Frequently Asked Questions

Do you need to peel the sweet potatoes first?

I'd recommend peeling them, but it's a matter of preference. You could also buy pre-diced sweet potatoes to save time.

Yes! Just leave out the sausage and serve with a plant-based protein like tofu scramble or black beans.

What other veggies can you add?
