Sausage and Sweet Potatoes with Honey Garlic Sauce is a quick, comforting, and flavor-packed meal perfect for busy weeknights. Savory sausage pairs beautifully with tender sweet potatoes, all coated in a sweet and garlicky sauce with just the right balance of saltiness. Ready in only 30 minutes, this one-pan dish is satisfying, family-friendly, and incredibly easy to make.
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)
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.
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.
