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 ensuring they are cut into uniform pieces for even cooking.
  2. Cook the Sausage: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and brown it on all sides for 5-7 minutes until cooked through and nicely caramelized.
  3. Add Sweet Potatoes: Stir the cubed sweet potatoes into the skillet with the sausage and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing them to start softening and absorbing flavors.
  4. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, paprika, salt, and pepper. Pour this honey garlic sauce evenly over the sausage and sweet potatoes in the skillet.
  5. Simmer: Cover the skillet and let everything simmer gently for 10 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork and the sauce has thickened.
  6. Serve: Garnish the finished dish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor. Serve warm and enjoy your flavorful sausage and sweet potatoes with honey garlic sauce!

Notes

  • You can substitute Italian sausage with chicken sausage for a lighter version.
  • Use tamari instead of soy sauce for a gluten-free option.
  • If you like extra heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
  • Sweet potatoes should be cut into evenly sized cubes to ensure uniform cooking.
  • This dish pairs well with a side of steamed greens or a fresh garden salad.
