Step Three: Bake the Sweet Potatoes and Sausage
Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes evenly over a large sheet pan and place them in a 400-degree Fahrenheit oven. Bake for around 15 minutes, until the potatoes are just beginning to get tender.

Then, remove the pan from the oven and add the kale in an even layer on top of the rest ingredients. Return the pan to the oven and continue baking for 10 minutes.
