Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by peeling and cubing the sweet potatoes into even bite-sized pieces, ensuring they cook uniformly. This process should take about 5 minutes.
  2. Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat for about 2 minutes. Add the sausage and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned.
  3. Add Sweet Potatoes: Stir in the cubed sweet potatoes and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing them to begin softening.
  4. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk until smooth.
  5. Simmer: Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for 10 minutes until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender.
  6. Serve: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot, alone or over a bed of quinoa or rice.
