Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1 pound Sausage (can substitute with chicken sausage or plant-based options)
  • 2 medium Sweet Potatoes (peeled and cubed)
  • 1/4 cup Honey (can be replaced with maple syrup for a vegan option)
  • 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce (use tamari for gluten-free)
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (or any neutral oil)
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika (adjust quantity to taste)
  • to taste Salt and Pepper (for seasoning)
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Parsley (chopped)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by heating olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the sausage to the skillet, cooking until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. While the sausage cooks, peel and cube the sweet potatoes.
Cooking
  1. Once the sausage is browned, add the sweet potatoes and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  2. In a small bowl, mix honey, garlic, soy sauce, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Pour the honey garlic sauce over the sausage and sweet potatoes. Stir well to coat.
  4. Cover the skillet and let it cook for an additional 10 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are tender.
  5. Once cooked, garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

For added flavor, try roasting the sweet potatoes instead of sautéing them. Customize by adding bell peppers or onions for extra crunch.
