1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

2. Place sweet potatoes on the sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss to coat evenly. Spread into a single layer.

3. Roast sweet potatoes for 15 minutes.

4. While potatoes roast, slice chicken sausage into 1/2-inch pieces.

5. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce or tamari, and red pepper flakes if using.

6. Remove sheet pan from oven and add sausage to the sweet potatoes. Drizzle half of the honey garlic sauce over everything and toss lightly.

7. Return pan to oven and roast for another 15 minutes, or until sweet potatoes are tender and edges are caramelized.

8. Drizzle remaining sauce over the dish, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve warm.
