Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb sausage (Italian or chicken)

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed

  • ¼ cup honey

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon paprika

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Peel and cube the sweet potatoes into bite-sized pieces.

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

  • Add the sausage and cook for 5–7 minutes, browning on all sides.

  • Stir in the cubed sweet potatoes and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  • In a small bowl, whisk together honey, garlic, soy sauce, paprika, salt, and pepper.

  • Pour the sauce over the sausage and sweet potatoes, stirring to coat evenly.

  • Cover the skillet and simmer for 10 minutes, or until sweet potatoes are tender.

  • Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Don’t overcrowd the pan: This helps the sausage brown properly.

  • Adjust sweetness: Reduce honey slightly if you prefer a more savory dish.

  • Add heat: A pinch of red pepper flakes adds a nice kick.

  • Make it a meal: Serve with rice, quinoa, or a simple green salad.
