- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Cooking Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
- Prepare a baking sheet and heat the oven to 400F (200C) for optimal roasting.
- Coat sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika, ensuring even distribution of seasonings.
- Roast sweet potatoes for 20 minutes until they develop golden edges and become tender.
- While potatoes roast, slice sausages into uniform pieces for consistent cooking.
- Sauté sausage slices in a pan over medium heat, browning each side for 5-7 minutes until edges are crisp.
- Create the honey garlic sauce by whisking together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, and Dijon mustard in a small bowl.
- Transfer roasted sweet potatoes directly into the pan with browned sausages.
- Pour the prepared honey garlic sauce over the sausages and sweet potatoes, gently stirring to ensure complete coating.

- Remove from heat and sprinkle fresh chopped parsley across the dish for a vibrant finishing touch.
- Serve immediately while the sausages and sweet potatoes are hot and sauce is glistening.
Notes
- Swap sweet potatoes with regular potatoes or butternut squash for different flavor profiles and textures.
- Use turkey or chicken sausage to reduce fat content and create a lighter meal option.
- Adjust honey garlic sauce sweetness by adding more or less honey depending on personal preference.
- Sprinkle red pepper flakes for extra heat and complexity in the dish’s overall flavor.
