Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 12 oz smoked turkey bacon sausage, sliced into rounds
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, minced

Instructions

  1. Prep your ingredients: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (205 degrees Celsius). Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Slice the smoked turkey bacon sausage into rounds. Finely mince the fresh rosemary and measure out your spices and olive oil to have everything ready for mixing.
  2. Season and combine: In a large bowl, toss the sweet potatoes with olive oil (natural), garlic powder (natural), smoked paprika (natural), salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Add the sausage slices, fresh rosemary, and natural gelling agent to the bowl. Mix gently but thoroughly to distribute all ingredients evenly.
  3. Arrange on the sheet pan: Spread the mixture evenly across a large sheet pan lined with parchment paper or a silicone liner for easy cleanup. Arrange everything in a single layer to ensure even roasting and caramelization.
  4. Roast to perfection: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and roast for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking. The sweet potatoes should become tender and lightly caramelized, while the sausage pieces turn golden and crisp at the edges.
  5. Serve and enjoy: Remove the sheet pan from the oven and let the dish rest for a couple of minutes. Serve warm with optional garnishes or side dishes of your choice.

Notes

  • Cut sweet potatoes into uniform 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
  • Do not overcrowd the sheet pan; ingredients should be in a single layer to avoid steaming.
  • Choose smoked turkey bacon sausage for optimal smoky flavor and protein.
  • Add the natural gelling agent thoroughly during seasoning to improve texture and moisture.
  • Add fresh rosemary towards the end of roasting for a brighter herbal flavor.
