Preparing the Ingredients
Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). While it heats, peel and cube the sweet potatoes into ½‑inch pieces, then toss them with a drizzle of olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a rimmed baking sheet so they roast evenly. Slice the red bell pepper and set aside; it will add a pop of color and a mild sweetness later.
Cooking the Sausage
- Sauté the Sausage. Heat a large cast‑iron skillet over medium‑high heat. Add the sausage links and cook, turning occasionally, for 6‑8 minutes until they develop a deep golden crust. The rendered fat will become the base for the sauce, so don’t discard it.
- Slice & Set Aside. Remove the sausages, slice them diagonally into ½‑inch rounds, and keep warm on a plate. Leaving the pan on will allow you to build the glaze without adding extra oil.
