This one-pan Honey Garlic Sausage Sweet Potatoes recipe is a delicious and easy dinner. Tender sweet potatoes, savory sausage, and a sticky-sweet honey garlic glaze roast together for a flavorful meal with minimal cleanup.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb turkey or chicken sausage (uncooked links or precooked)
- 3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 small red onion, sliced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- For the Honey Garlic Sauce:
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- ½ tsp smoked paprika (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prep Ingredients: Cube sweet potatoes into 1-inch pieces. Slice the red onion. Cut sausages if they are too long.
- Toss and Arrange: In a large bowl, toss the sweet potatoes and onion with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Nestle the sausage pieces among the vegetables.
- Make the Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, and smoked paprika (if using).
- Roast: Drizzle half of the honey garlic sauce over the sausage and vegetables on the baking sheet. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping the contents halfway through, until the sausage is browned and the sweet potatoes are fork-tender.
- Finish with Flavor: Remove the pan from the oven and drizzle the remaining honey garlic sauce over the hot ingredients. Gently toss to coat everything. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For even cooking, dice the sweet potatoes into uniform sizes.
- Avoid overcrowding the pan; use two baking sheets if necessary.
- Flipping the ingredients halfway through roasting helps ensure even browning and caramelization.
- If using precooked sausage, add it to the pan during the last 15-20 minutes of baking to prevent it from drying out.
- Using fresh garlic in the sauce will enhance its flavor.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in an oven or air fryer at 350°F for the best texture.
- Variations include adding bell peppers, Brussels sprouts, or substituting tofu, chicken, or vegan sausage.
