Ingredients
Scale
- 4 sausages (pork, chicken, or turkey), sliced
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Arrange oven rack in the middle position and heat to 400F (200C) for optimal roasting.
- Whisk together a vibrant sauce combining olive oil, honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, paprika, salt, and black pepper until smoothly blended.
- Coat sweet potato chunks thoroughly with half the prepared sauce, ensuring even distribution.
- Spread seasoned sweet potatoes across a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer, creating space between pieces for proper caramelization.
- Roast sweet potatoes for 15 minutes, allowing edges to crisp and develop golden-brown coloration.
- Remove baking sheet and arrange sliced sausages among the partially roasted sweet potatoes.
- Drizzle remaining sauce over sausages and potato pieces, gently tossing to coat all surfaces evenly.
- Return to oven and continue roasting for 15-20 minutes until sweet potatoes reach tender consistency and sausages develop a rich, caramelized exterior.
- Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley across the dish for a burst of color and herbal freshness.
- Serve immediately while ingredients remain hot and sauce maintains its glossy sheen.
Notes
- Swap sausages for plant-based alternatives to create a vegetarian version that maintains the dish’s rich flavor profile.
- Adjust honey to maple syrup for a lower glycemic index option that keeps the sweet and savory balance intact.
- Cut sweet potatoes into uniform chunks to ensure even roasting and prevent uneven cooking textures.
- Use high-quality smoked sausage for deeper flavor complexity and more robust taste experience.
