Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb sausage (Italian or chicken)
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed

Sauce Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Peel and cube the sweet potatoes into evenly sized pieces to ensure they cook uniformly.
  2. Cook the Sausage: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and brown it for 5-7 minutes, breaking it up or turning as needed until cooked through and nicely browned.
  3. Add Sweet Potatoes: Stir in the cubed sweet potatoes with the sausage and cook for an additional 5 minutes to let the flavors meld and start softening the potatoes.
  4. Make the Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, paprika, salt, and pepper. Pour this mixture evenly over the sausage and sweet potatoes in the skillet.
  5. Simmer: Cover the skillet and let everything simmer together for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes are tender and the sauce is thick and flavorful.
  6. Serve: Remove the skillet from heat, garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a bright, herbal touch, and serve warm for a hearty meal.

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken sausage with turkey or pork sausage based on your preference.
  • For a gluten-free version, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
  • Adjust honey quantity if you prefer a less sweet sauce.
  • Use fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish depending on your flavor preference.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
