Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Peel and cube the sweet potatoes into roughly 1-inch pieces. Soak the cubed sweet potatoes in cold water for about 10 minutes. Drain and pat dry.
  3. In a skillet over medium heat, add the honey garlic sausage and cook for 8-10 minutes until browned. Set the cooked sausage aside to cool slightly.
  4. Combine the dried sweet potatoes with the cooked sausage in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat.
  5. Spread the mixture evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast for 30-35 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  6. Once golden and aromatic, remove from oven and garnish with fresh herbs. Serve warm.
