Ingredients
For the sweet potatoes:
2 medium sweet potatoes
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp honey
½ tsp paprika
½ tsp garlic powder
Salt and black pepper to taste
For the glazed sausage bites:
300 g smoked sausage, sliced into bite-sized pieces

1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp butter
½ tsp garlic powder
A pinch of chili flakes (optional)
For garnish:
Fresh parsley, chopped
Sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
1. Prepare the sweet potatoes: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Wash and slice the sweet potatoes into ½-inch rounds.
2. Season: Arrange the rounds on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and honey, then sprinkle with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Roast: Bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and caramelized around the edges.
4. Cook the sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the sausage bites and cook until golden brown.
5. Make the glaze: Add honey, brown sugar, soy sauce, and garlic powder. Stir until the sauce becomes thick, sticky, and glossy, coating the sausage pieces.
6. Assemble: Place the roasted sweet potato rounds on a serving platter and top each one with a glazed sausage bite.
7. Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh parsley and sesame seeds.
