- 3 tablespoons (3 tbsp) honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon (1 tbsp) soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon (1 tsp) dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon (1 tsp) apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons (2 tbsp) olive oil
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste

Instructions
- Warm the oven to 400F (200C) for optimal roasting conditions.

- Remove roasted sweet potatoes from oven and combine with seared sausage slices.
- Drizzle prepared honey garlic sauce over the mixture, thoroughly coating each component.

Notes
- Slice sausages uniformly to ensure even cooking and consistent caramelization.
- Swap pork sausage with chicken or turkey sausage for a leaner protein option that maintains delicious flavor.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce to control salt content and accommodate dietary restrictions.
- Adjust honey amount based on preferred sweetness level, allowing personalization of the sauce’s intensity.
