Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb sweet Italian sausage, sliced
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, diced
  • 1 large red onion, chopped
  • 2 bell peppers, chopped (any color)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp water (for slurry)
  • salt and black pepper to taste
  • parsley or sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

Equipment

  • sheet pan
  • mixing bowl
  • saucepan
  • cutting board
  • knife
  • parchment paper
  • spatula or spoon

Method
 

  1. Peel and dice the sweet potatoes. Chop the red onion and bell peppers into bite-sized pieces for even roasting.
  2. In a large bowl, toss all the vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. Add the sliced sausage rounds on top of the vegetables, spacing them evenly across the pan.
  4. Roast in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes until the sweet potatoes are tender and sausage is browned.
  5. In a saucepan, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Simmer over medium heat. Add the cornstarch slurry (1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water) and stir until the glaze thickens.
  6. Remove the roasted sheet pan from the oven. Drizzle the honey garlic glaze over everything and gently toss to coat. Garnish and serve hot.

Notes

Swap sausage for plant-based or chicken sausage. Add red pepper flakes or sriracha for heat. Roasted apples or cranberries offer a fun fall twist. To avoid steaming, don’t overcrowd your sheet pan. Make the sauce up to 2 days ahead for quicker prep.
