Ingredients
– 4-6 sausages (your choice of meat or plant-based)

– 4 cups of fresh greens (spinach, kale, or Swiss chard work well)

Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your delicious Roasted Sausages with Sweet Potato Mash and Wilted Greens:
1. Preheat Your Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: After peeling and cubing the sweet potatoes, place them in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, about 15 minutes.
3. Cook the Sausages: While the sweet potatoes are cooking, arrange the sausages on the prepared baking sheet. Brush them lightly with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
4. Roast the Sausages: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the sausages for about 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through for even browning.
5. Mash the Sweet Potatoes: Once the sweet potatoes are tender, drain them and return them to the pot. Add butter (if desired) and mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Wilt the Greens: In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the greens and sauté until just wilted, about 3-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
7. Assemble the Dish: On each plate, spoon a generous portion of sweet potato mash, top with the roasted sausages, and finish with a serving of sautéed greens. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
