Ingredients
Scale

- Sweet Potatoes: 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed into 1-inch pieces
- Honey Garlic Sauce:
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- Olive Oil: 2 tablespoons for roasting

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, toss the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Spread the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 20 minutes.
- While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare the honey garlic sauce by whisking together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and ground ginger in a small bowl.
- After 20 minutes, remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and add the sliced sausage to the baking sheet.
