Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb turkey or chicken sausage (uncooked links or precooked)
- 3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 small red onion, sliced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- For the Honey Garlic Sauce:
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- ½ tsp smoked paprika (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Prep the Ingredients: Dice sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Slice the onion and cut sausages if they’re too long.
- Toss and Arrange: In a large bowl, toss sweet potatoes and onions with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on the sheet pan. Nestle sausage pieces throughout.
- Make the Sauce: Whisk together honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, vinegar, garlic, and paprika. Drizzle half of this sauce over everything on the pan.
- Roast: Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping once halfway through. The sausage should be browned and sweet potatoes fork-tender.
- Finish with Flavor: Drizzle the remaining sauce over the hot pan and gently toss to coat. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Dice potatoes evenly for consistent cooking.
- Do not overcrowd the pan; use two trays if needed.
- Flip halfway through roasting for even browning.
- If using precooked sausage, add halfway to avoid drying out.
- Use fresh garlic for the most flavorful glaze.
- Storage: refrigerate up to 4 days or freeze cooked portions for 2 months.
- Reheat in oven or air fryer at 350°F for best texture.
- Variations: add bell peppers, Brussels sprouts, or swap in tofu, chicken, or vegan sausage.
