Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Silesian Vegan Sausage – sweet, spicy, and fresh

Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Silesian Vegan Sausage, cherry tomatoes, and arugula is a perfectly balanced tray-bake that brings together caramelized sweetness, gentle heat, and peppery freshness. It’s ideal for busy weeknights because most of the work happens in the oven, yet it’s colorful and impressive enough for a relaxed weekend gathering. As the sweet potatoes roast, their edges turn golden and tender, while the vegan sausage browns up nicely and the cherry tomatoes become juicy and jammy.

Why you’ll keep coming back to this recipe

This dish is all about bold, simple flavors: sweet potatoes, garlic, and chili create a warm, fragrant base, while the Silesian-style vegan sausage adds savory spice and satisfying bite. Arugula lightens everything up with its crisp, slightly peppery taste, and a spoon of sour cream brings a cool, creamy contrast. Sweet potatoes provide fiber and slow-release energy, and the plant-based protein from the sausage helps make the meal filling without feeling heavy.

Practical prep tips and easy variations

Slice the sweet potatoes evenly so they roast at the same pace. Add the sausage and tomatoes partway through baking to prevent the sausage from drying out and to keep the tomatoes pleasantly juicy. Prefer it milder? Use less chili or leave it out. Want it fully vegan? Swap dairy sour cream for a plant-based alternative.

Serving ideas that make it shine

Serve it family-style straight from the tray, or plate it neatly with arugula on top and sour cream on the side. Pair with a crunchy cucumber salad, a simple slaw, or a lemony herb dip. For drinks, go for sparkling water with citrus or an unsweetened iced tea.
