Ingredients
- 1 lb sausage pre-cooked*
- 1 medium onion roughly chopped
- 2 cloves garlic finely chopped
- 1 red bell pepper roughly chopped
- 1 lb brussels sprouts quartered
- 1 large sweet potato peeled or scrubbed and cut into 1/2" cubes**
- 2 Tbsp cooking fat divided
- salt and pepper to taste
- dash red pepper flakes
Instructions
-
*For this recipe, you will roast the sweet potatoes and brussels sprouts while cooking the sausage, peppers and onions in a skillet, then combine everything at the end.
-
Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F and toss your cubed sweet potatoes in a large bowl with 2 tsp cooking fat, sea salt and pepper. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the potatoes out evenly so none are touching.
-
Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, meanwhile toss quartered brussels sprouts with 1 tsp cooking fat and a bit of salt. After 20 minutes, stir the potatoes and toss with the brussels sprouts on the same baking sheet. Return to the oven and roast for 15 more minutes until the potatoes and sprouts are soft and browning.
-
While the potatoes and sprouts roast, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the remaining cooking fat. Add the onions and stir, cooking until translucent and soft, then add the garlic and chopped peppers and sprinkle with a bit of salt.
-
Cut your sausage (pre-cooked) into bite size pieces and add it to the skillet, cook and stir another minute or two until brown and crisp, then remove from heat.
-
Once the veggies are done roasting, add them to the skillet, sprinkle with crushed red pepper and stir to combine flavors.
-
Serve hot for any meal (fried eggs are great with it too!) and save leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can reheat in the oven, microwave or skillet. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
*For Whole30, check ingredient labels to ensure your sausage is sugar-free (most are not) Niman Ranch makes good pre-cooked andouille sausage and you can also purchase fully cooked pork sausage from U.S. Wellness Meats. Additionally, many grocery stores make their own sausage which may be sugar free, so check yours out!
**I used a white sweet potato which has a slightly less sweet flavor, but you can use any variety you like.
