Ingredients
Scale
Sausage and Sweet Potatoes
- 12 ounces sausage (your choice of type)
- 2 cups sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
Honey Garlic Sauce
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into uniform cubes to ensure even cooking. Mince the garlic cloves finely to release their flavor.
- Cook Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the sausage and cook until browned and cooked through, breaking it apart if using ground sausage. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook Sweet Potatoes: In the same skillet, add olive oil if needed and add the diced sweet potatoes. Cook over medium heat until they start to caramelize and become tender, about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add Garlic and Sauce: Add the minced garlic to the sweet potatoes and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in honey and season with salt and black pepper. Mix well to coat the sweet potatoes evenly with the honey garlic sauce.
- Combine and Finish: Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and stir everything together. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld and the sauce thicken slightly.
- Serve: Transfer the sausage sweet potatoes honey garlic mixture to serving plates. Pair with a fresh green salad or steamed broccoli for a balanced meal.
Notes
- You can customize this recipe by adding vegetables like bell peppers or Brussels sprouts during cooking.
- For a vegetarian or plant-based option, substitute sausage with a plant-based sausage alternative.
- Adjust the amount of honey according to your preferred sweetness level.
- Use fresh garlic rather than garlic powder for a more vibrant garlic flavor.
- This dish pairs well with steamed greens or a light salad to add color and nutrition.
