Ingredients

• 2 large sweet potatoes, chopped into bite-sized cubes
• 1 red onion, chopped
• 2 bell peppers (any color), chopped
• 1 lb chicken breast, chopped into bite-sized pieces (or extra-firm tofu, pressed & cubed for vegan option)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• For finishing:
• 1 tbsp chili oil
• 1–2 jalapeños, thinly sliced
• ½ cup feta cheese chunks (use vegan feta for plant-based)
• 2–3 tbsp honey (or hot honey; swap for maple syrup + chili flakes for vegan)

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly oil it.
• Prep the sheet pan → Toss sweet potatoes, onions, peppers, and chicken (or tofu) with olive oil, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Spread everything in a single layer.
• Bake for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (165°F internal temp) or tofu is golden and edges crisp.
• Add the hot honey topping → Drizzle with chili oil, scatter sliced jalapeños, sprinkle feta chunks, and drizzle with honey (or maple syrup).
• Broil for 5 minutes until everything caramelizes and gets slightly charred.
• Serve hot over rice, pasta, polenta, or even crusty bread for a complete meal.

Tips for the Best Hot Honey Sheet Pan Meal

• Make it vegan → use tofu + maple syrup instead of honey.
• Extra crispy tofu → press it well, toss with cornstarch before baking.
• More heat? Add red pepper flakes or use a spicier chili oil.
• Meal prep hack → double the recipe and store portions in airtight containers for up to 4 days.
