Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz fully cooked smoked sausage (kielbasa, turkey, or chicken), sliced into 1/2-inch coins
  • 2 large sweet potatoes (about 1.5 lbs), peeled and diced into 3/4-inch cubes
  • 1 medium red onion, peeled and cut into wedges
  • 1 large red bell pepper, chopped into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 large green bell pepper, chopped
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
  • 3/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
  • Fresh parsley or chives, chopped (optional, for garnish)
  • Red pepper flakes (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. Peel and dice sweet potatoes into 3/4-inch cubes. Chop bell peppers and onion into bite-sized pieces. Slice sausage into 1/2-inch thick coins.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, olive oil, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar or lemon juice, kosher salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika (if using).
  4. In a large mixing bowl, add sweet potatoes, peppers, onion, and sausage. Pour the honey garlic glaze over the top and toss well to coat everything evenly.
  5. Spread the mixture onto the prepared sheet pan in a single, even layer. Avoid crowding for best caramelization.
  6. Roast in the oven for 25-28 minutes, tossing gently with a spatula at the 15-minute mark for even browning.
  7. Check for doneness: sweet potatoes should be fork-tender and caramelized, sausage golden and sticky. If needed, roast 3-5 minutes longer.
  8. Remove from oven and garnish with fresh parsley or chives and red pepper flakes if desired. Serve hot, family-style.

Notes

Cut veggies and sausage into uniform sizes for even roasting. Don’t crowd the pan—use two pans if needed. Flip halfway for best caramelization. Watch the glaze to prevent burning. Recipe is flexible: swap veggies, use plant-based sausage, or adjust glaze to taste. Leftovers store well and flavors deepen overnight.
