Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs sweet potatoes peeled and cubed
  • 1 lb sausage Italian or your favorite kind, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking Sheet
  • Large Bowl
  • Small Bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss sweet potatoes and sausage with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Make sure everything is well coated.
  3. Spread the mixture in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until sweet potatoes are tender and sausage is cooked through, flipping halfway.
  5. While the sweet potatoes and sausage are baking, prepare the honey garlic sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together garlic, honey, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes (if using).
  6. Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Pour the honey garlic sauce over the sweet potato and sausage mixture.
  7. Mix everything well to coat evenly.
  8. Return to the oven for another 5-10 minutes, or until the sauce is caramelized and sticky.
  9. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy immediately.

Notes

Spread mixture in single layer on baking sheet for even cooking. Flip halfway through initial baking time. Adjust red pepper flakes to control spice level. Ensure sweet potatoes are tender and sausage is cooked through before adding sauce. Sauce should be caramelized and sticky when finished. Serve immediately for best texture.
