There is nothing quite like a meal that cooks entirely on one sheet pan. I love how the sweetness of the potatoes pairs with the smoky, savory sausage, creating a balance that the whole family will enjoy.

My best tip is to cut the sweet potatoes into uniform cubes so they roast evenly. If you have some fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme, tossing them in right before roasting adds a wonderful earthy scent to your kitchen.

🧺 Ingredients

2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 inch cubes
1 pound smoked sausage, sliced into rounds
1 large bell pepper, chopped
1 red onion, chopped
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and black pepper to taste

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2
In a large mixing bowl, toss the cubed sweet potatoes, sliced sausage, bell pepper, and onion with the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
3
Spread the mixture out in a single layer on your prepared baking sheet.
4
Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the potatoes are tender and the sausage edges are nicely browned.
5
Serve warm directly from the pan.

💡 Tips

This dish stores well in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. To reheat, just pop it back in the oven or a skillet until hot. It tastes delicious served with a side of steamed green beans or a crisp green salad.
