Preparation Steps

• Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
• In a large bowl, toss the cubed sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
• Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet.
• Roast for 20 minutes, or until they begin to soften.
• While the sweet potatoes are roasting, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add the Italian sausage to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned.
• Add the chopped onion to the skillet with the sausage and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in the minced garlic, dried rosemary, and dried thyme, and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
• Remove the baking sheet with sweet potatoes from the oven. Add the sausage and onion mixture to the baking sheet with the sweet potatoes.
• Toss everything together on the baking sheet.
• Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for another 20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and the sausage is fully cooked.
• Serve hot.
