smoked paprika. Toss everything together thoroughly to ensure all the vegetables are well coated with the seasoning.

      Add the Chicken Sausages: Slice each chicken sausage into bite-sized pieces and gently fold them into the bowl with the seasoned vegetables.

        Create the Sticky Balsamic Sauce: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar and honey until well combined. Pour this sticky sauce over the vegetable and sausage mixture, ensuring every piece is evenly coated for rich flavor.

          Arrange on a Baking Tray: Transfer the entire mixture to a large baking tray, spreading it out evenly in a single layer. This helps all the ingredients cook uniformly and become perfectly caramelized.

            Bake the Traybake: Place the baking tray in your preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. About halfway through the cooking time, stir the mixture gently to encourage even cooking and caramelization.

              Serve and Garnish: Once the sausages are fully cooked and the vegetables are tender, remove the tray from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. If desired, garnish with fresh basil leaves for added color and aroma. Serve warm and enjoy this delightful sticky dish!

                  Optional Presentation Tips: For an appealing presentation, serve the traybake family-style in the baking tray or transfer it to a large serving platter. Ensure to drizzle any remaining sticky sauce from the pan over the top just before serving for that extra shine!
