Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 lb (about 450g) of your favorite sausage (pork, chicken, or turkey sausage work great)
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional for extra flavor)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley or thyme for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare the sweet potatoes by peeling and cubing them into bite-sized pieces. Toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
- Cook the sausage in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked, about 7-10 minutes. Slice into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
- Arrange the sweet potato cubes on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through.
- In a small bowl, combine honey and minced garlic to make the glaze. During the last 5 minutes of roasting, pour the glaze over the sweet potatoes and sausage to coat everything evenly.
- Continue roasting until the glaze is caramelized and sweet potatoes are tender.
- Combine roasted sweet potatoes and sausage on a serving platter. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or thyme.
- Serve hot and enjoy a wholesome, flavorful meal.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the glaze.
- This dish can be prepped in advance and stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
- Reheat thoroughly before serving, either in the microwave or oven.
- Use your preferred type of sausage; plant-based options work too for a vegetarian variation.
