Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 links sausages (preferably smoked or pork sausages)
• 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
• 2 cups Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
• 1 large apple, cored and sliced
• 1 medium yellow onion, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 0.25 cup chicken broth
• 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage links and cook for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Remove the sausages from the skillet and set aside.

Step 2

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the diced sweet potatoes and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.

Step 3

Add the sliced onion, Brussels sprouts, and garlic to the skillet. Cook for another 5 minutes until the vegetables start to become tender.

Step 4

Stir in the sliced apple, chicken broth, thyme, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts are fully tender.

Step 5

Slice the cooked sausages into 1-inch pieces and return them to the skillet. Gently toss everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 6

Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
