Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by peeling and cubing the sweet potatoes into bite-sized pieces for even cooking. Gather your other ingredients.
  2. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes. Add the sausage and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Once the sausage is browned, stir in the cubed sweet potatoes. Allow them to cook uncovered for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften.
  4. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup of honey, 3 minced garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk until well blended and pour over the dish in the skillet.
  5. Cover the skillet and let the mixture simmer on low heat for approximately 10 minutes until sweet potatoes are fork-tender.
  6. Remove from heat and sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top. Serve hot.
