Ingredients

Scale

Sweet Potatoes

  • 2 medium firm sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes

Sausage

  • 12 oz Italian sausage (spicy or mild, based on preference), cut into pieces

Honey Garlic Sauce

  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced

Other Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Sweet Potatoes: Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes to ensure even cooking. Toss them with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper until they are well coated.
  2. Brown the Sausage: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage pieces and cook until browned and cooked through. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Cook the Sweet Potatoes: In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil if needed. Sauté the sweet potato cubes for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and develop golden edges.
  4. Make the Honey Garlic Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the honey and minced garlic. Pour this mixture over the sweet potatoes in the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to glaze and caramelize on the sweet potatoes.
  5. Combine and Finish: Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and stir gently to coat everything evenly with the honey garlic glaze. Cook for another 2 minutes to blend the flavors thoroughly.

Notes

  • Cut sweet potatoes into uniform 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
  • Do not overcrowd the skillet to ensure proper browning.
  • Use fresh minced garlic for a more vibrant and aromatic flavor rather than garlic powder.
  • Allow the dish to rest off the heat for a couple of minutes before serving to deepen the flavor.
  • Select high-quality sausage to enhance the overall taste of the dish.
