Ingredients
Scale
- 4 spicy or mild sausage links or sausages, sliced or whole
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional for extra flavor)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into small, uniform pieces for even cooking. Slice the sausage links if you haven’t already, ensuring quick browning and easy eating.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage slices or links and cook until browned on all sides. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil if needed. Toss in the diced sweet potatoes, season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika if using. Sauté until golden and tender, about 8-10 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Drizzle the honey over the sweet potatoes and sausages, stirring to coat everything evenly with the sweet and savory glaze.
- Allow the flavors to meld for another 2-3 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro before serving.
Notes
- Ensure sweet potatoes are diced into uniform pieces for even cooking.
- You can substitute chicken or turkey sausage for a leaner, lower-fat option.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika or red pepper flakes.
