How to Make Honey Garlic Sausage Sweet Potatoes
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prep the potatoes: In a large bowl, toss sweet potatoes with 2 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on the sheet pan in a single layer.
- Roast the potatoes for 15 minutes, flipping once halfway.
- Prepare the honey garlic glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, garlic, soy sauce, Dijon mustard (if using), and remaining 1 tbsp olive oil.
- Add sausage to pan: After 15 minutes, scatter sliced sausage over the potatoes. Drizzle the honey garlic sauce evenly over everything.
- Return to oven and roast for another 15–20 minutes, until sausage is browned and potatoes are fork-tender.
