Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 pound honey garlic sausage, sliced into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika (optional, for smoky depth)
- fresh parsley or thyme (optional, for garnish)
- bell peppers or onions (optional, for extra nutrition)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). A hot oven helps caramelize the sweet potatoes for maximum flavor and crispiness.
- Peel and cut sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes. For crispier results, soak cubes in cold water for 10 minutes to remove starch, then pat dry thoroughly.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook honey garlic sausage for 8–10 minutes until browned and cooked through (165°F internal temperature if raw). Slice into bite-sized pieces.
- In a large bowl, combine sweet potatoes, sausage, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and paprika (if using). Toss until evenly coated.
- Spread mixture evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding to ensure roasting instead of steaming.
- Roast for 30–35 minutes, stirring halfway through. Sweet potatoes should be caramelized and fork-tender, and sausage golden and crisp.
- Remove from oven, cool for 2–3 minutes, and garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve warm as a complete one-pan meal!
