Ingredients
Scale
- 4โ5 hearty honey garlic sausages (pork, chicken, or veggie-based)
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley or basil for garnish
- Red pepper flakes (optional for a spicy kick)
Instructions
- Begin by heating a large skillet over medium heat. Slice the sausages into bite-sized pieces and cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add two tablespoons of olive oil and toss in the cubed sweet potatoes. Cook for approximately 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and slightly caramelized.
- Add the minced garlic to the sweet potatoes and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Stir in honey, smoked paprika (if using), salt, and pepper, coating the sweet potatoes evenly.
- Return the cooked sausages to the skillet and mix well. Let everything cook together for another 3-5 minutes to meld flavors.
Notes
- Choose quality sausages such as pork, chicken, turkey, or plant-based options for the best flavor.
- For a healthier version, opt for leaner sausages like chicken or turkey.
- Add a pinch of red pepper flakes if you like spicy dishes.
- Adjust seasoning as needed; taste and modify before serving.
