Sweet Potato Apple Sausage Skillet

• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

1 Tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil

½ teaspoon salt

1 medium sweet potato (peeled and cut into 1/2 inch cubes)

½ medium yellow onion (chopped)

2 apples (cut into 1/2 inch pieces. I like to use Fuji or Granny Smith)

4 large pre-cooked chicken sausage links (if Whole30/Paleo is important, make sure sausage is compliant)

2 teaspoon fresh thyme (or 1/2 tsp dried thyme)

3 cloves garlic (minced)

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

¾ cup broth

Directions

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add onions, sweet potatoes and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally until the onions are translucent and potatoes are fork tender. About 10 minutes.Note: how hot your pan gets greatly depends on what type of metal your skillet is made of. A cast iron skillet conducts heat differently than a stainless steel and so on. Same with stoves. A gas stoves medium setting might be a higher heat than an electric stove. So, while medium is the heat is what I used and found ideal, you may need to increase or decrease the heat on your stove based on what you are using. Basically, you want things sizzling but not burning.

Stir in the apples, minced garlic, thyme, cinnamon and sliced sausage. Cook for 5 minute.

Add broth to skillet and bring to a boil. Cook until broth has evaporated. About 5 minutes

Serve and enjoy warm. Allow leftovers to cool and store in fridge for up to 3 days.
