Ingredients

Scale

Sausage and Vegetables

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

Honey Garlic Sauce

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

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Peel and cube the sweet potatoes into bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
  2. Cook the Sausage: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. Add Sweet Potatoes: Incorporate the cubed sweet potatoes into the skillet with the sausage, stirring well. Cook for an additional 5 minutes to start softening the potatoes.
  4. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir until well blended, then pour over the sausage and sweet potatoes in the skillet.
  5. Simmer: Cover the skillet and reduce heat to low. Let the mixture simmer gently for about 10 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  6. Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve warm for a delicious and comforting meal.

Notes

  • Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
  • Substitutions: Try turkey sausage for a leaner protein, or swap sweet potatoes with butternut squash for a different flavor and texture.
