Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by heating a large skillet over medium heat and adding 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add 1 pound of sliced sausage to the pan. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is browned.
  2. Next, stir in 2 cups of cubed sweet potatoes, tossing gently to combine with the sausage. Sauté the mixture for another 5 minutes.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 4 tablespoons of honey, 4 minced cloves of garlic, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of paprika, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Pour the sauce over the sausage and sweet potatoes.
  4. Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Let the dish simmer for approximately 10 minutes.
  5. Once the sweet potatoes are perfectly tender, remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the top for a vibrant finish. Serve hot.
