Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb sausage (your choice) pre-cased or bulk; see notes below for swaps
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed cut into even pieces (about 1/2 to 3/4-inch)
  • 1/4 cup honey can reduce to 2 tablespoons for less sweetness or swap for maple syrup
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced add towards the end of browning the sausage to avoid bitterness
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Position a rack in the center.
  2. Toss the cubed sweet potatoes in a large bowl with olive oil, salt, and pepper until lightly coated.
  3. Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet.
Cooking
  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and brown, breaking it into bite-size pieces. Cook until seared and no longer pink inside.
  2. Push the sausage to the pan edge, add the minced garlic, and cook about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Drizzle the honey over the browned sausage and stir to coat, letting it warm and become slightly syrupy for about 30 seconds to a minute.
  4. Pour the honey garlic sausage mixture over the sweet potatoes on the baking sheet. Gently toss to combine.
  5. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, tossing once halfway through, until sweet potatoes are tender and caramelized at the edges.
  6. Let the sheet rest for a couple of minutes before serving. Sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired.
