Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound Italian sausage sweet or hot
  • 2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 4-5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish optional
  • Green onions, sliced, for garnish optional
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

  • Oven
  • baking sheet
  • Large bowl
  • small saucepan

  • knife
  • cutting board
  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons
  • Serving dish

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Peel and cube sweet potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Slice sausage into ½-inch thick rounds.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  4. Add the sausage rounds to the same baking sheet.
  5. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and the sausage is cooked through, flipping halfway through.
  6. While the sweet potatoes and sausage are roasting, prepare the honey garlic sauce. In a small saucepan, whisk together the honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes (if using).
  7. Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until it thickens slightly, stirring occasionally. Be careful not to burn the garlic!
  8. Once the sweet potatoes and sausage are cooked, transfer them to a large bowl.
  9. Pour the honey garlic sauce over the sweet potatoes and sausage, and toss to coat everything evenly.
  10. Transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Don't overcook the sweet potatoes; you want them tender but not mushy. Adjust the sauce to your liking by adding more honey for sweetness or red pepper flakes for heat. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Try adding different vegetables like broccoli or bell peppers for variation.
