Ingredients

  • 1 lb smoked kielbasa or andouille sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 0.25 cup hone y
  • 3 cloves garlic , minced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 0.5 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat a convection oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a heavy-duty rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine the cubed sweet potatoes and sliced sausage with olive oil, salt, and black pepper; toss until the lipid coating is uniform.
  • Distribute the mixture across the prepared baking sheet in a single layer to ensure optimal Maillard reaction and even heat distribution.
  • Roast for 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the sweet potatoes indicates cellular breakdown and tenderness.
  • While roasting, emulsify the honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes in a small glass bowl.
  • Remove the baking sheet from the oven and apply the honey garlic glaze over the ingredients, tossing with a spatula to ensure a comprehensive coating.
  • Return the tray to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to allow the sugars in the honey to caramelize and reduce into a thick glaze.
  • Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley to provide an aromatic finish and contrast.
