Ingredients

  • Sausage: 1 pound of Italian sausage, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • Sweet Potatoes: 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1-inch cubes
  • Vegetables: 1 red bell pepper, sliced; 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced; 1 red onion, cut into wedges
  • Honey Garlic Sauce: 1/4 cup honey; 3 cloves garlic, minced; 2 tablespoons soy sauce; 1 tablespoon olive oil; 1 teaspoon smoked paprika; salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the diced sweet potatoes, bell peppers, and onion.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the honey, garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  4. Add the sausage pieces to the vegetable mixture and pour the honey garlic sauce over everything, tossing to coat evenly.
  5. Spread the mixture in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the sausage is browned and the sweet potatoes are tender and caramelized.
  7. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
