Ingredients
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 1 Tbsp butter
  • salt
  • 1 pound Italian sausage
  • 3 pounds sweet potatoes
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 Tbsp dried rosemary
  • 3 Tbsp canola oil or olive oil
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
  1. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium high heat. Add sliced onions and sprinkle with salt. The pan will be pretty full, but the onions will cook down.
  2. Reduce heat to about medium or medium-low. Cook onions about 30 minutes or until they become nice and golden brown. Be sure to stir occasionally to prevent burning.
  3. Meanwhile, in another skillet, brown the sausage over medium-high heat. Break into small pieces as it cooks. Stir occasionally, but no too much because you want the sausage to get golden and a little crispy. Drain excess fat.
  4. While onions and sausage are cooking, work on chopping the sweet potatoes into ½ inch cubes.
  5. Toss together sweet potatoes, oil, garlic, rosemary, and black pepper in large bowl.
  6. Once onions and sausage are fully cooked, add them to the sweet potato mixture.
  7. Line a large baking sheet with foil and spread mixture out evenly. Bake at 450 degrees for about 30 minutes or until sweet potatoes are tender. Be sure to watch closely since the oven temperature is so high.
Notes
You can make this the day before and just roast the sweet potatoes. Then when you are getting ready to serve it, combine cooked sweet potatoes with sausage and onion mixture. Bake at 425 degrees for 15 -20 minutest or until hot.
