Ingredients
2Large Sweet Potatoes, peeled and cut into 2 inch cubes
12ozBroccoli Florets
1Large Red Onion, quartered and peeled
13ozCajun Style Andouille Sausage, sliced
1tbspMrs Dash Garlic and Herb Blend
Honey, Optional for Drizzling, about 1 tbsp
For the Marinade
3tbspOlive Oil
1tspGarlic Powder
1/2tspGround Cumin
1/2tspSmoked Paprika
1/2tspChili Powder
1/2tspOnion Powder
1/2tsp eachSalt and Pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a bowl, mix the sweet potato cubes with the marinade ingredients, ensuring they are well-coated. Spread the sweet potatoes on a sheet pan and bake for 20 minutes. This step is crucial as it allows the sweet potatoes to soften before adding other ingredients.
While the sweet potatoes are baking, prepare the broccoli and red onion. Drizzle them with olive oil and season with the Mrs. Dash blend.
After the sweet potatoes have baked for 20 minutes, add the broccoli and onion to the pan, then top with the sliced sausage.
Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes.
For that extra touch, drizzle with honey and broil on high for about 5 minutes, allowing everything to crisp up nicely.
Notes
Feel free to substitute the vegetables based on your preferences—zucchini, bell peppers, asparagus, or even Brussels sprouts can work wonderfully. If you do not care for spicy foods, there are plenty of options for smoked sausage that are not spicy! Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
