Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 3 sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 12 oz sausage, sliced (use your favorite type such as Italian or breakfast sausage)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients: Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into bite-sized cubes. Slice the sausage into rounds. Mince the garlic cloves finely to ensure the garlic flavor evenly distributes in the sauce.
- Cook the sausage: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage slices and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pan.
- Sauté sweet potatoes: In the same skillet with the sausage fat and oil, add the diced sweet potatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes start to caramelize and soften.
- Add garlic and honey: Stir in the minced garlic and drizzle the honey over the sweet potatoes. Continue to cook for another 3-5 minutes to allow the garlic to become fragrant and the honey to create a sticky glaze coating the sweet potatoes.
- Combine and finish cooking: Return the cooked sausage to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to meld all flavors and ensure the dish is hot throughout.
- Serve and garnish: Transfer to serving plates and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Pair this dish with a green salad or steamed broccoli for a complete meal. Enjoy your delicious Sausage Sweet Potatoes Honey Garlic!
