Ingredients
Scale
- 4 hearty sausage links (your choice of sweet Italian or spicy sausage)
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Peel and cube the sweet potatoes, mince the garlic, and slice the sausage links into rounds for even cooking.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the sweet potato cubes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika if using. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until tender and caramelized.
- While roasting, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add sausage slices and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add 1 teaspoon olive oil and minced garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in honey and cook for another minute to make a sticky glaze.
- Add roasted sweet potatoes and sausage back into the skillet. Toss to coat everything in the honey garlic sauce and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to meld flavors. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- Ensure sausage is cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F for safety if using raw sausage.
- Sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes for extra heat if desired.
- Maple syrup can be substituted for honey for a different sweetness profile.
