Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 12 oz sausage (pork or your choice), sliced or crumbled
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Slice or crumble the sausage. Mince the garlic cloves finely to release their flavor.
- Cook Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil and add the sausage. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Sauté Sweet Potatoes: In the same skillet, add the diced sweet potatoes. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes start to caramelize and soften, roughly 10-12 minutes.
- Add Garlic and Honey: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Drizzle honey over the sweet potatoes and mix well to coat, allowing the sweetness to meld and caramelize slightly.
- Combine Sausage and Sweet Potatoes: Return the cooked sausage to the skillet with the sweet potatoes and garlic mixture. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes so the flavors marry nicely.
- Season and Serve: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm, optionally garnished with fresh herbs or alongside a green salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal.
Notes
- You can swap pork sausage with chicken, turkey, or plant-based sausage to suit dietary preferences.
- Adding vegetables like bell peppers or Brussels sprouts can enhance nutrition and add texture.
- For a low-sugar version, reduce honey or substitute with a sugar-free sweetener.
- Ensure even sized sweet potato pieces for uniform cooking.
