Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 lb (450g) honey garlic sausage, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley or thyme for garnish (optional)
- Red pepper flakes for a spicy kick (optional)
Instructions
- Start by peeling and cubing the sweet potatoes. Toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika if using. Roast at 400°F (200°C) for 25-30 minutes until tender and caramelized.
- While roasting, heat a large skillet over medium heat with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Cook the sliced sausage until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove sausage and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Pour in honey, stirring to combine. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Return the sausage to the skillet, coating with the honey garlic glaze. Add roasted sweet potatoes and gently toss. Cook for a couple of minutes to meld flavors.
- Garnish with fresh parsley or thyme, sprinkle red pepper flakes if desired. Serve hot with your favorite sides.
Notes
- You can substitute other types of sausage such as chicken, turkey, or chorizo for different flavor profiles.
- To keep sweet potatoes crispy upon reheating, reheat in a skillet over medium heat rather than in the microwave.
- For extra spice, add more red pepper flakes or a dash of cayenne pepper.
