This sweet and savory skillet meal features tender sweet potatoes, smoky sausage, and a sticky honey garlic glaze — perfect for quick dinners or cozy brunches.
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced (½-inch cubes)
12 oz smoked sausage, sliced into coins
2 tbsp olive oil (divided)
3 garlic cloves, minced
¼ cup honey
2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
Salt and black pepper to taste
Chopped parsley or green onions for garnish (optional)
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add sweet potatoes, season with salt, and cook for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and caramelized.
Push sweet potatoes to one side. Add remaining oil and sausage. Cook until browned, about 5 minutes.
Clear space in the center. Sauté garlic for 30 seconds.
Stir in honey, soy sauce, and vinegar. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until glaze thickens slightly.
Toss everything together to coat in glaze. Add red pepper flakes if using.
