Cooking the Sweet Potato

- Add garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, and crushed red pepper, stirring until fragrant.
Finishing Touches
- Return sausage to the skillet, toss in spinach or kale until wilted, and splash with apple cider vinegar or lemon juice.
- Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
Serving
- Spoon into bowls and garnish with pepitas, parsley, or yogurt. Serve with crusty bread or over rice for a heartier meal.
Notes
Ensure even cooking by cutting vegetables to a similar size. Don't overcrowd the pan when browning the sausage for better flavor.
