  • Serving bowls

Ingredients

For the Sweet Potatoes

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes (approximately 4 ounces each; peeled, cubed)
  • 1 tablespoon neutral-flavored oil (avocado oil, refined coconut oil, etc.)
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt

For the Breakfast Sausage

Instructions

For the Sweet Potatoes

  • Preheat oven to 425° Fahrenheit.
  • Add 2 medium sweet potatoes (peeled, cubed) to medium bowl. Drizzle 1 tablespoon neutral-flavored oil over sweet potato cubes, then add ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon and ½ teaspoon salt. Toss ingredients together until sweet potatoes are fully coated in oil and spices.
  • Spread sweet potato cubes across baking sheet in one even layer. Place baking sheet in preheated oven and roast sweet potatoes 10 to 15 minutes.
  • After 10 to 15 minutes, carefully remove baking sheet from oven. Flip sweet potato cubes over with spatula, then return baking sheet to oven. Roast sweet potatoes 10 to 15 minutes more or until potatoes are golden and tender.
  • Once potatoes are golden and tender, carefully remove baking sheet from oven and set aside.

For the Sausage

  • While sweet potatoes roast, place large skillet on stovetop over high heat. Add 1 pound ground breakfast sausage and cook, breaking sausage into small pieces, until sausage is browned and crumbled, approximately 12 minutes.

  • Garnish bowl with drizzle of hot honey and any desired toppings. Serve hot.
