Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs lean beef or turkey sausage, pre-cooked, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
- 2 large sweet potatoes (about 1.5 lbs), peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 red onion, cut into 1-inch wedges
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- For the Honey Garlic Sauce:
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp grated fresh ginger (optional)
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for a hint of heat)
- Fresh parsley or green onions, chopped, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a large bowl, combine the sweet potato cubes and red onion wedges. Drizzle with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss until everything is evenly coated.
- Spread the sweet potatoes and red onion in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 15 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are starting to soften and lightly brown.
- While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the honey garlic sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, minced garlic, low-sodium soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, grated ginger (if using), and red pepper flakes (if using) until well combined.
- After 15 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Add the sliced beef or turkey sausage to the baking sheet with the sweet potatoes and onions. Drizzle about half of the honey garlic sauce over everything, tossing gently to coat.
- Return the baking sheet to the oven and continue to roast for another 10-15 minutes, or until the sausage is heated through and slightly caramelized, and the sweet potatoes are tender. For extra crispiness, you can broil for the last 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- Remove from the oven, drizzle with the remaining honey garlic sauce, and garnish with fresh parsley or green onions if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your vibrant, flavor-packed meal!
Notes
For a spicier kick, increase the red pepper flakes. This dish is fantastic for meal prep; simply store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. You can also add other vegetables like bell peppers or broccoli florets during the last 10 minutes of roasting for more variety.
