One-Pan Sweet Potato Apple and Sausage Skillet

A quick and healthy 30-minute dinner featuring savory sausage, tender sweet potatoes, and tart apples for the perfect seasonal meal.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1 lb Smoked Sausage or Kielbasa, sliced into rounds
2 large Sweet Potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/2 inch cubes
2 medium Honeycrisp or Granny Smith Apples, diced
1 medium Red Onion, chopped
2 tbsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Fresh Rosemary, minced
1/2 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Black Pepper
2 cups Fresh Kale, stems removed and chopped (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced sausage and cook for 5-6 minutes until browned on both sides.
Step 2: Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside. In the same pan, add the diced sweet potatoes and season with salt and pepper.
Step 3: Cover the skillet and cook the sweet potatoes for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are fork-tender and slightly browned.
Step 4: Add the diced apples and red onion to the skillet. Sauté for another 5 minutes until the onion is translucent and the apples have softened slightly.
Step 5: Return the browned sausage to the pan and add the fresh rosemary and kale (if using). Stir everything together for 2 minutes until the kale is wilted and the sweet potato apple and sausage skillet is heated through.
Step 6: Serve immediately while hot and enjoy the perfect balance of flavors.

Notes

Use a cast iron skillet for the best caramelization on the potatoes and apples.
