Print Recipe

A quick and flavorful weeknight dinner featuring crispy sausage and tender roasted sweet potatoes glazed with a sticky honey-sriracha sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb sausage (Italian, chicken, or spicy chorizo)
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes (about 1 lb), peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tbsp honey (preferably raw or wildflower)
  • 1 tbsp sriracha sauce
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (extra virgin preferred)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Peel and cut sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Toss in a mixing bowl with 1 tbsp olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Slice sausage links into 1-inch pieces. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown sausage pieces 3-4 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Remove to a plate.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together honey and sriracha sauce. Adjust sriracha to taste.
  5. Place seasoned sweet potatoes on the prepared baking sheet. Nestle browned sausage pieces among the potatoes. Drizzle half the honey-sriracha glaze over everything and toss gently to coat. Reserve the rest of the glaze.
  6. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, tossing halfway through, until sweet potatoes are tender and caramelized and sausage is crispy.
  7. Five minutes before the end, brush the reserved honey-sriracha glaze on the sausage and potatoes again for a sticky finish.
  8. Remove from oven, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan when browning sausage to ensure crispiness. Pat sausage dry before cooking. Roast sweet potatoes at high temperature (425°F) for caramelization. Brush glaze near the end to prevent burning. Tent with foil if sweet potatoes brown too fast. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days; reheat gently in skillet or oven to maintain crispiness.
