Ingredients

Scale
  • 14 oz fully cooked smoked sausage (chicken, pork, turkey, or vegan), sliced into 1/2-inch coins
  • 2 large sweet potatoes (about 1.5 lbs), peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1 medium red onion, sliced into thick wedges
  • 1 large bell pepper (any color), chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) with the rack in the center position.
  2. Peel and cut sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes. Slice sausage into 1/2-inch coins. Chop red onion into wedges and bell pepper into chunks, keeping pieces even for uniform roasting.
  3. In a large bowl, combine sweet potatoes, sausage, onion, and bell pepper. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss until everything is lightly coated.
  4. Spread the mixture in a single layer on a lined sheet pan (use parchment or foil for easy cleanup). Avoid overlapping.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and red pepper flakes (if using).
  6. Pour half the glaze over the pan ingredients and toss gently to coat. Reserve the rest of the glaze.
  7. Roast for 20 minutes.
  8. Remove the pan from the oven, gently flip everything with a spatula, and drizzle the remaining glaze evenly on top. Toss again.
  9. Return to the oven and roast for another 15-18 minutes, until sweet potatoes are fork-tender and edges are golden.
  10. If needed, bake an additional 3-5 minutes for extra caramelization. Let cool for 3-5 minutes before serving.
  11. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley or a squeeze of lemon if desired.

Notes

Cut sweet potatoes and sausage evenly for best results. Don’t crowd the pan to ensure roasting, not steaming. Flip halfway and glaze in two stages for maximum flavor. Line your pan for easy cleanup. For a vegetarian version, use plant-based sausage. Check sausage and soy sauce labels for gluten if needed.
