Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb smoked sausage or kielbasa, sliced into rounds
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Sauce Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Garnish
- Chopped parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat and Roast Sweet Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the peeled and diced sweet potatoes on a large sheet pan with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread them out evenly and roast for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- Cook Sausage: While the sweet potatoes roast, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced sausage rounds and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until browned and the edges are crisp. Remove from heat and set aside to keep warm.
- Create Honey Garlic Sauce: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in the honey, soy sauce, and smoked paprika. Let the mixture simmer gently for 1 to 2 minutes until it thickens slightly.
- Combine and Finish Roasting: After the initial 20 minutes of roasting, remove the sheet pan from the oven. Add the cooked sausage to the sweet potatoes, then pour the honey garlic sauce over all the ingredients. Toss everything together to coat evenly. Return the pan to the oven and roast for an additional 10 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and caramelized.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy this sweet and savory dish as a flavorful main course.
Notes
- You can cook this dish entirely on the stovetop by sautéing the diced sweet potatoes until tender and then adding the sausage and sauce.
- For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the honey garlic sauce.
- Use smoked sausage or kielbasa for authentic flavor, but other sausages can also be used based on preference.
- Adjust the amount of honey and soy sauce to taste if you prefer it sweeter or saltier.
