Ingredients
Scale
Sausage and Vegetables
- 4 links Sausages (Pork, chicken, or turkey)
- 2 medium Sweet Potatoes, diced
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
Honey Garlic Sauce
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1/3 cup Honey (or Maple syrup as vegan option)
- 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce (Gluten-free if necessary)
- 1/2 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the sweet potatoes.
- Prepare Sweet Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- Roast Sweet Potatoes: Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even browning and tenderness.
- Cook Sausages: While the sweet potatoes are roasting, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the sausages and sauté them for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Make Garlic Butter Sauce: Reduce the heat to low and add butter to the skillet with the sausages. Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for about one minute until fragrant.
- Add Honey Garlic Sauce Ingredients: Pour in the honey (or maple syrup), soy sauce, and red pepper flakes. Stir and cook the mixture for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Glaze Sausages: Return the sausages to the skillet and toss them in the sauce. Allow them to simmer for a couple of minutes so they absorb the flavors.
- Serve: Plate the roasted sweet potatoes and top them with the glazed sausages. Drizzle any remaining sauce over the dish and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use maple syrup instead of honey to make this recipe vegan-friendly.
- Choose gluten-free soy sauce if you need the dish to be gluten-free.
- Turn the sweet potatoes halfway through roasting to ensure even cooking.
- Adjust red pepper flakes according to your spice preference.
- This dish pairs well with a side of steamed greens or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
