Ingredients
1 lb smoked sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
3 tbsp honey
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
1. Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into bite-sized chunks. Slice sausage into 1/2-inch rounds. Mince the garlic and preheat oven to 400°F (if using oven method).
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear sausage slices for 3-4 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.
3. In the same pan, add sweet potatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 10-12 minutes until tender and golden (or roast for 20 minutes if using oven).
4. In a bowl, whisk honey, garlic, and soy sauce. Pour glaze over sweet potatoes and stir well to coat.
5. Return sausage to pan, toss to combine, and cook another 5-7 minutes (or roast for 10 more minutes).
6. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.
Notes
Use pre-cooked sausage for the best texture and fastest cooking.
Make sure sweet potatoes are cut evenly to avoid over or undercooking.
Reheat leftovers in a skillet to restore the sausage’s crisp edges.
