Ingredients
  • 1 large Sweet Potato
  • 8 oz Paleo-Friendly Sausage (chicken or pork)
  • 1/2 medium Onion
  • 1/2 medium Bell Pepper (any color)
  • 1 tablespoon Coconut Oil or Avocado Oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Paprika
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Black Pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Parsley (optional, for garnish)

Preparation

First, peel and dice the sweet potato into small, bite-sized pieces. Dice the onion and bell pepper as well. If using sausage links, remove them from their casings and crumble the sausage. If using ground sausage, ensure it's defrosted.

Cooking the Sausage

Heat the coconut oil or avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the crumbled sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.

Cooking the Vegetables

In the same skillet, add the diced sweet potato, onion, and bell pepper. Cook until the sweet potato is tender and the vegetables are slightly softened, about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. You may need to add a tablespoon of water to the skillet and cover it for a few minutes to help the sweet potato cook through.

Combining Ingredients

Return the cooked sausage to the skillet with the sweet potato and vegetables. Season with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Serving

Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
