Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound (1 lb) sausage
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
Sauce Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Seasoning and Cooking Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the oven at 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal roasting.
- Coat sweet potatoes with olive oil, seasoning them generously with salt, pepper, and paprika, then spread evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast sweet potatoes for 15 minutes until they begin to soften and develop golden edges.
- While potatoes roast, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium temperature and sear sausage slices until they achieve a rich, caramelized brown color.
- Create the honey garlic sauce by whisking together honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, and finely minced garlic in a small mixing bowl.
- Remove sweet potatoes from the oven and combine with the browned sausage slices.
- Drizzle the entire mixture with the prepared honey garlic sauce, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated.
- Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the sauce to caramelize and intensify the flavors.
- Once finished, the dish should have a glossy, sticky exterior with deep golden-brown coloration.
Notes
- Swap pork sausage with chicken or turkey sausage for a leaner protein option that keeps the dish light and healthy.
- Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley or green onions after baking to add a bright, fresh contrast to the rich, sweet, and savory flavors.
- Use gluten-free soy sauce or tamari to make this recipe completely gluten-free without compromising the delicious sauce’s depth and complexity.
- Cut sweet potatoes into uniform bite-sized pieces to ensure even roasting and prevent some chunks from burning while others remain undercooked.
