Ingredients
  

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 pound Italian sausage sweet or hot
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
  • Chopped fresh parsley or green onions optional
  • Sesame seeds optional

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking sheet
  • Large bowl
  • Large Skillet
  • Spoon
  • Small bowl
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons
  • Knife
  • Cutting board

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss the cubed sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  4. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the sausage, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
  5. Cook until the sausage is no longer pink and drain off any excess grease.
  6. Bake the sweet potatoes for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized, flipping halfway through.
  7. While the sweet potatoes are baking, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and red pepper flakes (if using).
  8. Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, add the browned sausage to the baking sheet with the sweet potatoes.
  9. Pour the honey garlic glaze over the sweet potatoes and sausage, tossing everything together to coat evenly.
  10. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for another 5-7 minutes, or until the glaze is bubbly and slightly sticky.
  11. Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped fresh parsley or green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
  12. Serve immediately.

Notes

For even cooking, cut sweet potatoes into uniform cubes. Don't overcrowd the baking sheet; use two if necessary. Experiment with different types of sausage. Adjust red pepper flakes to your spice preference. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven.
