Simple One Pan Sweet Potato and Sausage
This easy one pan dinner is a busy weeknight favorite that brings hearty flavors together with minimal cleanup.
recipesbynani.comThere 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.
