- Salt and black pepper to taste
- For the Honey Garlic Sauce:
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

- ½ tsp smoked paprika (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Prep Ingredients: Cube sweet potatoes, slice onion, and cut sausage if needed.
