Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 pound sausage, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds optional
  • 2 green onions, sliced optional
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Large bowl
  • Cutting board
  • Knife
  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons
  • Whisk
  • Small bowl
  • Large baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Peel and cube sweet potatoes into roughly 1-inch pieces. Place them in a large bowl.
  3. Drizzle the sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
  4. Cut the sausage into bite-sized pieces.
  5. Spread the sweet potatoes and sausage in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Roast for 20 minutes.
  7. While the sweet potatoes and sausage are roasting, prepare the honey garlic glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes (if using).
  8. After 20 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Pour the honey garlic glaze over the sweet potatoes and sausage. Toss to coat everything evenly.
  9. Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for another 15-20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and slightly caramelized and the sausage is nicely glazed. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning!
  10. Once the sweet potatoes and sausage are cooked to perfection, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions (if using).
  11. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Don't overcrowd the baking sheet. Use high-quality sausage. Adjust the sweetness and spice to your preference. Watch the glaze carefully to prevent burning. For gluten-free, use gluten-free sausage and tamari instead of soy sauce. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
