Sausage and Sweet Potatoes with Honey Garlic Sauce Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 lb sausage (Italian or chicken)
• 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/4 cup honey
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
• Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Ingredients: Peel and cube the sweet potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic cloves and chop the fresh parsley for garnish. Slice the sausage into pieces or keep them whole based on your preference.

2. 2

   Cook the Sausage: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes, turning occasionally to brown all sides. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.

3. 3

   Cook the Sweet Potatoes: In the same skillet, add the cubed sweet potatoes. Sprinkle with paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes begin to soften and develop a golden color, about 10-12 minutes.

4. 4

   Prepare the Honey Garlic Sauce: While the sweet potatoes are cooking, mix honey, minced garlic, and soy sauce in a small bowl until well combined.

5. 5

   Combine and Simmer: Return the cooked sausage to the skillet with the sweet potatoes. Pour the honey garlic sauce over the sausage and sweet potatoes. Stir gently to coat everything evenly. Reduce heat to low and allow the mixture to simmer for 5 minutes so the flavors meld and the sauce thickens slightly.

6. 6

   Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top for a burst of fresh flavor and color. Serve warm as a satisfying main dish.
