Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound Italian sausage (sweet or spicy)
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
- 1 onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Toss diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Spread them out on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 20 minutes until tender and caramelized.
- Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the Italian sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into smaller pieces. Set aside.
- In the same skillet, sauté the chopped onion and bell peppers for 5-7 minutes until softened.
- Add minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Whisk together honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and ground ginger in a small bowl. Pour this sauce over the vegetables and stir.
- Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for 2-3 minutes to meld the flavors.
- Add roasted sweet potatoes to the skillet and gently toss everything together. Cook for another 2 minutes until heated through.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, use spicy Italian sausage or add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
- You can swap out the sweet potatoes for butternut squash if you prefer.
- This dish pairs beautifully with a light green salad or crusty bread for a hearty meal.
