Ingredients
Scale
Meat
- 1 pound Sausage (can substitute with chicken sausage or plant-based options)
Vegetables
- 2 medium Sweet Potatoes (peeled and cubed)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1/4 cup Fresh Parsley (chopped)
Sauces and Oils
- 1/4 cup Honey (can be replaced with maple syrup for a vegan option)
- 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce (use tamari for gluten-free)
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (or any neutral oil)
Spices and Seasonings
- 1 teaspoon Paprika (adjust quantity to taste)
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Peel and cube the sweet potatoes into uniform 1-inch pieces. Mince the garlic and gather all the other ingredients to ensure a smooth cooking process.
- Cook the Sausage: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat for about 2 minutes. Add the sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 7 minutes until nicely browned and cooked through.
- Cook Sweet Potatoes: Add the cubed sweet potatoes to the skillet with the sausage and cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes start to soften.
- Mix Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, paprika, and season with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
- Add Sauce and Simmer: Pour the prepared sauce over the sausage and sweet potatoes mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and let simmer for about 10 minutes until the sweet potatoes are fully tender and the flavors meld together.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley. Serve the dish hot for a warm, comforting meal.
Notes
- For a vegan version, substitute sausage with plant-based sausage and use maple syrup instead of honey.
- Use tamari soy sauce for a gluten-free option.
- Adjust paprika amount to control spice level.
- Ensure sweet potatoes are cut uniformly for even cooking.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated well on the stovetop or microwave.
