Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 pound honey garlic sausage, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon paprika (optional)
- Fresh herbs like parsley or thyme for garnish (optional)
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.
