Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz sausage kielbasa, chicken sausage, Italian sausage
  • 2 sweet potatoes
  • 1/2 head cauliflower OR
  • 2 colored peppers OR
  • 1 bunch broccoli OR
  • 20 Brussels sprouts OR
  • 1 lb green beans
  • 1 T olive oil
  • 1/2 t salt
  • 2 t sweet potato seasoning

Sweet Potato Seasoning (this is a batch, save the rest!)

  • 1 T salt
  • 1 T garlic powder
  • 1 T onion powder
  • 1 T paprika
  • 1 T cinnamon
  • 1 T parsley flakes

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 450°
  • Peel, clean, and cut sweet potatoes and vegetables. Allow to dry on a towel
  • Place vegetables into large bowl. Add 1/2 T olive oil and toss to coat. Sprinkle salt, dump vegetables to one side of sheet pan
  • Place sweet potatoes into same bowl. Add 1/2 T olive oil and toss to coat. Sprinkle sweet potato seasoning, and add sweet potatoes to other side of sheet pan
  • Bake for 20 minutes. Check for tenderness. Continue baking as needed, 5-20 more minutes
  • Meanwhile, cook raw sausages in a skillet with a little bit of water, just enough to keep them from sticking. Once they are nearly cooked through, cut each sausage into 4-6 pieces and continue browning on open ends, adding a bit of olive oil.
    If using pre-cooked sausage, cut each one into 4-6 pieces and brown them in a skillet with a bit of olive oil.
  • Turn sausages so the cut sides brown.
  • Combine all three components in a large bowl and serve with ketchup and mustard.

Sweet Potato Seasoning

  • Combine all six seasoning ingredients in a small bowl or reuse a spice jar.
  • You will notice they are equal parts. You may reduce the quantity to a teaspoon of each, or prepare a tablespoon of each so you have plenty on hand for future use.
