Ingredients

Scale

Sausage and Vegetables

  • 1 lb sausage (Italian or chicken)
  • 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: Peel and cube the sweet potatoes into even pieces to ensure uniform cooking.
  2. Cook the Sausage: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sausage and brown it thoroughly for 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart or turning as needed to cook evenly.
  3. Add Sweet Potatoes: Stir in the cubed sweet potatoes with the sausage and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the potatoes to begin softening.
  4. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined. Pour this sauce mixture evenly over the sausage and sweet potatoes in the skillet.
  5. Simmer: Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Let the mixture simmer gently for 10 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are tender and have absorbed the flavors of the sauce.
  6. Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve warm and enjoy this comforting, flavorful dish.

Notes

  • Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months for longer preservation.
  • Substitutions: Swap sausage with turkey sausage for a leaner option or use butternut squash instead of sweet potatoes for a different flavor.
