Ingredients
  

1 lb maple breakfast sausage (bulk or casings removed)

1 medium sweet potato, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 small onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp smoked paprika

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Salt and pepper to taste

3 eggs (optional for topping)

2 tbsp olive oil

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Instructions
 

Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the maple sausage and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the sausage from the pan and set aside, leaving the drippings.

    Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Toss in the diced sweet potato and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until they start to soften.

      Add Aromatics: Incorporate the diced onion and bell pepper into the skillet. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and the sweet potatoes are tender.

        Season: Stir in the minced garlic, smoked paprika, ground cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Mix well and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

          Combine: Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and mix everything together. Degree on medium heat for about 2 more minutes to ensure everything is heated through.

            Optional Eggs: If using eggs, create small wells in the mixture and crack one egg into each well. Cover the skillet and cook until the eggs are set to your liking, about 4-5 minutes for runny yolks.

              Cheese & Garnish: If desired, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top and cover until melted. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

                Serve: Spoon the warm skillet mixture onto plates. Enjoy your hearty and flavorful Maple Sausage Sweet Potato Breakfast Skillet!
