Description

Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 12 oz Smoked sausage or fully cooked sausage, sliced into coins (Kielbasa style sausage is recommended.)
- 2 cups Sweet potatoes, peeled or unpeeled, cut into bite-size chunks (Cut sweet potatoes close in size for even cooking.)
- 1/4 cup Honey (Can adjust amount based on sweetness preference.)
- 3 cloves Garlic, fresh minced or grated (Add more for extra garlic flavor.)
- 3 tbsp Soy sauce or coconut aminos (Can substitute with Worcestershire sauce.)
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Salt (Adjust according to taste, especially if sausage is salty.)
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Paprika or red pepper flakes (Optional for heat.)
- 1 cup Optional vegetables (broccoli, bell peppers, or red onion) (Add for extra color and flavor.)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This ensures better browning.
- In a small bowl, combine honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, and a splash of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
- On a sheet pan, toss sweet potatoes with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 10 to 15 minutes to give them a head start.
- Remove the pan from the oven, add sliced sausage and any quick-cooking vegetables, and pour the honey garlic sauce over everything. Toss to combine.
- Roast everything for another 15 to 20 minutes, stirring once midway through, until sausage is browned and sweet potatoes are fork-tender.
- Taste and adjust seasoning. Drizzle with additional honey for a glossy finish if desired.
Notes
For best results, avoid overcrowding the pan; this prevents steaming. Use parchment paper for easier cleanup and to promote browning.
