Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz smoked sausage
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 0.25 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley
Instructions
Prepare the ingredients: peel and dice the sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes, slice the smoked sausage into rounds, dice the red bell pepper, finely chop the yellow onion, and mince the garlic cloves.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the smoked sausage slices and sear for 2–3 minutes per side until browned. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the onions and sauté for 3 minutes until softened. Then, add the garlic, red bell pepper, smoked paprika, dried thyme, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring continuously, until fragrant.
Add the sweet potatoes to the skillet and toss to combine with the spices and vegetables. Pour in the chicken broth, cover the skillet with a lid, and let it simmer over medium-low heat for 15 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender.
Return the smoked sausage to the skillet and stir to combine. Allow everything to cook together for an additional 5 minutes to meld the flavors, stirring occasionally.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve warm as a standalone meal or alongside your favorite bread.
