Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel and cube the sweet potatoes into 1-inch pieces. Soak the cubes in water for 10 minutes to remove excess starch, if desired.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the honey garlic sausage for 8-10 minutes until browned and cooked through. Slice into bite-sized pieces.
In a large bowl, toss together the sweet potato cubes, sliced sausage, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Optionally, add paprika for extra flavor.
Spread the mixture evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the oven for 30-35 minutes, stirring halfway through. The sweet potatoes should be tender and caramelized.
Once done, remove from the oven and garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

If using raw sausage, ensure it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to ensure proper roasting.
Feel free to substitute the sausage with turkey, chicken, or plant-based sausage for different dietary preferences.
This recipe can easily be made ahead by preparing the sweet potatoes and sausage in advance and roasting when ready.
