Easy Recipe for Spicy Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Chicken-Garlic Sausage
Ingredients:
2 large or 3 medium red-fleshed sweet potatoes, cut into pieces about 1 1/2 inches across (sometimes called yams or sweet yams in U.S. grocery stores)
1 T + 1 tsp. olive oil
1 T Sweet Potato Fry Seasoning (see below)
4 pre-cooked chicken sausages with garlic, cut into fourths (I used Sabatinos Chicken Sausage with Mozzarella, Artichokes and Garlic)
Seasoning Mix Ingredients:
(store extra seasoning in a glass jar)
2 T ground coriander
1 T ground fennel
1 T dried oregano (use any Mediterranean oregano like Greek Oregano or Turkish oregano, but not Mexican oregano for this.)
1 T Aleppo Pepper (or use a smaller amount of cayenne pepper)
2 T kosher salt
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 400F/200C. Spray a large baking sheet with non-stick spray or olive oil.
Peel sweet potatoes with a vegetable peeler and then cut into cubes about 1 1/2 inches across. Toss sweet potatoes with the olive oil and sweet potato fry seasoning, sprinkling the seasoning over so that all the sweet potatoes are seasoned. Arrange sweet potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet and roast 30 minutes, turning once or twice if you can so all the sweet potatoes are browning evenly.
While sweet potatoes roast, cut each sausage into four pieces. After 30 minutes, either push all the sausage together in the middle of the baking sheet or transfer sweet potatoes to a baking dish where they are close together. Arrange the sausage pieces on top of the sweet potatoes and cook 25-30 minutes more, turning the sausage once if you can so they brown on both sides. Serve hot.
