Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 1 lb sausage (Italian or chicken)

Vegetables

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed

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

Others

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Peel and cube the sweet potatoes into bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
  2. Cook the Sausage: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add Sweet Potatoes: Stir the cubed sweet potatoes into the skillet with the sausage, cooking for an additional 5 minutes to start softening them.
  4. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined. Pour this sauce over the sausage and sweet potatoes in the skillet, stirring gently to coat everything evenly.
  5. Simmer: Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  6. Serve: Remove the lid, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve warm for a comforting and delicious meal.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free version, use tamari instead of regular soy sauce.
  • You can substitute sausage type based on your preference, such as turkey or vegetarian sausage.
  • If you prefer less sweetness, reduce the honey amount to 2 tablespoons.
  • To add more vegetables, consider adding bell peppers or onions during the sweet potato cooking step.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
