Description
Sausage and sweet potatoes are a match made in culinary heaven, and when you add a delectable honey garlic sauce to the mix, the result is a dish that’s both comforting and bursting with flavor.
Ingredients
- 12 oz smoked sausage, sliced into rounds
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed (about 4 cups)
- 2 tbsp olive oil (divided)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
1. First, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the cubed sweet potatoes with 1 tbsp of olive oil and spread them out on a baking sheet. Roast the sweet potatoes for 20 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they’re tender and lightly browned.
2. While the sweet potatoes are roasting, heat the remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced sausage and cook until it’s nicely browned, about 4-5 minutes.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and smoked paprika (if using) to create the flavorful honey garlic sauce.
4. Once the sweet potatoes are roasted, add them to the skillet with the sausage. Pour the honey garlic sauce over the top and toss everything together to coat it evenly. Allow the dish to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, letting the sauce thicken slightly.
5. Finally, garnish the Sausage and Sweet Potatoes with Honey Garlic Sauce with the fresh chopped parsley and serve it warm.
Notes
The beauty of this recipe is its versatility. Here are a few ideas to customize it to your liking:
– Swap the Protein: While smoked sausage is the star of the show, you can easily substitute it with other proteins like chicken, ground turkey, or even cubed tofu for a vegetarian option.
– Add More Veggies: Feel free to toss in additional roasted vegetables like Brussels sprouts, carrots, or bell peppers to make it a more well-rounded meal.
– Spice it Up: For a little extra heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the honey garlic sauce.
– Try Different Sauces: If you’re not in the mood for honey garlic, you can experiment with other sauce variations, such as a teriyaki or balsamic glaze.
