Ingredients

Scale

Sausage and Sweet Potatoes

  • 1 lb sausage (Italian or chicken)
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Honey Garlic Sauce

  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika

For Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into evenly sized cubes to ensure they cook evenly.
  2. Cook the Sausage: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until nicely browned, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally to brown on all sides.
  3. Add Sweet Potatoes: Stir the cubed sweet potatoes into the skillet with the sausage and cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the sweet potatoes to start softening.
  4. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, paprika, salt, and pepper to create the flavorful honey garlic sauce. Pour this sauce mixture evenly over the sausage and sweet potatoes in the skillet.
  5. Simmer: Cover the skillet with a lid and simmer on low heat for 10 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and the sauce has thickened slightly, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  6. Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve warm for a comforting and tasty meal.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free option, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
  • Feel free to substitute sausage with chicken sausage or turkey sausage for a leaner protein.
  • If you prefer a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the honey garlic sauce.
  • Sweet potatoes should be cubed evenly to ensure even cooking.
  • This dish reheats well and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
