Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb sausage (Italian or chicken sausage works well)
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Honey Garlic Sauce

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Start by peeling and cubing the sweet potatoes. This ensures even cooking and allows the natural sweetness to shine through.
  2. Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until browned, approximately 5-7 minutes. This step infuses the dish with rich flavors.
  3. Add Sweet Potatoes: Once the sausage is browned, add the cubed sweet potatoes to the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for another 5 minutes until they start to soften.
  4. Make the Honey Garlic Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, paprika, salt, and pepper. Pour this mixture over the sausage and sweet potatoes, stirring to coat everything evenly.
  5. Simmer: Cover the skillet and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the sweet potatoes to become tender and the flavors to meld beautifully.
  6. Serve: Once cooked, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use turkey or plant-based sausage for a lighter or vegan alternative.
  • Substitute sweet potatoes with butternut squash or regular potatoes for a different flavor.
  • Maple syrup can replace honey for a vegan-friendly sauce.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
  • Consider adding spinach or kale during the last few minutes of cooking for extra greens.
  • Serve over quinoa or brown rice for added texture and fiber.
  • Don’t overcook the sausage to keep it juicy and avoid undercooking the sweet potatoes.
