Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound Italian sausage sweet or hot
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed into 1-inch pieces
  • 1-2 bell peppers any color
  • 1 medium red onion, peeled and chopped
  • 4-5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar optional
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil optional
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes or more to taste
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Sesame seeds for garnish optional
  • Chopped green onions for garnish optional
  • Fresh parsley for garnish optional

Equipment

  • Large sheet pan
  • parchment paper
  • Large bowl
  • small bowl
  • whisk
  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons
  • knife
  • Cutting board

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the cubed sweet potatoes, chopped bell peppers, and chopped red onion with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Make sure everything is evenly coated.
  4. Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan.
  5. Place the sausage pieces among the vegetables on the sheet pan.
  6. Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
  7. While the sausage and vegetables are roasting, prepare the honey garlic sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar (if using), sesame oil (if using), and red pepper flakes.
  8. After 20 minutes, remove the sheet pan from the oven and pour the honey garlic sauce evenly over the sausage and vegetables.
  9. Return the sheet pan to the oven and roast for another 15-20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and the sausage is cooked through and nicely browned.
  10. Remove the sheet pan from the oven and let it cool slightly before garnishing with sesame seeds, chopped green onions, and fresh parsley (if using).
  11. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

For easier cleanup, ensure the parchment paper fully covers the sheet pan. To prevent sticking, lightly drizzle the parchment paper with olive oil before adding the vegetables. For extra crispy sweet potatoes, consider increasing the oven temperature to 425°F for the last 10 minutes of cooking. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through. For a vegetarian option, substitute the sausage with firm tofu or tempeh, cubed and tossed with a bit of olive oil and your favorite seasonings before roasting.
