Ingredients

1 lb. ground sausage
2 medium sweet potatoes, chopped into small cubes (about ½")
2 cups sliced Brussels sprouts
½ red onion, chopped
1 ½ tsp. salt, divided
1 ½ tsp. thyme, divided
1 tsp. garlic powder, divided
½ tsp. ground black pepper
½ tsp. rosemary
¼ tsp. paprika
½ tsp. coconut sugar (optional)
1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

Preheat skillet (or regular sauté pan) over med-high heat.
Add the ground sausage, 1 tsp. salt, 1 tsp. thyme, ½ tsp. garlic, pepper, rosemary, paprika, and coconut sugar (optional) to pre-heated skillet. Break sausage into small crumbles and mix in seasoning.
Cook sausage until cooked through, about 10 minutes, stirring frequently. When done, remove sausage from skillet and set aside.
Add sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts to skillet along with olive oil, ½ tsp. salt, ½ tsp. garlic, and ½ tsp. thyme. Cover and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until veggies begin to soften.
Uncover and add chopped onions. Continue to cook until all veggies are cooked through; about 5 additional minutes.
Add cooked sausage back to skillet and cook 2 additional minutes to reheat sausage.
Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

I recommend organic ingredients where possible. With this recipe, specifically the ground sausage.
