# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and dice 1 1/2 lbs sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Roughly chop 1/2 medium red onion and 1 large bell pepper. This initial prep is key for your delicious 30-Minute Sausage & Sweet Potatoes with Honey Garlic Sauce.
02 -
On a large baking sheet, combine the diced sweet potatoes, chopped red onion, chopped bell pepper, and 1 lb pre-cooked chicken or turkey sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds. Drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil, then season with salt and black pepper to taste. Toss well to coat evenly.
03 -
Spread the mixture in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 15 minutes, allowing the sweet potatoes to soften and the sausage to warm through. This step ensures a good head start for your 30-Minute Sausage & Sweet Potatoes with Honey Garlic Sauce.
04 -
While the components roast, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup honey, 3 cloves minced garlic, 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce, 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, 1 tsp cornstarch, and 1 tbsp water until smooth.
05 -
After 15 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Pour the prepared honey garlic glaze over the roasted sweet potatoes, sausage, and vegetables. Toss everything gently to coat. Return to the oven and roast for another 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly and everything is caramelized.
06 -
Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Garnish your finished 30-Minute Sausage & Sweet Potatoes with Honey Garlic Sauce with 2 tbsp fresh chopped parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy this quick, flavorful meal.
