Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium, diced sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 6 links Italian sausages
- 1 large, sliced red onion
- 1 diced red bell pepper
- 1 diced yellow bell pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup, grated (optional) parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish) fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a large baking dish with 1 tablespoon of olive oil or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a large bowl, toss the diced sweet potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the sweet potatoes evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Add the sliced red onion, diced red bell pepper, and diced yellow bell pepper on top of the sweet potatoes, ensuring even distribution.
Nestle the sausage links on top of the vegetables, leaving a little space between each one for even cooking.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, remove the dish from the oven and carefully flip the sausages for even browning.
Return the dish to the oven and bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until the sausages are fully cooked (internal temperature reaches 160°F) and the sweet potatoes are tender.
If using, sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the dish during the last 5 minutes of baking to allow it to melt slightly.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your comforting Sausage and Sweet Potato Bake!
