This is my kind of dinner—fast, easy, and healthy. With only 3 mostly premade ingredients, this dinner really comes together in no time and is full of protein and fiber. We’ll probably add some hot honey for a little kick and more flavor, but regular honey or even maple syrup could add something and make it more kid-friendly.
Chefadora AI has the answer - timers, swaps, step-by-step help.
Preheat a large frying pan to medium-high heat with 1 tablespoon of oil.
Cook the breakfast sausage until browned, breaking it into smaller pieces.
While the sausage is browning, defrost the frozen sweet potatoes in the microwave for 3 to 4 minutes or until thawed.
Add the thawed sweet potatoes to the skillet with the sausage and season with salt and pepper if desired. Cook until the sweet potatoes are warmed through, approximately five minutes.
While the sweet potatoes are cooking in the skillet, microwave the brown rice and quinoa mix according to the instructions on the bag.
Add the cooked rice and quinoa mix to the skillet and mix all ingredients together.
Optional: Add chopped parsley, hot honey, regular honey, or maple syrup for additional flavor.
For a kid-friendly version, use regular honey or maple syrup instead of hot honey.
Adding chopped parsley can enhance the flavor and presentation of the dish.
Can I use fresh sweet potatoes instead of frozen?
